Tom Hiddleston’s Ass Will Be All Over Screens This Fall

Tom Hiddleston kinda has the best of both worlds. He gets to enjoy all of the acclaim and fame that come from his scene stealing turns as Loki in the Marvel films, while also being largely unknown by the general population. That may all change this Fall when Tom, and his ass, appear in at least three different films being released between now and the end of the year. 

Our beloved Hiddles spoke with Vulture (link below) following the premieres of both his Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light and J.G. Ballard's High-Rise at the Toronto International Film Festival, dishing about his nudity in the films, as well as in Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak. High-Rise director Ben Wheatley apparently made an off-hand comment equating an audience's enjoyment of his film with their enjoyment of orgies.

What’s yours?

What’s my stance on orgies? Listen, if it floats your boat, who am I to stand in judgment? I’ve never been in any real-life context like some of those. I think [author J.G.] Ballard was always, particularly with High-Rise, fascinated by extremity, and what happens to human beings in the most physically and psychologically extreme situations — that actually the mask of civilization is a thin veneer. We’re only one sort of neighborly argument away from all-out chaos and murder, and descent of sort of going back to the jungle. I really think he was just quite rigorous about always taking it to its end point. He never stopped at the boundaries of good taste.

Right, so dodged that one. Now how about his ass?

Between High-Rise, I Saw the Light, and the Crimson Peaktrailer, I’ve seen your butt three times in the last couple of days.

Wow. I apologize unreservedly.

Do you have any qualms about doing nudity?

I don’t, particularly. If it’s justified in the storytelling, I absolutely have no problem with it. That’s sort of my condition, if I can see where it fits into the story. In fact, in Crimson Peak, I really pitched for that scene because it’s about the twin energies of sexuality and violence, these polar opposites. Gothic romance is actually all about sex and death, and there’s always an undertone, whether it’s Northanger Abbey or Jane Eyre or The Castle of Otranto. The proximity of death and our fear of it, but also the fact that we’re impelled by our sexuality towards things and towards choices and people is actually what gothic romance is about. Guillermo and Mia and myself all agreed that that sex scene had to be quite powerfully realized.

So there you have it folks. Tom Hiddleston and his ass are coming to a theater near you pretty much every month between now and the end of the year with Crimson Peak due on October 16, I Saw the Light on November 27, and High-Rise likely to get an awards qualifying run by the end of the year.
