When he mentioned "my kids", my heart melted. I hope whoever this lucky lady is, she will cherish this adorable Hiddles, he is one in a million guy 😊
🤗
hello, im a woman. i was immediately about to say the exact same thing when i clicked the comment and youre the first to pop up.
Yeah he would be a great father
FINAALLLYYUUYY
This aged well 🥹❤️
Sometimes young people can get impressed by literally anyone who can memorize half of a poem , and they go droll over a douche saying "he is sooo smart...". In this case I think Mr Hiddleston is genuinely smart and insightful, every single time I watch an interview he has something interesting to say. And he sounds so sincere, when he gives advise.
I think Tom Hiddleston is more inspiring than insightful
They had us in the first half
He is such a poet. It's beautiful.
'a poet' - ha, get a fucking grip
He is isn’t he :)
"I cant wait to show my kids" he will be a great dad. Please adopt me.
I’m sure many women would want the honour of producing his offspring. 😊❤️
Arabella 🤣
Seriously he is one of the best actors out there. He looks genuine and believable when he plays any character and on interviews he also looks like a genuine kind human being. I think we need more people like him in this world.
Am I the only one who had an awww moment at 3:43
eli soledad NO BECAUSE I HAD AN AWWW MOMENT TOO! *HE IS SO FREAKING CHARMING OH MY LORD*
He's like my Prince Charming and I'm literally Cinderella but with out the whole getting married thing just a lonely girl who is basically a maid😔 sad life
eli soledad WAILS I KNOW
And his smile is just so genuine that I was grinning like an idiot back at him through the screen
I cried
He is just ridiculously charming.
When he said kids, I imagined him sitting by the fireplace in a large, overstuffed arm chair, one child at his feet, another on his lap. He would be reading The Jungle Book to his children, or maybe Dr, Seuss. His wife would walk in from the kitchen and snuggle next to him on the arm of the chair, one arm around his shoulders. As the kids would start to yawn he would finish reading and take his children up to their rooms. He would tuck them in nice and tight, and exit the room holding his wife's hand as she turned out the lights. Back to the sitting room would they go, where they sit in front of their TV, and pop in a movie. They would snuggle down together and fall asleep in each others arms. As the dawn breaks he would stifle a yawn and wake with blurry vision, sensing that his wife was up already. It would be 8:20, sleeping late for the tired parent. His blonde curls would be sticking in all directions and he got up and walked to the kitchen. There she would be, his beautiful wife sitting at the table, orange juice in one hand, the morning paper in the other. A nice pot of fresh coffee would be sitting on the countertop, next to a large mug that read 'best daddy ever' in toddler writing. Pouring a cup, he would kiss his wife on the top of her head before sitting down next to her. Soon the children would rumble down the stairs where they would beg for cookies for breakfast and for crayons and paper. Tom would sit there staring at his two children, a smile creeping along his face as he realized "I have everything I could ever ask for. The best job, wife, and children. I have the best life" is what he would think as the first happy screams came from the playroom.
Your writing's great! :)
oh thanks sweetheart. that was just a really random thing i did. i just finished an 11 page, handwritten destiel fic but its nowhere close to this. thank you though so much!
Have you got a tumblr page with your writing, or a blog or something?
OMG! You made me cry...what a nice picture... I wish him all this .. he deserves it ,he seems the sweetest man on earth and , in my wildest dreams ... I would like to be that lucky lucky woman ....
Laila Martins No I haven't, but I do believe I will create another account for my writing. I will let you know when I get it up.
"one day I can't wait to show my kids" about the jungle book, well now he's gonna be a dad, congrats to them.
He's always so full of passion and sincerity when he speaks of what he truly loves. He's so happy. Like genuinely happy. You can see it in not only his smile but his eyes. I know that sounds cheesy but seriously, I love seeing a good sincere look of happiness on people's faces.
Ive never said this about anyone before but Tom Fucking Hiddleston is perfect!
"All the advice I can think of is much better than any advice I could give. It's Shakespeare's "to thine own self be true." The more authentic and honest you are in your interaction with the world, both professionally and personally, the better you will be placed to do the kind of work which will touch others and move their hearts and minds because if you mean it, the chances are it's gonna mean something to somebody else." beautiful advice
I am in love with this man, seriously! He is sweet, funny, intelligent, and profound. The thing that strikes me the most about him is his eyes, they are so full of light! I wish I could just transport myself to wherever he is at this moment!
