I kind of prefer that to a load of sanctimonious bollocks though. Found the AH & JS interview unbearably cringey with them just interjecting to compliment the other
Did Tom learn Literature as his major? The way he speaks is captivating. It flows so smooth, complicated yet simple chain of words which if you get distracted, you lose what he is speaking. Also with the soothing voice, I could just fall asleep.
Tom Hiddleston-a Cambridge-educated, classically RADA-trained, Golden Globe and Olivier winning Broadway actor-is one of the greatest actors of this generation tbh. His acting is so transformative, shakespearean, evocative, and passionate; his characters convey so much with even just their eyebrows lol. Loki became more popular than all the avengers for a reason. He deserves all the praise.
I love Lily but her moaning and “hmmming” all through this is annoying. And Tom is incredible but looking at the clips of the movie in Essex, I have to wonder about the 3 day unshaven look. Would that have been acceptable in the time and place? That’s really a more modern look isn’t it? (Which I hate BTW.)
I will NEVER lose interest in Tom Hiddleston's Loki. He could play that character forever and I would always be interested. He's seriously created and grown that character.
Who ever said that being attractive doesn't preclude being intelligent defenetly was talking about *Tom Hiddleston* This man is a full package! Definition of perfection
As a bisexual woman who's had a massive crush on both Tom and Lily for years (I've been begging the universe to put them in a movie together), you have just made my day!
literally omg 😭😭 also the fact that loki is now recognized in the mcu as bi makes this comment even better, he’s not only hot but also an lgbtq icon :’)
The concept is SOO MUCH more captivating than the truly boring questions and answers we often get from most interviews. There's nothing better than a good conversation.
Not gonna lie I thought it was a joke at first but the she kept doing it and I cannot explain the frustration. I absolutely love her but that was so freaking annoying I can’t 😭😭😭
I think it was a way to show respect that she was listening because sometimes, it is a bit awkward when someone talks and you just look at them the entire time 😭 maybe she does it often normally but she has a mic really close to her so she probably didn't realise that she can be heard
Ikr. Glad she is being recognized for the first time now for her incredible work. She was amazing in Darkest Hour, War and Peace,Mamma Mia2, Yesterday etc yet she is so underrated
Is this a good bananas or rotten bananas? Because I want to give it a thumbs down, she ruins it but I don't want to be disrespectful to Tom because he does deserve a thumbs up. This is not porn stop with the mmmmmmmm's unless this is for the male audience, so I guess carry on.
20 minutes only?? I could listen to them for hours!! I love their connection so genuine and endearing..looove these two so much I have been dying for them to work together for yearsss!
This was a wonderful, captivating conversation. I've adored Tom for over a decade, and Lily is one of my favorite actresses. I loved seeing these two incredible actors together. How beautiful
Lily's break came when she played Cinderella 7 years ago. Then, it skyrocketed playing Deborah in Baby Driver, Young Donna in Mamma Mia 2, and Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy
I always get excited when Tom is included in these conversations. As a fan, I am very proud of all the recognition he has, a talented person who deserves this and more. Thank you Variety for this gift.
Both English national treasures, both known for being so innocently humble and likable and have infectious smiles. What a pair! Wish this was longer, their first conversation together and their chemistry was so fluid. Great interview! 👏
I wonder if the filmed conversation is longer and what we get on TH-cam is a significantly edited version. It feel like the conversation doesn't end naturally.
I honestly think Tom deserves better, he's such a great and actually an underrated actor outside marvel, he also is really impressive on how he speaks and express himslef i would love to see him working again with Cumberbatch outside the mcu, also Lily was really stunning as Pam and i love her on mamma mia she was perfect in that movie ❤️
I watch these pairing interviews so much I done turned it into a drinking game, shots every time you hear "Hmmmmm....mhm mhm-mhmm.... Mmmm....Mm-mmm-mmm"
This has been my favourite Actors on Actors this year. Tom and Lily are phenomenal and talented people. I quite enjoyed their conversation and how personable they are. Lily has had such a great career, from Lady Rose, Cinderella, all the way to Pam. Just brilliant! And Tom, what flattering thing hasn't been said abiut him!
