Tom Hiddleston Says This One Role Changed Everything for Him
The actor said fatherhood changed his life and made him feel more alive as he promoted his new film Tenzing.
- Actor Tom Hiddleston, 45, revealed in Esquire UK that becoming a father has "completely changed my life," calling parenthood "the most important role I'll ever play." The November/December issue is on sale from October 14.
- Hiddleston and his fiancée, actress Zawe Ashton, met while co-starring in the 2019 play Betrayal and became engaged in 2022. The couple welcomed their first child that year and their second in 2025.
- Reflecting on his journey, Hiddleston added, "I don't think I could have ever been prepared for how your heart expands, becoming a parent." He said fatherhood has made him feel "more alive" since welcoming his children.
- Currently starring in the Apple TV biographical drama Tenzing, which premieres on Friday, Hiddleston is balancing family life with his established role as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
- Despite his global fame, Hiddleston explained he tries to "keep my feet on the ground" by viewing experiences "from my point of view in a very ordinary way." This approach helps him remain grounded as a public figure and parent.