I BEEN WAITING TO COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO WHEN HE'S EXPECTING KIDS 😌 how times have changed and how i hope him and zawe are exceedingly happy together 🌞
Tom Hiddleston is such a great man. Seriously, I think that he's very acculturated, and everyone should learn from him. He's the right person to take inspiration for a good life and a pure mind.
there are two types of people that quotes from poems and books when being interviwed: the first type is the show off one that memorize it just to use it on an interview and so that people would say he is smart. the second type is the one that is passionate about learning and reading and like to use what he has learnt to support his arguments and make what he's said more valid. that's Tom the honest the smart and the passionate one
that is also what a sound education and university level education teaches you if you are willing to learn
amazing!..in every possible way this man is amazing.He has such sound and sage advice which can apply to anyone and everyone,not just aspiring actors/actresses.In addition I love the way,in interviews,he takes the time to really process what he wants to say so that it is meaningful; and doesnt spew out word vomit like most of the actors today,who are so enthralled by their own fame that they love to hear the sound of their own voice even when they are saying garbage.You can tell that he loves what he does,because he pours everything he has into the characters he portrays.I may never meet you in person Mr. Hiddleston,but I just want to say you have profoundly changed me and my outlook on life.I love to write but I have been putting my passion on the backburner because I havent been honest with myself on what truly gives me joy in this world.I now have renewed motivation,and I will at some point definitely base one of my fictional characters on you.
They will never write a role truly worthy of Tom's talent.
What a perfect human. Wow.
He's so prefect that its gotten to a point where I don't think he's even human.
GaaraRules0 must be a god then ;)
AJ Cadavedo Must be
do men like this exist? or is he the only one?
I'm pretty sure he's not a man, but a god. No man can be this perfect.
Noelle 😃
Ludrixy Wal pretty sure he’s it: the only one of whatever unusual species that birthed him, as an experiment to test just how much charm, intellect, talent, good looks, and awesomely sweet soul would be possible in one personage: Rara Avis.
Lmao ikr. Can god get his act together and make more-
Speaking as a friend of an equally famous actor, who introduced me to him at an awards party, what you see in interviews is merely good acting!
As in real life he was the rudest, most arrogant snob i've ever had the misfortune of crossing paths with, and my good friend agrees.
Tom is so eloquent when he speaks. Its a shame I've never been blessed with the opportunity to meet him :(
I completly passed out when he mentioned having his children ♥ I wonder who the luckt woman is going to be? I know it won't be me tho:/
and who were they 9 losers that disliked this?? how dare!
I'm Italian and the fact that an Italian movie inspired him makes me so proud I almost cry.
I love how graceful, thoughtful, and insightful he is. It is reflected from his gesture and also the way he talk. :)
when he says "I can't wait to show my kids", I cry!! seriously, the way he say it and the way he smiles at the same time, omg Tom.. You're gonna be a great dad, I know
And I his wife. 😊
Just wow!He is so smart and honest.
My poor heart can't handle this
He's so amazing and nice! Regardless of who he has kids with, I hope he has them. He seems like he'd make a great dad and treasure every moment with them. Though I suspect the kids will be sick of Jungle Book by the age of 10...
I'm happy that he mentioned Nanni Moretti's film La stanza del figlio ( The son's room). I'm Italian and appreciate that he has liked that film .. As a mum I couldn't see it till the end because it's about the worst nightmare of any parent : the loss of a child....so terrible....but a really good film...
anyway I like this man more and more....so charming , so educated , so talented, so nice and sweet ... oh why I'm not younger and actress and English and ... stop , sigh..... :-(
foreveryoung

His answer to the most asked question to entertainers (advice to newcomers) is the best, most unique, most thoughtful, most authentic answer I've ever heard. It actually made me tear up for a second when he said the more honest you are, the more people will be touched; if you mean it, it'll mean something to somebody else. What a great, genuine answer.
He seriously is an incredible person, I adore him so much
its always such a pleasure to hear Tom speak. If he wasn't an actor I'd say he would make a magnificent professor.
This interview was short but lovely; very insightful & touching. Tom's passion for film and theater really shines through.(his little comment about showing the film to his kids was adorable. Those kids will be very lucky to have a father like him). I'd love to just pick his brain sometime! I could talk about film and television for hours & all my friends make fun of me for it
He will someday be an AMAZING father.
I am just crying because he already is so perfect
The way Tom talks about the things he is passionate for really warms my heart :) It is quite unrare to see such a genuine honesty from people these days I really wish more people were open about their feelings and emotions and share more love. Also when he said that he loves Indiana Jones movie and that he watches them every time they came on tv i was like: could i just be his friend and have Indiana Jones marathon night and talk about the scenes and acting? I really love to talk about things i love as well but unfortunately never met somebody with the same interests, etc. I would love to just passionately talk for hours.
Well, me and Tom have something in common. I flipped when my friend said she hadn't seen the jungle book, I made her watch it. My favorite character is Baloo. I love his song 'bear necessities'.It's one of my favorite Disney mottos. (Can't spell)
We need more people like this in the world. People with the same wisdom and ideas like Tom here.