I believe it was Emma Thompson who said that that is part of how Kenneth Branagh rolls: promoting promising young actors. After the life experience he's had, I'm not surprised at his ability to pick out great talent.
I love them both talking about breaking through the mask of their characters. And I definitely noticed Loki’s more natural look in the series, which really worked for his arc in the story.
Speaking of his more ‘natural look,’ apparently Tom went on runs after having the makeup put on him to make it look more ‘natural.’ I must admit, some of the camera angles and lighting weren’t so flattering on him.
He read Dracula, High Rise and Winnie the Pooh. He’s also narrated Apple TV+ documentaries, Earth at Night in Colour in 4K and Big Beasts. He’s also done a few podcasts on TH-cam.
I don't usually watch these videos until the end but there's something so alluring about these two having a conversation surrounding fame, career and religion. Honestly I could listen to them forever.
Lily's 'mmm's' are pretty annoying but she's so beautiful and such a good actress that I can forgive her :p and Tom hiddleston is just so lovely 😍 He should do all the audiobooks :)
*I saw the light* itself wasn't flawless but Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of *Hank Williams* is just masterpiece! I couldn't believe a British actor can do such a thing! It was amazing As a Hank William's fan I can say I love his voice defenetly more but Hiddleston did an amazing job too. He is so talented and has a very good voice
i always love seeing british actors play southern characters. as a southerner, it makes me giggle but i’m also in awe ! no matter who you are, if you’re good at accents i’ll admire you
I'm not one to blow smoke, but Hiddleston is a very special actor in his generation. I don't have the words to express my adoration. How he manages to maintain a grasp on humility with all the praise and pomp is beyond me. Thank goodness he still has not lost his humaneness.
These are some of my favorite interviews - the kind between actors, directors, writers, etc. - especially when both people are actually fans of the other's work. They're much more interesting and in depth than the "regular" press interviews that typically have scripted responses
I'm loving these pairing. I really enjoyed this conversation. This stuff really gives u an intake on the process of filming and acting and how difficult and deep it is.
I really enjoyed I Saw the Light, I’m glad it avoided a lot of the usual biopic cliches. Tom did a great job; he brought a real empathy to the character, and a lovely poignancy to songs like I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.
Haven’t watched the Pam & Tommy story… so wow on the accent Lily! She did the Vancouver/ Canadian accent quite well… and with unique voice. Love Tom H, and Lily!
you know you have a high level of enxiety when you watch these videos and just keep think how would be so estressful and overwhelming being in such high level company. It's so intense in my head imagening being in their places and maybe it's only me but this is how I feel. I love watching actors and movies becuse genuilly they portrait and live what i could do or not do if i had more courage and less fear in social enviroments.
Oh my!! Honestly, we feel spoilt with these interview uploads. Its Soo refreshing to watch them after the COVID lockdown, quite educational and informative. Keep it up and give the person responsible for the pairings a raise!!
Whoever is coming up with these pairings need a raise! How wonderful to see these two together.
SPEAK! Variety is serving! Everyday this week, a new surprise!
IKR
I agree lol
Couldn't agree more
Omg yes! They are doing AMAZING with these duos
I could listen to Tom all day. He’s so intelligent, yet so humble. He’ll always be my favorite actor. Thank you Variety for having him back.
I love Tom so much!
@@luluognam
(Probably) Favourite/(Best.?) Film of His is High-Rise.
Very, Very Underrated (imho)
@@drumbum3.142 ooh I need to watch it !!
He's very smart but he could have listened to her more. It was a bit one sided.
@@GwaiZai no
Tom: * long and detailed explanation regarding the question *
Lily: *mmmmmmmmmmmmmm*
it’s really bothering me 😭
I watched this and my dad was in the room and I said to him that is very annoying.
that bothered me a lot
I kind of prefer that to a load of sanctimonious bollocks though. Found the AH & JS interview unbearably cringey with them just interjecting to compliment the other
@@Platformcamb0621 who is AH and JS. Besides, most people nod, or smile, or say "mhmm's" a lot less while in a conversation.
Did Tom learn Literature as his major? The way he speaks is captivating. It flows so smooth, complicated yet simple chain of words which if you get distracted, you lose what he is speaking. Also with the soothing voice, I could just fall asleep.
