Tom Hiddleston: 'Sorry if I'm boring you'
Tom Hiddleston understands if people find it "deeply tiresome" to see him everywhere.
The British actor is the name on everyone's lips at the moment thanks to several film releases and a hit TV series. With so much promotion on the cards, the 35-year-old is fully aware that his presence may be wearing thin on some.
"I apologize, unreservedly, first of all, for being everywhere," he
told New York Times. "I’m sure it’s deeply tiresome and nobody
wants to ever see my face again. There’s a strange coincidence in
that the work of the last 18 months of my life has all been
released at the same time. And for me, each piece of work has such
integrity and focus. But it must seem different to be in the
audience. I do feel very lucky that I’m allowed to do so many
different things."
While his movies High-Rise and Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light
have garnered massive attention on the silver screen, it's his role
in small-screen production The Night Manager that has made jaws
drop. He plays former solider Jonathan Pine and shot several
raunchy sex scenes for the show, one of which caused a social media
uproar upon being aired thanks to his bare bottom being on full
display.
"It was probably very good that I was away in Vietnam making Kong:
Skull Island when that happened," he said of the racy scene. "When
we shot the scene, I didn’t see it as being any more or less
significant than any other scene in The Night Manager. The response
is surprising, but it is what it is, I guess. The thing about any
love scene, I think the representation is always quite different
from the actual experience of making it."
