I don't think you ever posted it. But coincidentally, I did him this go around.
I seem to remember thinking at the time 'no, I can't post about Benedict again, it's getting creepy'. As you can see, I have no such qualms about Tom. :p
Heehee! I imagine TH apologized multiple times during the phone call for not being able to understand.
They start talking about it around 16:30 here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ4R_H_QtqM).
This does not surprise me at all but TH is so damn articulate. It's extra impressive to me because he's articulate without sounding pretentious. He's so affable and his economy of words is just about perfect.
I was going to do Hiddleston this go around but I realized I haven't seen that much of his work.

I literally put him on in the background because I love to hear him talk. He's so well-spoken, and so joyful, and so geeky and passionate, I just feel better when I'm done. Even when people try to start on a negative topic with him, he turns it right around. He's so at ease with himself, and ironically unapologetic about it. His Nerd HQ is really great, and he's done a lot of long interviews where he really gets a chance to be thorough in his answers. /embarrassing gush

I was just thinking on doing this meme for him and trying to remember what I've seen him in. Thor and the Avengers, Midnight in Paris, Deep Blue Sea, Cranford, Miss Austen Regrets, one episode of Wallander, and The Pirate Fairy. But his body of work isn't as extensive as Benedict's; he's a bit younger and seemed to stay on the stage for longer before he went into films and stuff.

I remember when I first heard him being interviewed after Thor first opened and I was pleasantly surprised by how well-spoken he was and lacked any affectation which is so rare. When I saw he went to Cambridge and got a double first, I was not at all surprised. In fact, the world made more sense.

Yeah, unaffected is totally it. If he's not genuine, he's fucking good at faking it. Mr and Mrs Hiddleston raised a very nice boy.
Randomly, listening to him talk about his passions and what he used to do as a kid, with using different voices and recording his own radio show and stuff, made me realize I wasn't and am not as weird as I thought I was. I've been noticing that lately when I listen to interviews with writers and actors. All my life I've thought I was completely alone in my weirdness, and it turns out that I was just isolated in it. It's been quite comforting to find out that being geeky about Shakespeare and history, and really liking foreign languages, and singing and dancing all the time, aren't as weird as I thought. Or at least stand me in good company.
If he's not genuine, he's fucking good at faking it.
If he's faking on this level then he'd have to be a sociopath because that would be some scary-levels of convincing.

As much as people might bitch about the Internet, I do think creating a sense of connectedness is something the Internet has helped where you realize there are others out there with your sensibilities. Like writing fanfic for instance. I thought I was the only soul who did this when I was younger and then realized fanfic made up 50% of the Internet.
