Tom Hiddleston has become the standard by which all men are measured. This comes as no surprise as he is a charming young man with supreme intelligence, phenomenal talent, impeccable taste, and dashing good looks. He is also a perfect gentleman and a romantic at heart, who can quote Shakespeare at the drop of a hat and sing like an old-school crooner. His staggering presence commands attention, but his humility and sense of humor make him amiable.

“I’m an actor because I believe in the power of cinema to bring people together. I get disheartened when things are interpreted along divisive lines. That’s not the business I’m in. I’m not saying I’m some kind of unifying force – I just like being a part of it. That might just be the most sincere thing I’ve said today.”