Fantastic advice at the end, for actors and for every profession, and personally as he said. Very wise and authentic fella.
3:42 that's the cutest!
He is such an amazing actor! I saw his Henry V and he inspired me to learn Shakespeare's level of english :))) it is soooo beautiful! I am a native russian speaker and also speak hebrew english and spanish, but he inspired me to learn a higher english!
Hey! I can use the comment box for note taking for self. “Give yourself permission to want to do it as much you think you always had. If you mean it, chances are it’s going to mean something to somebody else.” so good!
I love the part as Tom Hiddleston talk about his love to the #DisneyMovie #TheJungleBook As Tom said: "One day I can't wait to show it my kids" I smiled and said to myself: "Yesss he really need to be a daddy in the near future" He's a precious treasure ❤ I cross my fingers that he'll soon fell in love with a beautiful women who really deserve his wonderful soul 💑👨👩👧🤗 Great vid TY for sharing 🤗😘
This is something I've been struggling with as of late, being genuine. I'm often conflicted between two or more courses of action, and I'm even more often unsure which one "is really me". Which one is right? I feel I dramatize things unnecessarily just to play on and see how it feels; and it is this exaggeration that makes me feel more fake. It is like I am trying to force my personality into something more socially recognizable or "what people do" kind of behavior. I've been becoming more bitter recently, and letting myself fall to negative emotions more often to "test"" how it feels. But I don't want to be like that. I miss wanting to be me. Being friendly, non-judgmental, loving, and overly polite to everyone, but I stopped that. Why did I stop? I can be a light in someone's life, just like Tom has such a light in him. I can be genuine, I can be patient, and I can be mindful. I don't have to be fake. Thank you, Tom. I've been needing to hear that for a while. I hope your life is as beautiful as you are, inside and out.
I can relate
Idk why but I started crying because he’s so just. I can’t even think of a word
Talented, handsome, kind, smart and genuine. That’s perfection everyone!
I don't know why he always surprises me. He is just such a kind, considerate, thoughtful - just basically awesome person! When I really think about some of things he has said, I tend to stop and question my own life. That's a good thing.
He is such a sincere, passionate man and it shines thru in this interview and many others. He is so humble and genuine, never thinking he's anything much. He has inspired many a fan with his positive attitude, wonderful quotes, kindness, and sweetness. That is why he is beloved by his fans and colleagues alike. He is very intelligent but certainly not a showoff. He is a beautiful man inside and out and that is why I adore him!
When he was explaining his advice about starting out actors/actresses, I realized what he explained was what I have been doing, without knowing that I had. Hearing that from my hero is truly inspiring and heart-warming. It tells me that my hard work has not been put to waste. Thank you Tom. ♥
Jesus Christ, that vocabulary of his is just lovely. And to top that off, he's so sincere and humble!
When he said kids, he feel like same was little Loki and Thor of Asgard again. XD
Okay so fangirling aside...this man. THIS MAN. I just. I've known of him for quite some time and just brushed him aside. It wasn't until I got bored and began to actually LISTEN to his interviews that...I JUST CAN'T. He gives me hope for the maturity of humanity, honestly. An actor and a humanist. That's what he is. He's on my list of highly influential people. So honest. So real. No BS detected. (and my BS meter is very good im just saying)
I don't know him in real life, but the way he acts and the image he has portrayed to his fans makes me believe that he is the closest thing to a flawless human being in this world.
Chloe 😃🙌
Suddenly have the urge to say I haven't seen The Jungle Book. . .LOL!
Parton me, is Jungle Book about young Tarzan? I am non-western and by the look of what I searched from the internet, it is about a kid with a bunch of animals.
@@kialim6991 I'm so so so late to answer this but the jungle book is about an Indian boy who was lost in the jungles when he was a baby. He was raised by the wolves. He was called Mowgli.
On second thoughts, you probably know all of this because of the movie that came out in 2016.
This video, however short in duration, was absolutely breath-taking. Tom Hiddleston is not only a phenomenal actor but a true intellectual. I can only hope to find a man that shares his likeness in knowledge, honesty, brilliance and stunning features.
That smile when he talks about his kids....holy hell
That last piece of advice on authenticity and being honest ALL THE TIME is GOLD. I think any actor or person should implement this.
such a beautiful interview. what he was saying in the last part. just made me realise that there is no other actor alive at the present moment who is more of a lovely human being. he's a brilliant actor, but just a lovely compassionate human..as well as being pretty damn fine in the looks department of course ;)
he's so smart Tom hiddleston I love how he can memorise a poem and quote from mind it's impressive I love his stories he tells in interviews the things he says they sorta stay with you for a lifetime I love him such an incredible actor he gives good advice to people who wanna start of acting I love how he mentioned Indiana Jones as a favourite I love the movies to he's mega amazing :) I don't think anyone can live without him
Charming, polite, compassionate and as you mentioned 'awesome intellectually and physically'...It's hard to find even two of those qualities nowadays...so of course we lot think he's perfect :)
Yeah, i get what you're saying. Saying he's perfect is quite unrealistic. I think he's amazing. I don't really view anyone as perfect cause it's really not possible especially when you don't actually know the person personally, but I see where he comes really close. He's more than just smart and beautiful, he's also funny and humble and his personality and heart is amazing and he himself as a man is inspiring in the things he does and that's what most fans or well... what I love about him.
