Tom Hiddleston bought a quiet shout-out as a well-known ex of Taylor Swift‘s on the Individuals’s Alternative Awards — however the dude took it in stride and was all smiles … which kinda speaks volumes.
The actor was amongst many well-known faces readily available Sunday throughout the broadcast — and whereas host Simu Liu was making a Swifite joke … the cameras lower to Tom proper on the tail finish of it, however he wasn’t a sourpuss about it. If something, he was fairly the nice sport!
Here is what occurred … Simu was doing his monologue, and at one level in his remarks — he shouted a film this yr a few blonde who bought everybody to decorate up and dance.
No, he wasn’t referring to “Barbie” — as he jokingly famous, it was the “Eras” tour film.
That bought an enormous chuckle, particularly as Simu continued to lean into the truth that he was a Swiftie earlier than he was ever solid in “Barbie” … and whereas he was ending his gag, Tom’s face popped up on the display screen — seemingly with out his information, but it surely actually felt like a selection.
We’ll admit, if producers simply wished to point out him for his connection to Taylor — they briefly dated in the summertime of 2016 — it did not actually make sense, particularly within the context of what was being stated. Simu was speaking about her “1989” album, which TH has nothing to do with.
Once more, although … the homeboy wasn’t bizarre about it both. That is most likely as a result of his little fling with Taylor is one of some relationships of hers that ended considerably amicably … so he might be in a room with Taylor’s identify being thrown and never be bent out of practice.
Taylor, in fact, wasn’t on the present … she’s busy touring down in Australia.
