Tom Hiddleston could be about to portray one of Britain’s richest men, the identity of whom may surprise you. Born in 1925 Paul Raymond was a British success story, making his fortune in property he moved into the fledgling porn business in the sixties, and the rest, as they say, is history. With a portfolio of publications that included Men Only, Mayfair and schoolboy favourite Razzle, he was the king of porn as well as Soho.
Based on the book The King Of Soho, written by Raymond’s son Howard, the upcoming film will aim to tell the story of the man behind the porn. It’s a project that’s been in gestation for some time it seems, apparently waiting for the right actor to come along. According to Howard Raymond Hiddleston is that man. With his recent performances in War Horse, Avengers and the Deep Blue Sea, Hiddlestons star is definitely in the ascendant, but can he play the godfather of British porn? Only time will tell.
