Dominic Cooper joked about Tom Hiddleston beating him to a role

The Mamma Mia! star, whose eclectic CV goes everywhere from ABBA to Preacher, has certainly worked on some incredible things in his career.

But speaking to The Guardian, he was asked: “What is the worst thing anyone’s said to you?”

He said simply: “‘They’re offering it to Tom Hiddleston.’”

It’s unclear which part he’s talking about - but clearly it was one he had his eyes on.
