Tom Hiddleston was voted the Most Attractive Man of 2013 by Hello! magazine readers in a recent poll, pulling 64% of the votes to beat Orlando Bloom and Eddie Redmayne for the No. 1 spot.

Jamie Dornan, Hugh Dancy, Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, Prince Harry, Johnny Depp, Olly Murs and Bradley Cooper rounded out the top 10.

The “Thor: The Dark World” actor has won several similar titles in the past few months.

Hiddleston, 32, was voted E! Online’s 2013 Celebrity of the Year, beating out “The Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder, Robert Downey, Jr. and Kate Middleton for the title.

E! Online writes: “Why do we think Tom is our Celeb of the Year? Well, we don't have enough space to talk about how funny, charming and completely captivating he is, both onscreen and off. For example, this montage of all the times he just had to dance for his adoring public. That's basically all you need to see to fall in love with him.

“Plus, this year Tom gave us a villainous performance we won't soon forget as Loki in Thor: The Dark World. And based on all the great projects he has lined up and the fact that Tom seems to only get more intriguing as time goes on, we know 2014 will be a great year for Hiddleston, too!”


Hiddleston was also named the Sexiest Man Alive in a recent MTV poll, beating out Justin Timberlake, Chris Hemsworth, Pharrell Williams, Aaron Paul, Kendrick Lamar, Michael Fassbender and One Direction.

TOM HIDDLESTON WINS 2013 CELEB OF THE YEAR: HIS 13 BEST MOMENTS FROM THE PAST YEAR

BUSTLE
By Martha Sorren
December 31, 2013



Tom Hiddleston is poised to win this year’s E! Online ‘Celeb of the Year’ contest. The winner will be announced tonight after he and competition Ian Somerhalder went head-to-head in a poll earlier this week. Hiddleston totally deserves to win after the year he’s had touring the world to promote Thor 2: The Dark World and making press stops look like the most fun in the world. Thank goodness he was Marvel’s PR monkey though, because that means we got a lot of Tom in 2013. Needless to say it was hard to choose just his top 13 moments, but I gave it a shot.

1. DANCING AND KNOCKING THINGS OVER
I could make a whole post just about best times Tom Hiddleston’s danced (hint: the answer is all the times), but I’ve chosen to focus on when he dances and it just so uncontrollably excited that he isn’t responsible for the damages he inflicts on inanimate objects. On the Asia leg of his tour he first introduced his moves to us and we felt like the chair he kicked over. But in a good way. We felt kicked over with delight.

2. THE SLUMBER PARTY 

Hiddles in pajamas sitting on a bed talking about the time he saw Chris Hemsworth naked and introducing the Snake Hips dance move to us? Yes please.

3. THAT TIME HE CRASHED COMIC CON
In full on Loki gear and then proceeded to give everyone in the room orders which they all obeyed because obviously.

4. HIS STINT ON KOREAN SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

I don’t know how they convinced him to do some of the sketches in this, but I’m glad they did because now we have an old woman titty-twisting Tom for posterity.

wembodyt

5. THAT TIME HE SURPRISED UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS WITH A THOR 2 SCREENING
Because he’s amazingly nice, he took time out of his schedule to throw a surprise screening of Thor 2 for some of New York City’s underprivileged children. They thought they were just lucky enough to see the movie, but also got to meet Hiddleston. “Oh my God, I screamed for my life,” 13-year-old Bryonnah Justinian said of the moment Hiddleston stepped onto the stage. But the best part about the actor is that it wasn’t even a chore for him. He said, “There are armies of people behind the scenes who do tireless work on behalf of children all over the world. So it’s nothing for me to turn up and introduce a screening for them.”

