WATCH: Tom Hiddleston & Josie Rourke in Conversation - AH / JW3 Speaker Series 

If he is my professor, I'll never get bored of school .

I like how the comments sections of every video with Tom Hiddleston anywhere in it is filled with people collectively agreeing that Tom is a God who should have his own religion.

This is so weird but Tom Hiddleston work ethic makes me motivated to study😅😅😅 I’m a Medical student btw😂😂😂

I could listen to him for hours, he is so natural and passionate about acting that you can't stop listening to him. Very inspiring man.

"There are as many stories as there are people on this planet" a really nice quote...

My Heart goes out for this man. He is so generous and kind and vastly knowledgeable. I am not familiar with the Shakspeare' s work, so I didn't understand the lingo of it and this video, but I can listen to this man all day. With every word, he shares a story, and his hard work reflects from his words. He never says that he is very talented always give credit to his teachers and his fellow mates. Always emphasized his education's importance, which I believe is the key to success in general as well. I wish I would have known him somehow, he seems like someone I can share my issues, and he will hear me out wholeheartedly and give me good advice. God Bless you, Tom Hiddleston. You are one of a kind, I so glad you exist. 🙏

Tom is a practicing professor. I wonder why no university has given him any Honorary Doctorates, neither the Royal Household even considers to give him a knighthood for his services in theatre and drama, when we already know that Benedict Cumberbatch has already been a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). Poor my perfect gentleman Tom.

His voice has this calming and soothing effect on me. I always listen to his long interviews whenever I'm panicked or stressed and it calms me down a lot.

I was the first person to ask a question, both the most exciting and embarrasing moment of my life :D

Tom Hiddleston should be a lecturer at RADA

The emphasis on truth seems to extend so much beyond acting! The man radiates honesty even in real life. Always a pleasure to watch Tom Hiddleston interviews, and listen to his deep and meaningful reflections on everything under the sun.

Omg he went to Eton College, Cambridge University and even RADA... What a CV dayum

We need to protect this man !!🤲🏻

His hands are so beautiful 🤗😍😇👐💓

This kind of actors are those who need to be in the industry, in the future I see he with an Oscar

He's so modest about his own abilities and complements others so much. Lovely person.

God he's so well spoken 😍😍

I love his voice I love the way he think And the way he speek I love the silence In the middle of his sentence Because he want to speak As well as his heart feels

This is a real master class in acting and theater ... not all directors or actors are as articulate as thesevtwo intelligent and skilled people.

57:46 Can't get enough of the La Fortaleza story 😂 also Tom speaking Spanish 😍👌

Actors who bring truth into imaginary circumstances are the ones who make me forget that I see an actor on screen/stage and that make me believe that I see the characters they play. For example, in Thor that was **Loki**, not Tom as Loki, that's how believable/truthfull he was.

I watched this 1 hour and 24 minutes interview of Tom and I didn’t understand anything they talked about but just watching him talk is so fascinating

Quite possibly the most humble actor I have ever had the pleasure of listening to as a human being.

I am just in awe of this man who I probably wouldn't even meet in person but he just exudes such humanity. I hope he doesn't get jaded because of Hollywood.

I always love that I learn something from Tom. He's so eloquent when he speaks, and makes sure you understand where he's coming from. I like that he likes to make a connection with his audiences whenever he is in front of one.

look how fluffy he is :3

I loved listening to Tom talk about 'being truthful in imaginary circumstances' it makes total sense. As a writer, this is what I attempt to do as I create a story with people who are in my imagination and I write as truthful as I can. I imagine that this understanding happens in any mode of creativity such as performers/singers, poets, painters. The process has to appear to be real, truthful. A slice of life. Tom is so great, self effacing and his sense of humor is wonderful. What a lovely human being he is. I wish I could see him in 'Betrayal' -- I'm in California so I don't see my being able to see the play.

He’s so articulate, so humble, so intelligent. Getting thin, maybe for the Loki series? The beard would need to go!

He is so animated when he tells a story.

I know nothing about acting. I don't particularly want to be an actor. But this talk was ridiculously compelling regardless, and it seems a lot of people in the comments feel this way too. The impression I get is of someone who tries to consider deeply and learn from every facet of his life, someone who strives to face every moment with courage and empathy and a commitment to authenticity. This kind of considered life is getting rarer and rarer. It's quite frankly scary to live like that, it demands a lot of you; but you and the people around you are all the better for it. I think that cultivating such an attitude in your life has the side effect of making you magnetic in a way. It gives you that contagious spark that frees others to mirror your vulnerability. I don't know if that kind of attitude can be taught, exactly, but he should consider giving it a red-hot go, because society will only be better off for it; write a book, do a TED talk. Run a masterclass; acting, speaking, Shakespeare - anything. It doesn't matter what, because teaching imparts a philosophy, a wisdom, not just facts. People like this, the best of us - we need teachers like this. Thank you for posting this video.

