I was sucked into the YouTube rabbit hole, and I have to say that Tom Hiddleston has to be one of the most fascinating interview subjects to whom I’ve ever listened.

pinchtheprincess:

I watched several long-form interviews, mostly from April 2016. There was the SAG-AFTRA interview when The Night Manager was about to come out in the U.S., and I’ve just finished up the BAFTA interview by Jon Neumaier. 

He has to be an interviewer’s dream! He can talk for a long time without coming up short of material, ever.

He never gives terse answers. And it’s NEVER BORING*, whether it’s anecdotes about costars or former directors (or accolades for or from the same), discussing his acting craft, or talking about studying/homework for a role, or bits of his history from his early days of auditions and roles. This was a fun rabbit hole for a Sunday evening with nothing going on but a howling snowstorm outside.  

*Of course, listening to that deep, mellow, soothing baritone voice doesn’t hurt. At all.
