I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?'
Tom HiddlestonI've done my share of period stuff. I'm not sure why, but people say I have a period face. The bread and butter of British TV is Jane Austen adaptations and bridges and bonnets and boats and horses.
Tom HiddlestonI am no saviour. Iโm absolutely the last person on the planet who can practically help. I donโt know how to make the different types of therapeutic feeding milk. Iโm no chemist. Iโm no doctor. Iโm no engineer. I canโt manufacture polio vaccines or organise their transportation to the health centres in Saramoussayah or Bissikirima. I canโt build schools, or design drainage systems. I canโt provide the women and children of Mandiana with water.All I can do now is help make people aware of what is happening, of what they are doing. That is all that I can do. For now.
