He explained as to how it had been the review of a play he was a part of. The review was one that he deemed to be the harshest piece he had read about himself.
“I was in a play. I had never ever been professionally reviewed and in the paper the next day was a British theatre critic who said that I was completely out of place, too young, too RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), and projecting about as much masculinity as Graham Norton.”
It was regarding how he seemed to be extremely out of place in the play. He also was told to have too lack of experience because of his young age. Alongside that, Hiddleston was told to be an actor who seemed to be too involved in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. However, that was not a term meant to be of praise.
Tom Hiddleston was Deemed Not Masculine Enough
When Tom Hiddleston went on to explain the way in which the reviewer, who took to a newspaper to elaborate on the play also disliked the actor’s manner of masculinity. Speaking on the Graham Norton Show, he added that, ironically enough, it was the host of the talk show that he was compared with.
Although everyone present laughed at the comment, including the namesake Norton himself, it was a term used to humiliate Hiddleston. Despite it all, both he and the host of the show are famous through and through. Even Samuel L. Jackson, who happened to be present during the interview, found himself bewildered upon hearing that comment.
