Tom Hiddleston is most recognizable for his infamous role as “Loki” in Marvel’s “Avengers” movie series. The 40-year-old actor reached international levels of fame after takin the aforementioned villain role. But it wasn’t until he appeared in the movie: “Kong: Skull Island” (2017) that he landed a big-budget role outside of the Marvel universe.
That same year in 2017 Tom was included in Debrett’s 2017 list of the “Most Influential People in the UK.”
Tom’s career has seen several accolades including nominations for TV roles along with winning a Golden Globe award!

Many people don’t realize how much passion that Tom has for his acting. Furthermore, many of his costumes have hidden just how incredibly fit he is! (A perfect example is with the “Avengers” movie series where he wears large robes in many scenes)
One of the previews for his upcoming Disney+ starring role in “Loki” show him shirtless, and boy has it given rise to some fan admiration!
In fact, the first episode premiered on Disney+ and it set a new “first day” record for the platform!

In fact, people were so eager to see the show that the first episode premiered on Disney+ and it set a new “first day” record for the platform! (Partially due to the eye-candy this series is giving!) (#TomBeServing)
Outlets are now covering how this virtual streaming service is growing far more popular than many realize. If a show’s debut can set a “day 1” record so quickly, some wonder what the future holds for more television series:

“Clearly, the growing number of household tuning in on Day 1 proves that the Marvel Disney+ series are growing in momentum,” reports SambaTV.
Tom is no stranger to getting ripped for roles, however, even going so far as to undergo "SAS" Training! Tom shared specifics about this:
"I was trained by a US navy seal and I worked with two British royal marines and it basically involved getting up at four o'clock in the morning and do all manner of running, jumping, lifting, pulling, pushing and then going and doing a day's work filming."
'More Respect'

Tom also shared that he has a healthy respect for anyone enlisted in the military!
"Let's just be straight: I am nowhere near fit enough to be a professional soldier, I have more respect for their bravery and courage than you can imagine."
Tom has also learned to keep in shape with unorthodox ways. His big tip he gave shortly after his lead role in “Kong: Skull Island” was that he had to “mix up” his workout routine.
More information continues to come out about the latest Marvel stars, including “Valkyrie” Tessa Thompson. (Who was a co-star alongside Tom in the “Thor” movie series)
