Thor: The Dark World, you’ve
been quite a busy bee this year.
[Tom Laughs] You’ve got Only
Lovers Left Alive coming out on
21st February in the UK which
has a star-studded cast. Tilda
Swinton, John Hurt, Anton
Yelchin. What was it like working
with them?
They’re an amazing bunch of people and I feel very lucky to have
been able to work with them all.
Then you’re off back on stage
playing the title role in Coriolanus, are you looking forward to
it?
Yeah, I’m really excited to be back
on stage. We’re playing at the National Theatre which is exciting in
itself because it’s the 50th anniversary of the place this year. My
friend BenedictCumberbatch?
Yeah – I keep forgetting everyone
knows who my friends are. Anyway, he was a part of a massive
celebration they put on for it and it
was amazing. I’m also looking forward to working with Mark Gatiss
who is also in the play.
Another thing you’re in is
the new Muppets film
that’s coming out.
[Tom Laughs] Yes, yeah that’s
true.
How did all that come about?
Well, I got a call from my agent and
they said to me “What's the show
you always use to watch as a kid”
so I said “The Muppets” and they
said “Yeah well they have a small
part for you in the new Muppets
film if you’re interested” so I said
yes and my agent hung up and I
started getting really excited.
“I’ve had so much fun and
I don’t want it to end…”
And is it true you got star struck
by Kermit the Frog?
[Tom Laughs] Yeah, that’s true
too. I kind of got caught up in all the
excitement and I heard him go
[puts on Kermit voice] “Ladies
and Gentlemen...” and I just
thought ‘Oh my god, that’s Kermit
the Frog out there’ then the curtains pulled back and I just had to
go ‘I’m so sorry I have no idea what
I’m supposed to be doing’. But they

were all really sweet about it and
Kermit came up to me and he was
like [puts on Kermit voice] “Oh
my god that’s so unprofessional”
and “Y’know, we’re all performers
and y’know, just... just get on with
the show”.
[Looking over to Luke Winsor
frantically gesturing at Tom] Is
that our final question countdown?
Yes, I think so.
Okay then – final question.
You’ve done alot of good stuff
whilst promoting Thor: The Dark
World. Which bit was your favourite?
Oh, good question! Urm... going
round to all the different countries
(China, Korea, Australia) was pretty
amazing. So was the response I
got when I went to San Diego Comic Con. Meeting the Cookie Monster, filming the adverts for Comedy
Central, filming Loki’d Returns and
The Slumber Party with Josh Horowitz for MTV, it’s all been pretty
good. I don’t think I could possibly
pick a favourite but I have had
so much fun and I don’t want it
to end.
