" The boys are REALLY into superheroes at the moment so I’ve just blown their minds with this throwback to 2008...mummy with Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hiddleston at the end of our run of Ivanov at The Wyndhams. Working with these two incredible humans and our wonderful company will always be up there as a career highlight! ❤️🙌🏼 @donmarwarehouse "

" 'Remember that name. One day that lad is going to be a star, and deservedly so,' urged one critic, following Hiddleston's dual role as Cloten and Posthumus in Cheek by Jowl's production of Cymbeline. "

" For his Cassio in the Donmar Warehouse production of Othello, he was deemed 'first-rate' and 'a name to watch'. "

" A contemporary of Tom Hiddleston's at Rada describes him as 'very talented, very charming, aristocratic hair'. "

" 'Tom has a number of things that come very naturally to him,' Michael Grandage, the director of Othello and Ivanov, says. 'His height [6ft 1in], his look, how he carries himself. Plus he has an exceptional ear for making language that is 450 years old sound alive, which is why I cast him in Othello. The reason he is in Ivanov is that I enjoyed working with him so much and found to my delight how astonishingly versatile he is.' "

" Hiddleston himself proves bright, eloquent, easy company; and today sports a glowing tan (from two weeks spent visiting his sister in India) plus a goatee beard, which he has grown for his role as Lvov, the self-righteous doctor in Ivanov. "

'I thought theatre people wouldn't see me if I hadn't trained. I didn't want to just be the Brideshead guy, to spend the rest of my life wearing waistcoats.' Hiddleston relished the experience. 'I got the chance to try everything. Not just Romeos, but pimps and grandfathers and even one role as a woman in a Naomi Wallace play called Slaughter City.'