He graduated from Cambridge in Latin and Greek
He studied classics.
He should play more period pieces roles.
He talks a bit of some languages and has a license in Greek and Latin from seton College and the school of drama of London
He is INFP
I love how even after playing Loki for such a long time, Tom is still very enthusiastic in talking about him and his who he is as a character
The. man literally sat all the cast and crew and had a 6 hr lexture on Loki lol
Tom Hiddleston-a Cambridge-educated, classically RADA-trained, Golden Globe and Olivier winning Broadway actor-is one of the greatest actors of this generation tbh. His acting is so transformative, shakespearean, evocative, and passionate; his characters convey so much with even just their eyebrows lol. Loki became more popular than all the avengers for a reason. He deserves all the praise.
Loki is Tom. Everyone fall in love with Loki because of him. Loki was so evil in norse mythology but Tom created a new Loki. A very interesting one.
What?
but has a bit of an ego as well
Love him,& also he can dance with amazing moves!❤
He also got nominated for a Tony Award in 2019 and 2 prime time Emmys in 2016
The physical and spiritual beauty that Lily James radiates in this interview is something to behold. Also, Hiddleston is a truly underrated actor.
Underated? Have you not seen his work with marvel? Everybody knows him and many love him
especially for those of us who don't watch marvel--but I finished Essex Serpent and loved him in it
He's not that underrated, but I wish people would watch his other work besides Loki because he's fantastic
She would have been a better partner for him
I love Lily but her moaning and “hmmming” all through this is annoying. And Tom is incredible but looking at the clips of the movie in Essex, I have to wonder about the 3 day unshaven look. Would that have been acceptable in the time and place? That’s really a more modern look isn’t it? (Which I hate BTW.)
I will NEVER lose interest in Tom Hiddleston's Loki. He could play that character forever and I would always be interested. He's seriously created and grown that character.
I can literally listen to Tom Hiddleston talk for days straight, I don't even care what he says - it's just the way he speak is soo relaxing.
He could make anything sound deep, soothing and meaningful!
Who ever said that being attractive doesn't preclude being intelligent defenetly was talking about *Tom Hiddleston*
This man is a full package! Definition of perfection
It doesn't happens so often indeed, Tom is an exception.
*yes sir*
Cate blanchett said that
@@jessg101 she said that too But people say such a thing a lot
As a bisexual woman who's had a massive crush on both Tom and Lily for years (I've been begging the universe to put them in a movie together), you have just made my day!
What's your take on Rooney Mara & Tom playing siblings?
@@tishafay Rooney doesn't do it for me... Now Tom with Lily, Florence Pugh, Emilia Clarke or Jodie Comer... YAS!
@@tishafay ik u didn’t ask me this but based on physical appearances alone, that’s a good match !!
literally omg 😭😭 also the fact that loki is now recognized in the mcu as bi makes this comment even better, he’s not only hot but also an lgbtq icon :’)
Amazing. Hats off to the people who came up with Actors on Actors.
Is this thing new? Forgive me this is my first watching these stuff
@@chaudcarte this episode is new
@@chaudcarte Variety started the concept a few years ago.
The concept is SOO MUCH more captivating than the truly boring questions and answers we often get from most interviews.
There's nothing better than a good conversation.
HONESTLY, VARIETY IS BLOWING UP WITH THESE PAIRINGS
Lily James goes: mmmm😦mmm🤔 mm😮mmm🤔 every time when Tom speaks is EVERYTHING
Mmmnmmmmm😅
It's so distracting
Not gonna lie I thought it was a joke at first but the she kept doing it and I cannot explain the frustration. I absolutely love her but that was so freaking annoying I can’t 😭😭😭
Hahahahahaahahha mmmmmm mmmmm mmmm
I think it was a way to show respect that she was listening because sometimes, it is a bit awkward when someone talks and you just look at them the entire time 😭 maybe she does it often normally but she has a mic really close to her so she probably didn't realise that she can be heard
I ADORE this man and Lily deserves an Emmy nod for her portrayal of Pamela Anderson. I forgot she was acting. She was excellent.
