Punch Line Actor

August 2, 2017 Blind Gossip

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] He’s very worried about his reputation. He thinks that people see him as a joke.

He thinks that he became a bit of a punch line after dating [Singer]. He could still book jobs, but after years of establishing himself as an actor, people were laughing at him. That was quite hurtful to him.

Unfortunately, that negative publicity may have cost him the lead role in an action franchise. And while he has his other franchises, he is certainly lagging behind other actors of his stature when it comes to new projects in the pipeline.

He needed to do something manly and commanding and serious to turn that around. That’s why he is doing this one-off theater bit. It’s a serious part for a serious actor. In fact, he says that it is THE most serious part for a serious actor! He believes it will reboot what people think of him.

It’s certainly not a low key part he is taking on. It will be interesting to see if actually helps people see him as a serious actor rather than a punch line.

    Actor: Tom Hiddleston, who will star in Hamlet

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    Clues: “other franchises” = Thor
    “Low Key” = Loki
    “Lead role in an action franchise” = James Bond
    A lot of people realized his relationship with Taylor was fake, which turned him into a joke.

    I’m not really bothered by his relationship with Taylor, it didn’t change my mind of him at all. I’m not a huge fan, but I think he’s talented.

      Thirded. I had a good laugh with Hiddleswift, especially with the memes. I think he came across as thirsty and ridiculous with that whole debacle, but I still take him seriously as an actor. I think he can bounce back.

    Actor: Tom Hiddleston
    Singer: Taylor Swift
    Theater: He is playing Hamlet for three weeks at a very small London theater, with Kenneth Branagh directing. It’s to raise money for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, so it’s a very highbrow opportunity for a very highbrow cause.

    Tom Hiddleston

    He will play Hamlet in London. TS publicity cost him the James Bond role.

    Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston?

  16. Arshes says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:24 pm

    Tom Hiddleston who is gonna do Hamlet. He definitely got his rep hurt by the dating Taylor Swift thing but dudes also BORING and a lot of Marvel actors careers ain’t going anywhere so he’s hot company.

  17. little leigh says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:28 pm

    Tom Hiddleston – he’s playing Hamlet in a Branagh production with a limited run at a small theatre.

  18. delray74 says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:29 pm

  19. WillowPotter says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:30 pm

    Tom Hiddleston

    Taylor Swift

    No idea on the clues, I just instinctively knew it was him he has been made fun of because she seems be a bit of a joke with her revolving door when it comes to boyfriends.

    Optional: It might, I like his acting anyway.

  20. Beekeeper says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:32 pm

    Actor: Tom Hiddleston

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    Clues: something to do with “punch line”
    Probably their couple name: hiddleswift

  21. with a twist says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:32 pm

    Tom Hiddleston doing Hamlet for 3 weeks only

    Taylor Swift

    Clues: low-key, rumored to have bungled his opportunity to play Bond after dating her.

    It will take more than this to turn things around for him. The press overkill and all those weird photos during their quick relationship have been seared into everyone’s memory. I don’t know why he thought dating a pop princess would be good if he wanted to be taken seriously, but it was about the worst thing he could have done!

    • Catfink says

      August 3, 2017 at 10:26 am

      I agree. It made him look way too thirsty. If he had a low-key personality then people will move on. He needs to not be so publicity hungry.

  22. bhsbaby says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:35 pm

    Actor: Tom Hiddleston

    Singer: Tay Swiz

    A whole host of hints, but the big one being “It’s not a Low Key part”, because a) Loki and B) Hamlet is a BIG role.

    Optional: Man I hope so. He really is a talented actor. Maybe a bit fame hungry, but lbr, who isn’t in Hollywood?

  23. plumplum says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:45 pm

    Loki

  24. High Steppa says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:46 pm

    Hiddleston after dating Swifty. It was such an obvious ploy for the paps. He wanted to be considered for the James Bond franchise. One clue: “Low-Key” = Loki, his best-known character. Will it help? It can’t hurt!

