Tom Hiddleston and his copy of The Night Manager greet fans at the BFI & Radio Times TV Festival - April 9th, 2017

You can have a crush on a celeb and not comment on their stuff with "daddy fuck me."

I swear. You guys think it’s so fucking cute or funny. Just imagine some random ass stranger commenting on every single post you make with some creepy ass comment. It’s fucking gross.

I can’t even read the comments on Seb’s IG anymore cause they make my stomach turn every single time. Do not call celebs ‘daddy’ on their social media, that shit is for fanfic and tumblr only!

For now, it’s full-on feast for the actor, who has already established a wide fan base not just for his films, but his charm – he always seems to be having the best time, whether making a surprise appearance at Comic-Con or singing with Stephen Colbert. In addition to the miniseries “The Night Manager” on AMC, the actor can be seen in theaters in “I Saw the Light,” Marc Abraham’s faithful biopic of Hank Williams. Later this month, he’ll head an impressive ensemble that includes Sienna Miller and Jeremy Irons in Ben Wheatley’s “High Rise,” an adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s 1970s cult novel about residents trapped in a state-of-the-art tower, where things begin to go very, very wrong.

Taking his turn as leading man has been a long time coming for Hiddleston, who shot to fame as the surprisingly sympathetic villain Loki in 2011’s “Thor” and 2012’s “The Avengers.” Wheatley recalls first taking notice of the actor in the latter film. “That film could have been called ‘Loki,’” says the director with a laugh. “Though it was an ensemble, Tom stood out to me so much.”

Outside of the Marvel Universe, Hiddleston has already worked with some of the best directors in the business, from Steven Spielberg in “War Horse” to Woody Allen in “Midnight in Paris.”  Last year he starred opposite Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska in Guillermo Del Toro’s gothic romance “Crimson Peak.”

And throughout his career, he’s built a rabid fan base known as “Hiddlestoners.” As a result, pretty much any of his appearances — including a recent weather report for a Chicago TV station — go viral. Hiddleston admits that many people, including journalists, give him the sense that his followers are crazed. “They think my fans are hysterical and delusional, whereas I’ve found them to be fans of the work,” he says. He mentions one reporter who took fan questions online and was shocked by how incisive the questions were. “I think perhaps people tend to group all fans of everyone all together and make them one homogeneous amorphous beast driven only by adoration,” he says. “I’ve always thought of ‘fans’ as another word for an audience. And an actor cannot call himself an actor without an audience to watch his or her work.”

I loved that he said this. Because it’s the truth, for most of us.

Here is my Tom pic and my story!! Sorry for the long post, but I have a lot to say! Please don’t remove my story. And DO NOT repost this picture anywhere else. I’ve seen so many reposts of fan pictures. So please just reblog this or like it. Thank you. 

OK NOW TO THE STORY

Tom is amazing. I never doubted he was. But this con was very unorganized. I’ve been to several, and this was not handled well. We had to do a lot of waiting, because of the scheduling, (none of which was Tom’s fault btw) but honestly? It was worth the wait. Yes i’m exhausted, but I’ve waited for several years to meet Tom so waiting for a few hours is small in comparison. Considering all of that, Tom was as I said, amazing. I imagine he was tired. He’s never done a con like this one before, and I glad I got to be there for it. 

The picture happened so fast, like they always do. But I’ll never forget it. He has such a presence in a room. Probably because he’s just so pretty and handsome and TALL. As soon as i walked up I asked if I could have a “big hug” and that’s what I got. He smiled and said “sure!” He squeezed me and I squeezed back. That’s why he’s leaning a little bit, I squeezed too hard I guess! And he GIGGLED. So I feel like me squeezing him was ok. He hugged me tight right back, and he’s just so huggable, it was hard not to squeeze. When I pulled away I told him I was so excited to meet him. He replied with, “cool.” I thought that was kinda cute. But tbh I image he’d been told 300 million things and just kinda said something. Also the photographers were rushing people, and he didn’t have time to say much anyways. And I don’t blame him. Can you imagine that? Having to respond to all these people in such a short time? He handled it all so well, and he was kind. Tbh I could care less what he said, his voice and his eyes alone are worth it. And my autograph moment with him was absolutely amazing, and I actually got to talk to him. 

The moment I was in front of him at the autograph booth I said, “Hi Tom!” he replied with “Hey Taylor.” And that was where my life ended. Thank heavens for personalized autographs. Hearing my name in that rich British accent was well worth the four/five hour wait. His voice sounds like honey. As he signed the autograph, I thanked him for being there, that I’ve enjoyed following his career, I’m excited to watch more of his work, and I told him he has helped me with my anxiety. All of which he was so kind about. He thanked me over and over. I only stumbled over my words once, and it was when he paused his writing to look up at me. (Side note: when he wasn’t looking at me, I was staring at the chest hair peeking out from under his henley). But really, he has the kindest eyes. And like Chris Evans’ did, I got lost in Tom’s glow. I thanked Tom again, he thanked me again, and I told him it was nice to meet him again. He smiled and I shook his hand. I left the autograph booth and the con satisfied. Tom is a sweetheart, and amidst all the stress and un-organization, he kept his head. He was kind to me, and it meant a lot. 

Feel free to come chat w/ him about this if you want! I love talking about it!

I think my favorite thing about seeing all of these posts is how genuinely he hugs people. You see a lot of celebrity pictures where they just stand awkwardly next to you or wrap an arm around you but it’s sort of like a half ass thing.

But look at this!! He’s HUGGING HER. Like, full on, no-holds-barred hugging her. And most of the pictures have been that way. He’s not afraid to show kindness, compassion, and even this level of intimacy. 

It’s inspiring, really