💯 TRUE
came for tom hiddleston, stayed for lily james. what a human. her radiance is infectious.
Ikr. Glad she is being recognized for the first time now for her incredible work. She was amazing in Darkest Hour, War and Peace,Mamma Mia2, Yesterday etc yet she is so underrated
Lily James “mmmms” after every single thing he says is driving me bananas.
Yes same! Is there any way Variety can mute these!!! PLEASE!!! 😂
Is this a good bananas or rotten bananas? Because I want to give it a thumbs down, she ruins it but I don't want to be disrespectful to Tom because he does deserve a thumbs up. This is not porn stop with the mmmmmmmm's unless this is for the male audience, so I guess carry on.
she's just trying to rub one out discreetly to Mr.Hiddleston, its understandable.
Omg 4 min in and I have to just stop…. Wow it’s annoying 😆
Then you should definitely avoid speaking to Japanese people. It's in their blood to ummmm and uhummm to every word you say.
Tom has such a calming voice and speaks so eloquently. I could listen to him all day 😊
20 minutes only?? I could listen to them for hours!! I love their connection so genuine and endearing..looove these two so much I have been dying for them to work together for yearsss!
Lily James is an icon, a legend and she is the moment. I’ve loved her as Lady Rose in ‘Downton Abbey’ and Ella in ‘Cinderella’.
yes shes also someone who sleeps around with married men.
You really are EVERYWHERE!! 😊
@@fandomnewbie I know right?!
agree, she is excellent
MMMMM
I adore Tom Hiddleston. Period.
This was a wonderful, captivating conversation. I've adored Tom for over a decade, and Lily is one of my favorite actresses. I loved seeing these two incredible actors together. How beautiful
Lily's break came when she played Cinderella 7 years ago. Then, it skyrocketed playing Deborah in Baby Driver, Young Donna in Mamma Mia 2, and Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy
Actually her break was downtown abbey because that's how she ended up qith Cinderella
She needs to win The Emmy.
I always get excited when Tom is included in these conversations. As a fan, I am very proud of all the recognition he has, a talented person who deserves this and more. Thank you Variety for this gift.
Both English national treasures, both known for being so innocently humble and likable and have infectious smiles. What a pair! Wish this was longer, their first conversation together and their chemistry was so fluid. Great interview! 👏
The way they both properly say "Sebastian Stan" in their accents, hahaha.
I honestly wouldn't mind these episodes being an hour long. They go by way too fast!
Me too. I want longer episodes
I've Posited That Verbatim Sentiment Myself on (more than) Multiple Occasions.
These Are... .. INCREDIBLE.🎨
Each and Every One,.
I wonder if the filmed conversation is longer and what we get on TH-cam is a significantly edited version. It feel like the conversation doesn't end naturally.
Most likely was but they cut a lot out
@@bookloverwholovestocook3669 I have the same feeling.
Lily James is so sweet & Tom is so gentle and cordial.
oh my god their duo is something i did not know i needed. all actors in this series are so great, legendery and ICONIC. such beautiful personalities
I honestly think Tom deserves better, he's such a great and actually an underrated actor outside marvel, he also is really impressive on how he speaks and express himslef i would love to see him working again with Cumberbatch outside the mcu, also Lily was really stunning as Pam and i love her on mamma mia she was perfect in that movie ❤️
My dream is for a movie with Tom, Benedict, and Eddie Redmayne.
watch War Horse, it has Ben and Tom as cavalry officers/soldiers :)
@@kontsakeisari I'v seen it. Watching Tom and Ben ride to their deaths, OMG!
@@kontsakeisari I love that movie, that's also why i would like to see them together again
Tom Hiddleston was born to play Shakespeare, on stage and in film. He finds meaning in the words you never knew could be there. 😊
and oh my god this conversation is so so beautiful. they are really listening and interacting. AND THEY ARE SO TALENTED I LOVE TOM ESPECIALLY SO MUCH
You guys need to have longer episodes! These two were great together and I could honestly listen to Tom Hiddleston all day.