6. LOKI ARGUES WITH KIDS

Further proving that he’d be about the best dad ever, Hiddleston booked another gig with some kids to promote the movie. In the skit he argues with a bunch of children about why Loki is better than Thor. It’s truly precious.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Casting: Top 3 Contenders for Christian Grey Include Matt Bomer vs Henry Cavill, Ian Somerhalder Out of Running? E.L. James Hints News

By Jessica Durham , 

Fashion n Style Reporter

Jul 26, 2013 12:20 PM EDT

Fans are no doubt furious to hear that one of their top 3 contenders for Christian Grey in the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie is out of the running: Ian Somerhalder.

According to Us Weekly, sources said that E.L. James admitted that the 34-year-old "Vampire Diaries" star was out of the picture for being cast as 27-year-old sexy billionaire and BDSM-crazed Christian Grey.

"E.L. was at a Comic-Con party July 20 telling people the part won't go to Ian," a source said.

That leaves the most two favorite top contenders, Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill, still in the running [as far as fans are concerned] for the top role in the highly anticipated film. In other news, another fan-favorite, though not as big, Garrett Hedlund, turned down the role of Christian already.

"Doing a possible trilogy was too big a commitment, and producers wouldn't let him do just one film," said the source of Kirsten Dunst's boyfriend. So fans of the "On the Road" actor will not get to see him in the film either.

HENRY CAVILL '50 Shades of Grey' Movie Cast: Fan Favorite Henry Cavill Fits Christian Grey Role, Ian Somerhalder and Others Among Considered (LATINOS POST)

By Peter Lesser |

Immediately after the "50 Shades of Grey" targeted release date was announced, rumors and polls as to who would play the role of Anastasia ran rampant on the Internet, with Alexis Bledel topping the polls.

Now it's time to turn to Christian Grey. Henry Cavill is the current fan favorite, but there are a slew of actors being considered for the domineering role.

Fans believe Cavill is even dressing like Christian in hopes to catch E.L. James' eye. Cavill's 'Christian Grey-inspired' outfits to recent PR events have got people buzzing about his alleged interest in the role, according to Mstarz.

Emilia Clarke and Henry Cavill to be cast in Fifty Shades of Grey movie? (FAN SHARE)

However, two other stars who have regularly been linked as possible candidates for the lead roles in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie are Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke. Both stars are no strangers to getting their kit off, with Henry set to appear topless in the Man of Steel movie, while Emilia has appeared nude on more than the odd occasion in Game of Thrones.

'50 Shades of Grey' Movie: Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke as Ana and Christian? February 07, 2013 11:40 PM EST (ENTERTAINMENT)

by Aida Ekberg

Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel also made the list, and it's not hard to see why they're a favorite couple—they've been featured together in a few very popular fan-made trailers. However, they might be a little too old to play Christian and Ana since they're both in their thirties.

This leaves Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke as the best pairing. Henry is closer to being the right age to play Christian than Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder, and Emilia is the only actress out of the three on the list who has experience doing nude scenes. The 50 Shades film might even attract a crowd that's made up of more than lusty ladies if they get cast together—what geek wouldn't want to see the worlds of Game of Thrones and Man of Steel collide? Superman and Daenerys Targaryen would certainly make a powerful and pretty pair. And perhaps Henry and Emilia would bond over their shared experience of starring in throne-related TV series—Henry starred in The Tudors, which was about the life of King Henry VIII.

So do you think that Henry Cavill and Emilia Clarke would make the best 50 Shades pair?

'50 Shades of Grey' Front-Runners Emerge to Play Christian & We Can’t Stop Drooling Posted by Mary Fischer on January 31, 2013 at 11:27 AM (THE STIR)

OMG. How much longer are we going to have to wait before a casting announcement is made for the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? Speculation about who will land the roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey have been going on, well -- pretty much since the news broke that the book was going to be made into a film.

And enough is enough already. We're sick and tired of the name dropping. We're over the "will he or won't he" stuff. We want names, damnit. And we want 'em soon.

Fortunately, we may be one step closer to hearing some news, because two front-runners for Christian's role seem to have emerged.

Drum roll, please.

