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 HiddlestonIโd like to fight everybody who wants to make war on people. Iโd like to fight bullies, actually. Iโd like to stand up to the bullies in this world. I was actually mugged once in London, and I was completely defenseless. They came at me with aโฆ I was held at knifepoint. And I felt so angry that I let them do it and I think Iโd like to go back and say โLook, itโs okayโ, and if they tried to stab me, I could just say โYou can stop that nowโ.
Tom HiddlestonItโs always about, somehow, finding a part of myself that is relevant, and then turning the volume up on that particular part. So, I am all of the characters I've ever played, and I am none of them at the same time.
