@paternalpadfoot requested: Could you make a set of Tom and his various shakespeare roles? I just adore his love of the Bard.
Shakespeare would seriously laugh so hard if he found out how seriously people take his works. Like, he would probably cry from laughing so hard if you told him that his plays were considered high-brow literature. “It’s all dick jokes and sword fights,” he’d say, “do they seriously tell my dick jokes to schoolchildren? And the kids aren’t allowed to laugh? Do the teachers know they’re telling dick jokes? Oh my god that’s fucking hilarious. Wait until I tell Anne.”
Tom Hiddleston + Shakespeare
Does it scare you to do Shakespeare ?
No. I mean yes ! But it makes me… it keeps me sharp, it’s my great passion actually. And I think it’s the greatest challenge for an actor, and the greatest reward because what you have to do is you have to… learn the words and adjust them and absorb them so you know them inside-out and because the words are so wise, I always feel like I’m more opened, I’m a more compassionate person for the doing of it. It’s sort of like… I just feel a bit more alive when I’m doing Shakespeare. It’s hard to put your finger on it but it’s very, very fulfilling.

Tom Hiddleston recording Shakespeare...Act I
Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare (1564-1616) Read by Tom Hiddleston Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no! it is an ever-fixèd mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken. Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out ev'n to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Dwayne Johnson flexes his arm, breaks open his cast and then says, ‘Daddy has to go to work’ – if you don’t love that, I don’t know how I can appreciate you as a human being.
You still have been scratching away though, Kit.
Tom Hiddleston talking about which Shakespeare character he’d like to play for the rest of his life. “Juliet” “Will you be my Romeo?”
FUCK eachother
