TOM HIDDLESTON
IS 'CAPA'
Now you already know how much HOLLYWOOD SPY adores Tom Hiddleston (especially after he blessed your Dezzy that one time :). Out dear Hiddlestud has a new gig: after becoming the legendary villain in THOR, he will now play a hero. He took the lead role in CAPA biopic, a film about the famous war photographer Robert Capa, a Hungarian kicked out of Hungary for writing against Fascism, who then moved to Germany where he was kicked out for being Jewish, then he moved to France and from there began a life-long commitment to make a stand against forces of fascism. The film will also have a female role, since it follows Capa and his partner Gerda Taro when they went to cover Spanish Civil War. Gemma Arterton was previously connected to the role.

DeleteHiddlestud is definitely the adjective for Tom. God, what a gorgeous hunk and so nice, too. That's why he is such a great actor. He can make us loathe him, yet always adore him. It's great to see him play a hero, though.