I just love hearing Tom talk about his craft. He's just so good. He's a wonderful talent, I imagine anyone who has the opportunity to work alongside him feels very lucky.

His hair tho *It's way nicer when it's like this*

I really enjoy the director's way of thinking and how she is so meticulous and detail oriented in her thought process and management. Then I find out that SHE is the director for Mary Queen of Scots! Now I am even more excited about the film because she is so intelligent, I am hoping that it's not just going to be another pretty historical costume drama. Fingers crossed.

I had been waiting for this to appear on RU-vid and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Tom & Josie have such respect for each other. This is Tom at his best, when he has time to think and share those wonderfully articulate words of wisdom.

I love this man so much. I have never heard of a human being so Kind, generous, intelligent, articulate and devouted. He is so amazing and talented. I appreciate all his work and effort. Its really interesting to watch him in interviews and to see him talk about all theae fascinating things. I really hope that I can meet him someday; What an Honour it would be.

Oh God I'm actually excited to see him clean-shaven after a whole year, for Loki TV Series ofc.

I'm in complete awe of Tom's beautiful, intellectual mind. His articulation of words speaks to my soul - not to mention his fascinating good looks :) Every time he is on screen, I am drawn only to him as he steals the scene/show.

As a student of acting school, I really love to listen to Tom and his opinion of acting, the way of acting. I love the way he works with the material and what acting result he gives in the films and theatre plays. Such a dedicated actor

I absolutley cannot think of anything that could make him even more perfect

I am dieing to sit down and have a few cups of coffee/tea with some cookies with this man and just really talk about anything.

Great interview! Tom is so articulate and well-spoken. I love how he gives a plug for Josie’s movie Mary Queen of Scots and how excited he gets for it. Such a genuine human being.

I like these long interviews. So fascinating and calming.

Wow, what a great "interview" Josie was so nice to let Tom Hiddleston speak & he do it with his whole heart ❤ He tells us so much from his fun to do his work. You can feel it, Tom is so happy that he can do what he loves. To be an actor ! It's really amazing to listen to him ...and Josie of course. It's also sweet, not only Tom speak with his hands ...both do it. I like that really much. It's another part of acting. We see them, hear their voices and their hands have an acting part too. TYSM for sharing the whole interview. I love the last part too, when Tom talk about his love to his role as #Loki ❤📑📚🎬 TY😘

He is such a class act! And what a joy to listen to someone talk with such passion about their work.

I have so much respect for this man

Before I knew Tom Hiddleston was playing Loki, I was so marveled (pun intended XD)at his performance at Tom's character and how excellent he is on point with this character that we all got to understand and love,then it came to my mind that I wanted to know who played as Loki and learn more about Tom..but once I heard the name "Tom Hiddleston" my eyes were wide open XD so from then on I researched and learned more about Tom's personality then I realized that his Personality is so relatable to mine.. due to the fact that we both love doing impressions (which I do all the time) and we both play music, both kind and caring, I could keep going all day X3 I'm not British, I'm an American girl who looks like him but feminine 😂 and I'm not the same age as him unfortunately but he as inspired me so much that it made me cry because when he went to ace comic con in Chicago when he said "we all have moments of doubt but if we just hold each other through the uncertainty we'll get through it together" I cried full of joy when I watched that video.. because it gave me so much motivation to move past my depression of my condition of Scoliosis and I'm so great full that this wonderful man was brought to this world from God..💙 i haven't met him yet but hopefully soon I can..but may God bless this beautiful man.. Amen 💙💙

When Loki was adopted by Einstein.

Wise man once said smart is sexy That's exactly describe tom 💕💕

1:02:00 A snake? How fitting for someone who would end up being Loki ^^

Such deep meaningful answers in this talk, you can really see the passion and intellect that goes into both their crafts.