Tom's voice is so soothing
Tom Hiddleston could talk about Math all day and I would fall asleep in his arms. That's the beauty of his voice and now talking to Lily James,love it
Tom Hiddleston is just so charming and beautiful OMG I CANNOT RIGHT NOW --
I watch these pairing interviews so much I done turned it into a drinking game, shots every time you hear "Hmmmmm....mhm mhm-mhmm.... Mmmm....Mm-mmm-mmm"
😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly 😐😂😂
Lol I was waiting for this comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, please make them stop lol
I'm loving these pairings this year!!
His voice!!! I could listen to him read a tech manual or a phone book...💖💖💖
Tom Hiddleston is very kind hearted man
This has been my favourite Actors on Actors this year. Tom and Lily are phenomenal and talented people. I quite enjoyed their conversation and how personable they are.
Lily has had such a great career, from Lady Rose, Cinderella, all the way to Pam. Just brilliant! And Tom, what flattering thing hasn't been said abiut him!
Lily and Tom are 2 of my FAVOURITE actors of all time I'm so glad to see them together! Someone cast them together people!!
Tom is so wise in how he speaks. He’s almost like telling a story. 🥰
Damnn this week Variety has been on a roll, these actors on actors interviews are so good
The way they were directed by Kenneth Branagh for their breakout roles. Lily with Cinderella and Tom as Loki in Thor :)))
I believe it was Emma Thompson who said that that is part of how Kenneth Branagh rolls: promoting promising young actors. After the life experience he's had, I'm not surprised at his ability to pick out great talent.
A film with Lily James and Tom Hiddleston is a must. It's a matter of chemistry.
I love them both talking about breaking through the mask of their characters. And I definitely noticed Loki’s more natural look in the series, which really worked for his arc in the story.
I found him looking older and non-Loki like in S2 apart from when he was wearing the black suit in S2E2 and S2E3 in the period clothing.
Speaking of his more ‘natural look,’ apparently Tom went on runs after having the makeup put on him to make it look more ‘natural.’ I must admit, some of the camera angles and lighting weren’t so flattering on him.
Has Tom ever lend his voice to be part pf an audiobook? Just hearing his voice is like eargasm!! I meaaaannn... 🥰🥰🥰
Several
He read the book high Rise, and he also played the main character in that movie
He read Dracula, High Rise and Winnie the Pooh. He’s also narrated Apple TV+ documentaries, Earth at Night in Colour in 4K and Big Beasts. He’s also done a few podcasts on TH-cam.
I don't usually watch these videos until the end but there's something so alluring about these two having a conversation surrounding fame, career and religion. Honestly I could listen to them forever.
Tom Hiddleston is such an eloquent and sophisticated man!
And I always get lost in his eyes
Someone should make a supercut of every time Lilly James goes "HMMM"
We love Tom Hiddleston. That’s just great!!!!
Lily's 'mmm's' are pretty annoying but she's so beautiful and such a good actress that I can forgive her :p and Tom hiddleston is just so lovely 😍 He should do all the audiobooks :)
Finally this comment
Was looking for this comment 😂
i was scrolling down the comments to find this one. Yes thank you
now that mentioned. really get the nerves, isn't it?
Is like a confortable cat
*I saw the light* itself wasn't flawless but Tom Hiddleston's portrayal of *Hank Williams* is just masterpiece! I couldn't believe a British actor can do such a thing! It was amazing
As a Hank William's fan I can say I love his voice defenetly more but Hiddleston did an amazing job too. He is so talented and has a very good voice

@@kaepiper U are so amazingly sophisticated😍
I'm not one to blow smoke, but Hiddleston is a very special actor in his generation. I don't have the words to express my adoration.
How he manages to maintain a grasp on humility with all the praise and pomp is beyond me.
Thank goodness he still has not lost his humaneness.
I don’t think he ever will. He seems too genuine, humble and real.
What lovely people. And they sound so calming. And they're passionate about their work, humbled by it and so careful and aware of things!
What a transformation for Lily. This pairings is so spot on.
Lily was so annoying going “hmm hmmm hmm” when Tom was asking his question I feel like she made him take longer to ask it 😂😂😂😂
Tom is so gorgeous and talented ❤ The man never ages
I just never seem to be able to wrap my head around how beautiful this man is.
