“Eight years ago, I was traveling a lot with a touring theater company called Cheek by Jowl. We traveled all over the world with productions of classical plays. I would come back to London, and I had a flat. I started to feel uncomfortable in this flat. I didn’t really recognize who owned all that stuff.
On the advice of a friend of mine, whom you may know—[actress] Rebecca Hall—I got rid of all of my stuff. I took 33 bin liners (trash bags) of secondhand clothes to a charity shop. I sold all my furniture. I put my books in storage.
I decided to live out of just two suitcases for 12 months. It was the most enjoyable year of my life, because I felt free and available. That was an instructive year for me.” – Tom Hiddleston
I love this. And I wonder if some of this experience has remained with him, and hence his re-wearing,re-wearing and re-wearing of the same old clothes, and the delight some of us get from that.
But I love that he stored his books.
Priorities, my friends.
If that scene didn’t do anything for you, we can’t be friends.
