First things first: we actually quite like Tom Hiddleston, and would happily frolic on any number of beaches in any number of “We actually quite like TH, he seems like an okay person” vest tops.

Sadly, however, a fair few people seem to have a bit of a problem with the Kong: Skull Island star and (very soon to be) A-list British actor.

It’s not that they don’t think he’s talented. Hiddleston, by general consensus, was absolutely fantastic in The Night Manager, a performance for which he was awarded a Golden Globe earlier this year, and has won legions of comic book fans for his charismatic turn as villain Loki in Marvel’s Thor movies and in The Avengers. (We love that bit in The Avengers where he says “There are no men like me”. Nobody could have said that line as well as Tom Hiddleston, because there are no men like Tom Hiddleston. Or maybe the point is there are always men like Tom Hiddleston. Either way, he was good.)