It’s from the inside out isn’t it?!
These are some of my favorite interviews - the kind between actors, directors, writers, etc. - especially when both people are actually fans of the other's work. They're much more interesting and in depth than the "regular" press interviews that typically have scripted responses
He's soft spoken and very calm.
And I’ve seen him be very playful, chaotic and kooky as well! 😂
I'm loving these pairing. I really enjoyed this conversation. This stuff really gives u an intake on the process of filming and acting and how difficult and deep it is.
Was it just me or did anyone else notice the chemistry between these two? :)
I really enjoy watching/listening to Tom.
She looked taken to him lol!
they are both so charming. I could listen to them for hours
Holy SHIT Variety is feeding us with all this good content from these amazing actors. They know what the internet want.
it was hard listening to this with lily's 'mmmhmmm' every few seconds lol
🤣
I will spend my whole life loving Tom Hiddleston and Loki❤️"❤️"
Yeah! 😊
I like Lily James and Tom Hiddleston they are great actor and actress.😍
Brother Hiddleston always eloquent and cool & that sweet angel is good
I love the way non-US actors listen to the end then comment, instead of talking over the top of each other all the time. Perfect Brit manners!
Lily James absolutely crushed her role as Pamela Anderson.
They look phenomenal together. Somebody make a movie please and cast these two in the leading roles.
Lily's "mmmmm"s 😂😂😂
it pissed me off
Stoppppppp alllready
This is the best pairing I could ask for
lITERALLY SAME
I really enjoyed I Saw the Light, I’m glad it avoided a lot of the usual biopic cliches. Tom did a great job; he brought a real empathy to the character, and a lovely poignancy to songs like I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.
THIS IS UNEXPECTED YET SOOOOO GREAT
Tom looks lovely
Listening to Tom's calm and relaxing makes me want to meditate and read Shakespeare.
I love both Lily and Tom! Such a great pairing and a thoughtful conversation, loved this
Such an intelligent conversation! Brilliantly coupled!
have never heard such an active listener like Lily James 😭😮💨
2 British icons. I wished they talked about their theatre/stage experiences. They both are amazing stage actors ❤️
I am indian 😭
Loved their conversations! Great chemistry too
Haven’t watched the Pam & Tommy story… so wow on the accent Lily! She did the Vancouver/ Canadian accent quite well… and with unique voice. Love Tom H, and Lily!
If I was Lily I would also melt on my chair. I love Tom! I could listen to him for hours!
They have amazing chemistry between them!!. Amazing to watch!
i guess it's time to melt. princess lily (cinderalla) and villain Tom. (loki) Tom's VOICE and EYES and lily's sweet personality and laughter
I didn't expect this pair, but god it somehow makes a lot of sense seeing them converse like this.
Lily James is so pretty and talented and Tom hiddleston is well the literal love of my life 💖 💕 💗 I want to see both of them in more movies
Okay I now want a movie of them together!
And after Sebastian and Jennifer, that's another duo I didn't know I needed!! So excited to watch this one
Somebody hire these two to be in a film opposite each other now!!! PLEASE
Lily James is an absolute striking beauty. In everyway.
you know you have a high level of enxiety when you watch these videos and just keep think how would be so estressful and overwhelming being in such high level company. It's so intense in my head imagening being in their places and maybe it's only me but this is how I feel. I love watching actors and movies becuse genuilly they portrait and live what i could do or not do if i had more courage and less fear in social enviroments.
same. god gave me social anxiety otherwise i'd be too powerful. it really crushes dreams
@@machennii you are not alone!! here's to the ones who think too much but say too little in public right? 🌻
Tom Hiddleston is the second best thing to happen to this world after the discovery of fire...♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️he made me love acting
Awww! 💞
and lily really gained my respect over the years
Oh my!! Honestly, we feel spoilt with these interview uploads. Its Soo refreshing to watch them after the COVID lockdown, quite educational and informative. Keep it up and give the person responsible for the pairings a raise!!
I am obsessed with the pairs variety is making lately… zendaya and andrew, sebastian and jennifer and now tom and lily
Loved Essex Serpent's finale, highly recommend! And how they meet was very clever.
