some additional behind the scenes/unreleased images from the photoshoot:
Accompanying the photoshoot is an interview by Sanjiv Bhattacharaya. As with most profile pieces, the majority is just giving background on Tom's roles and how he got his start in the industry. Tom talks about his preparation for I Saw the Light, Kong: Skull Island, The Night Manager, and High-Rise - going so far to view an autopsy.
My favorite Tom quote from the piece: “I believe that nothing is certain and fixed, so you have to make the best efforts to treasure things, and not fall into the trap of letting things be destroyed. Because they can be.”
Several of Tom's co-stars also offered quotes:
“Tom never stops running. Before work, after work, during work. And it adds hugely to the common tank of energy that a film crew runs on. Every time someone yawns, or scratches their arse, the crew leaks a little energy — Tom’s the one who tops it up... he’s much brighter than a good-looking man ought to be.” - Hugh Laurie
“He’s a generous spirit.. As an actor, he always says, ‘you don’t think about yourself. You think about who’s in front of you. You’re trying to get them to respond.’ He’s a deeply kind person.” - Elizabeth Olsen
During Thor, Branagh recalls the young actor as “a bit scared and vulnerable, and at times pretty lonely. I think he withstood isolation pangs that might have thrown some people. But what I admire about Tom is he’s not trying to present the idea that a tortured individual lives alongside this gilded youth. He has a lot of the personal challenges that most people have, but he doesn’t look for sympathy by trying to convince people that there’s trouble in the kingdom.”