  25. Saffron21 says

    August 2, 2017 at 2:46 pm

    Actor: Tom Hiddleston

    August 2, 2017 at 3:25 pm

    Tom Hiddleston in Hamlet.

    His acting ability was never in question, but for me the damage came with what appeared to be a questionable integrity. Pulling a stunt like that seemed so out of character for an actor of his background and ability, and made me question what’s he really in it for. Seemingly minor things, but ultimately and unfortunately, it has affected how I see him. I’m not sure if this will change that for me. For his sake, I hope it does for the people who get to see him.

  40. buddypal says

    August 2, 2017 at 3:26 pm

    Actor: Tom Hiddleston

    Singer: Taylor Swift

    Clues: He could have gotten James Bond, but didnt because of his reputation. He is currently in a franchise with Thor.

    August 2, 2017 at 3:45 pm

    I don’t think enough people will see Tom Hiddleston in Hamlet for it to make a difference in his movie career. And Hamlet isn’t exactly in the same genre as James Bond, so…

    Clues: Low- Key, loki

    [Optional] Do you think this part will turn his reputation around? Not for awhile. Last year was a very bad year for him reputation wise. It is good she is staying on the downlow, he needs to do the same- keep his head down and work.

  57. carrythatweight12 says

    August 2, 2017 at 4:49 pm

    Actor: Hiddleston
    Singer: T Swift
    Clues: Couldn’t spot one to save my life, but I follow classical theater like fat people follow cake.
    Opinion: If his Hamlet kicks ass, it will gain him serious respect with certain audiences, but I dunno what credibility it will restore with Hollywood, which only occasionally cares about the Bard.

  58. MaryQuiteContrary says

    August 2, 2017 at 4:51 pm

    Tom Hiddleston

    He needs to date someone else who’s high profile to erase the memory of TayTay.

    August 2, 2017 at 5:27 pm

    Tom Hiddleston…starring in Hamlet
    Taylor Swift

    Optional: he is an alright actor but his career was lagging before Taylor Swift and he only dated her to try to make himself more notable and marketable. Sadly the plan didn’t work because he just looked as desperate as he is and will always be. People can smell insincerity and desperation.

    Singer: Taylor Swift
    Clues: Wasn’t paying attention, gut reaction.
    Optional: Nope. But…..maybe if he moved to Marseilles, France, and quoted Hugo, Sartre, Camus and Curie, he could redeem himself.

  71. cassadaga says

    August 2, 2017 at 5:47 pm

    Tom Hiddleston. He’s going to be doing Hamlet.

    From what I understand, he’s a good actor (I’ve never seen him in anything), but I can see why people may think he’s a joke after the Taylor fiasco. It was painfully obvious it wasn’t real.

  72. Jelly Drop says

    August 2, 2017 at 5:50 pm

    Tom Hiddleston
    Taylor Swift.
    He is starring in Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ in London for a limited run, directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh. Weighty role. Good move.

  76. andyo115 says

    August 2, 2017 at 6:35 pm

    Tom Hiddleston who “dated” Taylor Swift. Lost out on Bond franchise but still has his Thor franchise. Stature could be a clue as he’s 6’2. Low-key part is a play on his character in the Thor/Avenger movies Loki. He’s going to be in Hamlet in London. I really hope this changes his reputation because he’s an amazing actor and is so charming and unfortunatey lost a lot of fans when he dated Swift. I know because i stalk anyone Tom Hiddleston related. Lol

  77. Catfink says

    August 2, 2017 at 6:42 pm

    Totally 1000000% Tom Hiddleston
    Singer: Taylor Swift
    Clues: the theater bit—> Hiddleston doing Hamlet. Low-Key: Loki from The Avengers

    He has to do way more than just this, imo. That speech he gave was embarrassing too. He needs to keep taking on more projects, and he’ll eventually bounce back so people forget. He’s a guy so it’s easier for him than if he were a woman.

  83. GretaGuesses says

    Singer: Taylor Swift
    Clues: “low-key”
    Optional: Not among the general public. Doubtful that most Americans will even hear about this performance; he needs a very high-profile Oscar-nominated film to make any headway, reputation-wise.