As of now, reports indicate that it's highly likely that either Ian Somerhalder or Henry Cavill will wind up playing Christian Grey.

Yeah, yeah, I know that neither one of them really comes as a huge surprise, because they've both been mentioned as possible Christians quite a few times in the past. But still -- it's kind of exciting to think that the field is narrowing a bit, right?

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Are Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill in the Lead to Play Christian? 1 about 19 hours ago by Ryan Gajewski

(Not even close - if you ask me!)

There are reportedly two lead candidates for the part of Christian Grey, and their names will make fans of The Vampire Diaries and Superman very happy.

Ian Somerhalder and Henry Cavill are currently being cited as the two most popular choices to play the male lead in the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey, according to IB Times.

Likewise, Celebrity Dirty Laundry refers to them as the "top contenders for the role." However, it is uncertain if this is indeed how producers are leaning.

Henry Cavill winning hearts and support for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' role (Photos) HENRY CAVILL FANPAGE!!! FIFTY SHADES OF GREY (EXAMINER)

The Henry Cavill Facebook Fanpage has over 23K followers and is growing daily. Although the site is not dedicated to the actor being cast as Christian Grey, the founders believe he would be a good choice. When asked about Henry being considered for the role they gave the following statement.

"Henry Cavill, above all other fan casted actors for this role, has the classic, timeless handsomeness to truly embody and manifest the enormity of impact that happens for women when in Christian's presence in E.L. James's "Fifty Shades of Grey". As Charles Brandon in Showtime's "The Tudors", Henry stole the screen as the Casanova Playboy. As Theseus in "Immortals (2011)" and as Will Shaw in "The Cold Light of Day (2012)" Henry proved he can play the tortured soul. Having seen Henry in person on three occasions, I can attest that the charisma Henry emanates is truly palpable. Everyone here at HCF believes that Henry would nail this role hands down if he is offered the opportunity and accepts it. Our fingers are crossed!"

Fans of the "Fifty Shades" trilogy are now picturing Cavill in the infamous playroom jeans, his popularity even surpassing Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer. Those who have long supported the above mentioned actors can see the appeal of Henry Cavill, especially after viewing online videos, his Dunhill Fragrance ad being the most popular. One "on the fence" fan tweeted about the ad, "trying to stay neutral who should play #Christian, many A+ actors, however this video screams Christian!"

Casting the "Fifty Shades" film is going to take time and as of yet there is not even a completed script or Director attached to the project. Fans are keeping up hope that Henry Cavill is being considered, especially amidst rumors of author E L James using him as inspiration for the character. There has also been some speculation that Producer Dana Brunetti's meeting with CAA last week was regarding Henry Cavill. The actor himself has spoke about the role saying, "whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made, it would be a very different kind of thing than Man of Steel." He also sparked casting rumors when he showed up to the Critic's Choice Awards with newly highlighted copper locks, reminiscent of Christian Grey's description in the novel.

'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Fans Call For Breakout Star Henry Cavill To Be Given RoleStar is closing in in the betting, and it seems in fans' hearts (E!)

BY MARK WORGAN ON JANUARY 8, 2013

Momentum is building behind the casting of Henry Cavill as Christian in 'Fifty Shades of Grey', with fans of the movie using his topping of a star of 2013 poll to try to campaign for his casting as the sexually dominant billionaire.

The British star is already set to don spandex this year on screen as Superman in 'Man of Steel', and the actor has now been named by Fandango.com in a fan poll as their 'Breakout Star of 2013'.

Speculation has also been sparked by a Dunhill perfume ad in which Cavill certainly looks the part as a Christian like character, and by the man himself who when asked about playing the S&M plutocrat told Details magazine: "Whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made. It would be a very different kind of thing than Man of Steel."

Fans are now promoting him as the guy to play Christian, and his odds are shortening having closed to 5/1 ahead of long term favourite Ian Somerhalder but behing Alex Pettyfer at 2/1 and Ryan Gosling at 4/1. Given that Gosling's beginning to take on directorial duties, Cavill may have an impressive shot at nabbing the part.