And now we know that Loki is going to stay with him for a bit more.. Thanks for sharing this video, it was interesting as usual. :-)

I love so much how he generously gives extra time to ppl who ask the questions! :)

I could listen to his voice all day

" We tell stories from the past, to understand something about our present. "

Such an intelligent man,he is so eloquent and articulate... He is a true inspiration

His intelligence is charming.

there were so many amazing things said in this interview. i'm a high school student who wishes to be a (screen)writer some day and watching these artists speak so honestly on the subject of art and putting parts of yourself into it really inspires me. also, i am so excited for the Loki series :D

I'm so proud of tom.

There is something in him, that makes my heart to want to explode from exciment and passion and happines. But at the same time, it gives me peace and calm. I feel like the heart opens and tríes to capture all he is saying. Remember it, live it as he says. This kind of speech holds so deep and estimulates the exercise of thinking. He is not only handsome, he is a beautiful human being.

Despite the differences between Tom Hiddleston and, let's say, Tom Hardy's interviews, we love them both. One isn't more uptight than the other, or less refined than the other, because they're just different people, with their own lovable natures. It really should be like that for everyone else in the world XD

Tom hiddleston💕

I love this man with my whole heart. I would die for him.

Wow, I had no head he read Classics at Cambridge. Formidable mind for sure.

It was a very interesting interview. Thanks a lot for sharing. Tom is an amazing actor and you can see how passionate he is by theater.

I wish I could be there one day to see a conference with Tom. He always takes his time to answer the questions and he always haves jokes like the Fortaleza ! And everyone says he's a God, every interview is a treasure. I love him and I love this conversation.

Gees tom has it all charm, looks, intelligence, talent and that great voice modern day Cary grant love him

Tom always reveals his feelings talking to the people,being an interwiev,or just few words..But the secret of his acting is this,he knows,that an actor must hide its feelings,thus able to express the feeling of character he plays..

This conversation is so rich, ten minutes really gives you so much. :}

Tom's legs are longer than my life!! 😍

Awesome conversation.

Look at the flooooooof!

I really can't get enough of watching this interview. It really has so many layers and you have to watch it more than once to catch them all.

Removed from the playfulness of the Marvel universe, Tom's intellect and eloquence turn my crush into true love😷😆💕

That was a very great last question and he answered it wonderfully. All around, a great conversation with these two. I enjoyed watching it very much.

This man is a light in this world, he has a joy and freshness to his soul that just makes you want to watch him and listen to him all day!

He is the New Renaissance Man Love everything about he's so prolific as an actor Josie.

He is so great. I love the hair and beard.

I've always thought about acting the same way as his . You put yourself in the character's situation , then you feel that feeling and you know what you should do .

Can you imagine how relaxing a guided meditation led by him would be? Listening to his voice while slipping into a deep meditation...

Tom is gifted & is reaching a lot of people in positive ways & inspiring them in many ways. He's leaving behind him an amazing legacy. He's an amazing man. God will bless.him.💖

Thank you so much for sharing this talk on youtube. It is always a great pleasure and huge inspiration to listen to Mr Hiddlestons considerations.

The power of articulating about, really, anything of our humanness goes really deep: it really fullfill a very deep need of us! And anyone able to do it, is, by us, deeply loved. ..for me. Thank you all for sharing.

Very interesting conversation. Lots of indepth information. I love that. They both complement each other so well in this interview. Great questions from the audience. I wish I could give this more likes. I believe I've read somewhere that in Northern Mythology Loki was ginger.

This is one of my favorite interview / discussions thing Tom has done .and because of him talking so passionately about acting not only did it make me ❤️ him it made him my fave actor n have more respect for the art of acting then I did b4 and I love his long discussions how he explains things u see how his mind works n I just find it fascinating n beautiful 😍

This was very educational and enjoyable.

Tom is absolutely right considering Coriolanus true nature and feelings,to the core....bravo...

love this man so much

Great interview. Love Tom. Josie is fascinating!

My goodness! That was a marathon. Tom's an intellectual. ❣️

LOVED the night manager!

Who the hell disliked this?

love this man... Tom...

what an angel......

50:47 finally someone talking about Jonathan and Sophie rights!!!!!!

He has a god's look and a god's voice!

I find myself in „being truthfully in imaginary circumstances“. It’s intriguing how it fits the circumstances of my job. Although it has nothing to do with the actual tasks I sometimes have to be a psychologist, a doctor or even a teacher/educator. You really can take some advice for yourself and that’s just great.

As far as ambition goes...this mans got it all, and it is intensely attractive. Hold. Me. Down.

He is so deep, I love him ♥️

Thank you for this video.. thank you, Tom, for sharing your inner thought :)

Great interview.
