thehumming6ird:H I D D L E S W E E K 2018 Day Five: Role You’d Like to See Tom In ~“I’d really love to see if I could do a romantic comedy, because I think they’re really challenging and I think it would be really fun…” ~ Tom Hiddleston (2015)I would love to see ‘RomComTom’, simply because it would be a whole new facet we haven’t seen before, and I admire actors who takes risks. Tom has excellent comedic timing, a healthy dose of sass and isn’t afraid of a challenge. And of course he has the looks to play the romantic lead. Which Is why I would adore seeing him play ‘Joshua Templeman’, from the book: The Hating Game. It’s a thoroughly modern role. Sassy and Sexy. Joshua (literally) towers over his work ‘nemesis’ Lucy as they face off against one another in a daily ritual of one-upmanship and pettiness, but there’s also a compelling emotional depth to the story. (I hasten to add, I have no idea if there are even movie rights to this book, but it’s such a hilarious take on the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope, and for some reason - probably the height thing tbf - I couldn’t help but picture Tom as Joshua when I was reading it.) Here’s a brief extract:“When I’m your boss, I’m going to work you so fucking hard,” Joshua’s voice is dirty and rough. I am struggling to keep up with him now, but I make myself. Some of my tea spatters onto the carpet. “When I’m your boss, you’re going to do everything I say with a big smile on your face.” I nod politely at Marnie and Alan as we pass them. We round the corner like racehorses. “When I’m your boss, any more than three mistakes in your financial calculations will result in an official warning.” I mutter under my breath but he still hears me. “When I’m your boss, I’m going to be convicted of murder.” “When I’m your boss, I’m implementing a corporate support uniform policy. No more of your weird little retro costumes. I’ve already got it circled in the Corporate Wear catalog. A gray shift dress.” He pauses for effect. “Polyester. It’s supposed to be knee length, so it should reach your ankles.” I am insanely sensitive about my height and I absolutely hate synthetic fibers. I open my mouth and a cute animal growl comes out. I hustle ahead and bump the glass door open to the executive suites with my hip. “Is that what it would take for you to stop lusting after me?” I snap and he looks up at the ceiling and lets out a huge sigh. “You got me, Shortcake.” “Oh, I’ve got you all right.” We’re both breathing a little harder than the situation warrants. We each set down our mugs and face off….*Drags this back out for reasons* -- source link
