Your support makes all the difference.Tom Hiddleston has addressed conspiracy theories about his relationship with Taylor Swift in a forthright manner.
Hollywood's newest power couple dubbed Hiddleswift have attracted global attention with their open displays of affection for each other.
Their jaunts around the world have been breathlessly documented by tabloids and gossip sites grateful for a new romance to latch onto. In a moment of acute self-awareness, Hiddleston decided to parody the situation by wearing an “I love Taylor Swift” t-shirt.
But their highly-publicised world tour has also prompted suggestions this whirlwind romance is actually just part of filming for her forthcoming music video. That it could simply be a piece of performance art has proved to be one of the most convincing theories - until now.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter shortly after being nominated for an Emmy, Hiddleston firmly quashed rumours.
“How best to put this? That notion is — look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy. Thanks for asking. That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt.”