He really is so sweet! And i love the way he speaks :)
so human, touches others and move their hearts and minds.. special human
He talks about kids 🥺🥺, I love him 😍
He should gather his army of fangirls in a stadium and watch The Jungle Book...that would be amazing. XD
But who would sit next to him? I think this could become a war... xD
And then world war III breaks out :p
world war Tom Hiddleston! :O
And the winner gets a place next to him XD
Fuck yeah i Would fly to the uk
Just for that
There wouldn't be a stadium big enough 😂
he's so amazing i love the way he says things. i love him
Drooling ... again. God I love this man!
You guys! Fantasising about Tom’s future kids. I’m in love 😻
I agree with him and he is very wise...
but I would love to discuss about it with him, because I think slightly different.
Tom Hiddleston is one of the people, that I would love to discuss with. He is so wise and has got such inspiring thoughts.
Wow 👏
It's so touching and so real. He's just a fairy tail. Men like him are rare like one in a billion. A pure soul to be protected at all cost.
He's so pleasant to listen to!
I love when he says Nanni Moretti. I just love his accent. A great interview again Tom :)
Tom likes the Indiana Jones trilogy....I wonder how Harrison Ford feels about Tom's characters?
He is so smart and genuine, I love him ❤ lol is it weird? I'm 19 and I find him attractive some one in the same boat as me ? Lol I feel all akward but I LOVE HIM lol
You are not alon, I assure you.
I’m 20 and I’ve had a HUGE crush on him for YEARS!
The Jungle book, the very first film I remember seeing with my dad. And I remember it because my dad has never been a man interested in cinema or television it was always about music for him, but he bought this movie with the only purpose of sitting down with her girls and watch a movie...so very cute.
He makes me cry
my gosh!!! what a beautiful man.......total perfection (:
his smile when he says " i cant wait to show my kids" i want to cry
Mr. Hiddleston!
Thank you for sharing your experiences,
and scooped up with the advice!
Honesty is heart warming.
Honesty can really make someone feel happy. However! It's not like I would run into someone that awesome often.
Someone who has what it takes to give me the lightening struck,
and that love in me suddenly floating and glows within every smile on my face!
Fill me up with the inspiration to write,
or stir up my mind with full imagination to dream about the things, that I shouldn't be
dreaming of...!
A lot of times, I would take a trip around town to feel the people's movements around. To observe the atmosphere, to feel the silence, to feel the emptiness, to appreciate the lonesome soul of one's life.
I use that as my sources to write.
Now, can you see how I can be so crazy in love with someone, that I love?
Yup. Without seeing him, cause I think of him in every moment of the songs.
I don't use much about my personal life,
but a few happy songs.
Yeah. Excitingly inlove!
However! After today, I'm going to take it from you and apply more of the actual dramas of my life.
Thx. Good day, sir!
🤒
the jungle book is amazing his advice too ,this man is wonderful
I love his voice so much...
Wow... the advice bit at the end left me speechless.
I want to sit down and watch The Jungle Book with Tom!!!!
This man is a delight
He seems like such a nice guy to be around! 😊
I have not seen the jungle book and now I will wait until Tom finds out and sits me down to watch it with him. ;-)
That's a big weeping angel in the background...
Perfect answers. He's so wonderful.
I just watched La Stanza del Figlio. The Italian film he mentioned in this interview. I can't put my emotions into words.
Aww when he mentioned "his kids" ah I love him! :)
I love Indiana Jones too! Also no matter what question he gets asked he always answers it perfectly.
Tom speaks in such a magical way
He's just perfect
OMG... Why the hell is his voice so good 😍😍
When he talks about "The Jungle Book"...I just can't, he's so lovely and adorable...to sum it up - PERFECT.
Damn, I thought he just LOOKED gorgeous, but he is also genuinely nice and has great depth. Too damn PERFECT, sigh.
To have someone have faith in you the way this woman did is so huge. It doesn't happen every day but you can make me believe in you with good craft. At least that's what I believe.
Gentle caring beaitiful Soul i am trully inspired 👋
Great interview. He's Amazing.
You my favourite hero Tom Hiddleston
This man is such a great human being...
How can anyone be THAT perfect :3
I really love you Tom
