Tom Hiddleston talks Southern accents, how cant can rhyme with taint

Here are some beautiful photos of Tom Hiddleston in NYC yesterday, outside of Rockefeller Center where he appeared live on the Today Show. I just have to say… this is his color. I know he likes wearing weirdly bright blue suits, but he needs to invest in more grey clothes and more pale blue ties. The grey – more than the bright blue – makes his eyes pop. He looks really beautiful in these photos! His hairline is retreating though, so good luck to him on that.

Tom’s Today interview was kind of meh, but apparently the film is handing out giant Stetson cowboy hats as promotion for the film. It’s weird because those hats looks REALLY expensive and well-made. And yes, Tom looks really pretty here as well. The Today ladies were getting all tizzy over him.

Tom also gave a lot of time to Access Hollywood on the red carpet for I Saw the Light earlier this week. I’m just seeing these videos now, sorry I didn’t get to them sooner. Here’s Tom talking about playing historical figures, how he lost weight to play Hank, and British music.

And here’s another Access Hollywood video. In this one, he’s talking about accent work and the different kind of Southern accents. Look, Y’ALL, I have a Southern accent because I grew up in Virginia. And I think that entitles me to say: I almost always loathe the sound of a non-Southerner (especially a Brit) trying to do any kind of Southern accent. It’s rarely done correctly. But I will never get tired of hearing Tom, with his posh accent, saying “Louisianer” and “Alabamer” for Louisiana and Alabama. Just like I will never get tired of him saying, “Caint, paint, TAINT.” God bless him, you guys. I do not have high hopes for his Alabamer accent, but bless him for saying “taint” to Access Hollywood.