The star may have to battle it out with Aussie hunk Chris Hemsworth for the role though, as after raunching up his act in new movie 'Rush', rumours are rife that he could be a contender.

Fans of the actor and books seem to agree, with a number declaring their approval on Twitter, @Kaylarichoux wrote: "second time I'm read the fifty shades trilogy and I'm picturing Henry cavill as Christian. Life is perfect."

Henry Cavill vs. Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder December 06, 2012 05:15 AM EST (ENTERTAINMENT)

Member since:
April 6, 2011

The 50 Shades of Grey movie recently seemed to get a new favorite for the role of Christian Grey in Man of Steel star Henry Cavill.

The actor didn't say no to the role when he was asked about playing Christian during a recent interview, so he became the most talked about casting option for a few days. But can Superman defeat heavy favorites Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder?


A new poll on Latinos Post has pitted ten of the favorites for the role against each other, and it looks like Henry is having a hard time catching up to his competition—he's going to need to use a little of his Superman speed to surpass the votes that Matt and Ian are getting.

Right now Ian Somerhalder is winning the poll with over 40 percent of the vote, and he's so far ahead that Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill couldn't beat him if they combined their votes together. Matt has about 28 percent of the vote while Henry is far behind at about 8 percent. Alexander Skarsgard is in fourth place with a little over 6 percent, and Ryan Gosling is trailing him closely with 5.5 percent.

Henry has a lot in common with Matt and Ian looks-wise. All the guys have angular jawlines that Anastasia Steele could use to saw her handcuffs off with, and they all have sexy eyes and buff bods. So why can't Henry catch up to his competition for the 50 Shades of Grey movie?

Henry Cavill: '50 Shades of Grey' Movie Casting News Soon? James Asks Fans to Pick Christian November 29, 2012 03:20 PM EST (GATHER ENTERTAINMENT)

by Aida Ekberg

The 50 Shades of Grey movie casting fever once got so hot that the film producers and author E. L. James tried to get fans to cool it—according to them, any casting news was still way too far off for fans to be so frenzied.

At times it has seemed like James and the producers find all the casting speculation a little annoying, and they've avoided talking about the casting process too much. So after putting all this effort into keeping fans calm, why in the world would E. L. James start fanning the flames by asking Fifty fans who they want to see as Christian Grey?


According to Entertainmentwise, the author whipped fans into a Twitter frenzy by asking them, "who do you want to play Christian Grey in the movie?" Their feedback included the likes of heavy favorites Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer, but now Man of Steel star Henry Cavill is also getting a bit more attention. The sexy new Superman was recently asked about starring in the 50 Shades of Grey movie, and he coyly responded by saying, "Whether that happens, that decision will be made at the time it has to be made."

Maybe Henry Cavill's comment had something to do with why James tweeted what she did. It's possible that Henry has been in talks to star in the movie and that James is trying to keep fans from focusing on his comments too much with her Twitter distraction. Asking Fifty fans who they want to see as Christian Grey makes it seem like no casting talks have been going on.

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Henry Cavill Over Ian Somerhalder For Christian? Fans Sound Off! about 1 hour ago by Gina Carbone (WET PAINT)

Who needs an official Fifty Shades of Grey film when there are dozens of fake ones out there right now on YouTube?

Creative fans have been very busy posting sexy trailers, with their favorite actors and actresses playing Christian and Anastasia. Handbag.com ranked its favorite Fifty Shades trailers, based possibly on choice of music and clever editing as much as which actors best represent the characters.

It does seem like the top names coming up for Christian Grey are Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer, but Handbag.com is making a good case for Henry Cavill (The Tudors, Man of Steel). Handbag's #1 was this trailer featuring Henry as Christian and Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) as Ana. Watch it here. Fair warning: We’re talking about Fifty Shades, so expect some raunchy images in all of these trailers.
