Tom Hiddleston Eyeing Theatre Return


British star Tom Hiddleston is eyeing a return to the theatre as he feels the need to step away from the security of Hollywood and face the challenges of acting on stage again.

The actor started his career on the stage before winning parts in blockbusters such as Thor and The Avengers and admits he misses the thrill of performing for a live audience.

He tells Wenn, "I do think that theatre is the actors' medium ultimately. I love working in film, which is the directors' medium most of all. An actor is an instrument in the director's orchestra but the director is conducting and playing and composing the tune.

"Whereas on stage there's something so thrilling about the direct and live contact and complicity with an audience... you have this unique chemistry and there's no hiding place."

Hiddleston goes on to reveal he is actively searching for a new theatre project and hopes to be back on stage very soon.

He adds, "I'm quite excited, I'm actively reading plays at the moment to try and find something interesting and different that I could do. I also think it would be nice, I need to test myself in that arena again."

Hiddleston's previous theatre credits include a critically-acclaimed stint in a London production of Shakespeare's Othello with Scottish actor Ewan MCGregor and a West End revival of Anton Chekhov's play Ivanov.

teetersslow 10th-Nov-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
at a premiere or a signing, you'd probably get trampled or something
kukamine 10th-Nov-2012 01:49 am (UTC)
gurl you know there's going to be a bunch of crazies to go see him so I would still fear for your life if I were you.

Dude, the stage door after the show would be insane. It would be like that scene in Hercules where all the fangirls burst into his house!
willow_diamond 10th-Nov-2012 01:44 am (UTC)
as long as I can get tickets!
fred2265 10th-Nov-2012 02:44 am (UTC)
Yeah, looking forward...
ladysherlock 10th-Nov-2012 01:44 am (UTC)
I'm scared for him being on a stage now that he has so many more crazy ass fans.
awakejupiter 10th-Nov-2012 01:46 am (UTC)
ikr. i'm fearing he might get fan behaviour daniel radcliffe had to endure.
ladysherlock 10th-Nov-2012 01:47 am (UTC)
Oh gawd he definitely will.

Praying for tumblr to get a new obsession between now and then.
honey_child 10th-Nov-2012 02:51 am (UTC)
Just curious, what did fans do in danrad's case?
rogue 10th-Nov-2012 03:01 am (UTC)
what did dan have to go through??? girls tried to get him while he was on stage?
sandstorm 10th-Nov-2012 02:09 am (UTC)
I was thinking the same thing...I remembered reading stories of fangirls ruining the show when Darren Criss went to theater.
honey_child 10th-Nov-2012 02:52 am (UTC)
When I saw Frankenstein (in the cinema), Cumberstilts fangirls were ruining the show by making catcalls at the screen and commenting on how cute his ass was.

THIS WAS THE NIGHT WHEN HE WAS PLAYING THE CREATURE BTW
theflyingbeet 10th-Nov-2012 07:25 pm (UTC)

greenfairy_87 10th-Nov-2012 01:59 am (UTC)

Flawless tragic woobie who can't handle his booze: Michael Cassio.
endingonfire 10th-Nov-2012 01:46 am (UTC)
I swear to God, if he does this, I will plan my exchange to London around this theatre schedule. I would LOVE to see him live onstage.
kate_fkn_does 10th-Nov-2012 01:46 am (UTC)
Good god I am all OVER those tickets!
amy_ra 10th-Nov-2012 01:51 am (UTC)
That face.
lulamadison 10th-Nov-2012 01:53 am (UTC)
Yup, starting to save money for this now. Or the Thor 2 premiere. The Thor 2 premiere might be outdoors in October though, which really puts me off. The Avengers UK premiere was so nice, it was warm and indoors, with excellent toilet facilities.
greenfairy_87 10th-Nov-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
Saving my money for SDCC since why wouldn't they be promoting Thor 2?
argeneau 10th-Nov-2012 02:02 am (UTC)
Lucky you :) I could quite easily afford the convention...just not the £800+ flight for peak time summer travel lol /o\
lulamadison 10th-Nov-2012 02:04 am (UTC)
That also sounds like it would be nice and warm and indoors.
superdogbiter 10th-Nov-2012 01:53 am (UTC)
it's nice to see him again
elektra180 10th-Nov-2012 01:56 am (UTC)
WANT. Although I'd have no idea how I'd pay to go see him. lol
argeneau 10th-Nov-2012 01:58 am (UTC)
xpirate_queenx 10th-Nov-2012 02:04 am (UTC)
Right?
argeneau 10th-Nov-2012 02:12 am (UTC)
I Googled 'excited gif' and this was the first one that summed up my feelings, lmao! I hope this happens, I've been waiting for a good excuse to go to London again :) Can't justify spending £100 on travel alone unless there's something big happening *crosses fingers*
willow_diamond 10th-Nov-2012 03:01 am (UTC)
^ me whenever I see him
theflyingbeet 10th-Nov-2012 07:27 pm (UTC)
me tbh
for_serious13 10th-Nov-2012 01:59 am (UTC)
oh son, you will be harassed on the daily with your crazy fangirls
yougotthestyle 10th-Nov-2012 02:02 am (UTC)
omg 2 post in the same day, amazing!!!

i don't know if is the right thing to do for his career right now, he should be taking advantage of the avengers spotlight, make more commercial films, he's taking the same decisions that Chris pine after star trek and his career is suffering to this day, or maybe i'm just jealous because i don't live in London and i can't see him in a any play. i love you anyway tom

If you told me a comic book villain could pull off puppy dog eyes and make me want to make him cocoa, I would've said you're nuts.
wikkibird 10th-Nov-2012 02:20 am (UTC)
^ This!
zoaster_toaster 10th-Nov-2012 04:20 am (UTC)

camila12j 10th-Nov-2012 08:33 am (UTC)
