13 Stars Who Love Tom Hiddleston As Much As You Do
It's not surprising that Tom Hiddleston has made a lot of famous friends. He charms just about everyone he meets from fans to A-list stars alike. Most recently, actor J.K. Simmons revealed Hiddleston was the reason he signed on to a King Kong prequel. After all, when Hiddleston's name is on a project you can guarantee that he'll not only work hard to make it great, but it will be a hit because the Hiddlestoners will come out in full force to see it.
But Simmons is far from the only celebrity to fangirl over Hiddleston. In fact, these 13 stars might love Tom Hiddleston as much as you do.
J.K. Simmons
The actor spoke to Empire magazine about Kong: Skull Island and threw a lot of flattery Hiddleston’s way. “[At first] my response [to the movie was] ‘Why would anyone want to do that?’ But having met with the director and knowing that Tom Hiddleston was attached, I knew it had a good chance to be an extraordinary experience and a good chance of being great.”
If only we didn’t have to wait until 2017 to see it!
Mark Ruffalo
Ruffalo acted alongside Hiddleston in Avengers. But even though the two are enemies on screen, they’re good pals in real life. Or as Ruffalo himself says, “best friends.”

Benedict Cumberbatch
Friends since 2011, the pair has stayed close for all these years despite their equally busy schedules. "He’s an action man. He’s got the looks,” Cumberbatch once gushed about Hiddleston. “He’s an incredibly talented actor, and he’s one of the finest of our generation. And a friend.”
Chelsea Handler
The comedian welcomed Hiddles to her show in 2013 and was just as awe-struck as his Hiddlestoners. (She even made him turn around so she could check him out.)

Chris Hemsworth
if you look up the definition of “bromance” in the dictionary it will show a picture of Hiddleston and Hemsworth.
“There is a huge amount of bromantic love going on between [me] and Hemsworth. We immediately got on,” Hiddleston once said of his Thor co-star. “We both had the same sense of humor, this thing of like basically ribbing each other, basically taking the piss out of each other all the time. It was all about mutual ridicule and mutual mockery but also with an undercurrent of a lot of admiration and respect.”
Emma Watson
The Harry Potter star is a huge fan of Hiddleston, and when she was awarded GQ’s woman of the year award, she said she would have given man of the year to Hiddleston.
Natalie Portman
The Thor 2 stars grew close on set and Portman later said of Hiddleston, “[He’s] super talented and easy on the eyes, so it was quite a luxury to get to work with [him.]”
Hayley Atwell
The Agent Carter star has been his friend for 10 years and she’s desperate to get to work with him in some kind of Marvel crossover. “He has a beautiful voice,” she said. “He has an extraordinary theatrical voice, very clear. [He’s a] very intelligent actor.”
Jessica Chastain
She was Hiddleston’s co-star in Crimson Peak, and the two grew so close that she invited him along for her karaoke birthday party.
Tilda Swinton
She got to know Hiddleston during their time filming Only Lovers Left Alive, and had nothing but nice things to say of him. “I love [Tom!] He’s a friend of mine, he’s my pal, and he’s great,” Swinton shared with Popsugar.
Liam Payne
The One Direction singer loves Hiddleston so much that he named his dog Loki. When Hiddleston mentioned this fact in his MTV Movie Awards acceptance speech, Payne took to Twitter to express his excitement. “OK so just got up to find that @twhiddleston mentioned me and my dog in his speech. How amazing aha what a hero.”
Eddie Redmayne
The Theory of Everything star attended Eton and Cambridge with Hiddleston and is happy to consider the actor an old friend. They can often be spotted at Wimbledon together, being the tennis nerds they are.
Chris Evans
During the New York Comic Con panel for Avengers, Evans joked that he was flustered when answering a question because he “got lost in Tom’s glow.”
Don’t we all, Chris. Don’t we all.
