Guillermo del Toro says<br />
Hiddleston “has a timeless<br />
leading-man quality,<br />
vulnerable and magnetic”<br />
Spielberg once called him<br />
“the new Errol Flynn”<br />
He worked with her again on 2010’s Archipelago, but<br />
between their first and second collaborations notched up<br />
films with Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris), Kenneth<br />
Branagh (Thor) and Steven Spielberg (War Horse). The<br />
character of Loki keeps drawing him back to the Marvel<br />
Universe and in 2017 he’ll make his fourth outing as Thor’s<br />
arch-enemy in Thor: Ragnarok. Leading film-makers<br />
continue to draw Hiddleston into their worlds too. One of<br />
the more recent is Guillermo del Toro, the Mexican behind<br />
this year’s gothic ghost story Crimson Peak, who has said<br />
that Hiddleston “has a timeless leading-man quality. He is<br />
simultaneously vulnerable and magnetic.” Spielberg once<br />
called him “the new Errol Flynn”.<br />
Hiddleston is comfortable with his background and proud<br />
of what he’s achieved but thinks it lazy when he’s automatically<br />
lumped in with other well-spoken, well-educated<br />
British actors of his age. His name is often mentioned in<br />
the same breath as Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne or his<br />
friend Cumberbatch, and he’s regularly cited as an<br />
example of how acting is dominated by those from<br />
privileged backgrounds. “Let’s be clear, at the beginning of<br />
my career, I had an easier ride through the lean times,” he<br />
says, calmly taking those criticisms head-on. “I’m lucky.<br />
And I understand negative perspectives. But sometimes it<br />
feels like ammunition for someone who’s got an axe to<br />
grind. They write things about me and I think, I’m not this<br />
person, it’s just an accident of birth, and I’m sorry if you’re<br />
offended by that.”<br />
And Hiddleston clearly believes in giving<br />
something back. He’s a vocal and active<br />
supporter of the charity Unicef. In 2013, he<br />
went on a well-publicised trip to Guinea in<br />
west Africa to draw attention to hunger and<br />
malnutrition in the developing world and in 2014 wrote<br />
about his experiences, again for Unicef, of trying to live on<br />
less than £1 in the UK for five days. He has also spoken<br />
about having no time for actors who are arrogant and lack<br />
the common decency to treat colleagues and fans with<br />
dignity and respect.<br />
“I remember as a young actor being treated contemptuously<br />
by people I hoped would be great,” he explains. “And I<br />
thought: ‘You’ve got this amazing life, you’ve probably got<br />
everything you want, why are you behaving like this?’ I<br />
knew that if I ever found myself in that position, I’d<br />
remember to treat people with equanimity and kindness.”<br />
Playing the stylish, malevolent Loki has brought with it a<br />
level of global fandom reserved for few actors. When<br />
