Our first guest tonight is the god of mischief sometimes.

Now he is playing a guy named Chuck.

The Life of Chuck is in select theaters Friday and everywhere on June 13.

Please welcome Tom Hiddleston.

I'm going to wrap this up.

I'm going to wrap it up.

Let's see.

Hey, wait.

What are we doing?

Please sit here.

You're so polite, it's delaying the show.

Sorry.

My apologies.

Very good to see you.

How are you?

I'm really well.

You know, your pal from Loki Owen Wilson was here last night.

I heard.

Yeah.

You guys are friends, right?

Yes, yeah.

We see each other all the time.

like when did it happen for you like i assume you're a kid

when you're like oh i'm i'm an entertainer i can like i can do this kind of stuff

when did it click for you honestly i used to mess around

so much when i was a child um i did a couple of school plays

but i actually as a child of the 80s

and someone who was in about i was 10 in 1991

i had a um a double uh cassette tape deck boom box And I had,

I went up into the,

like, up to the top room in our house,

and I would, I would make my own radio show for an audience of one, which was me.

Uh-huh.

Were you imitating, like, the local radio station?

I'd be the DJ.

I'd be the weather guy.

I'd be the traffic and travel.

I'd, like, I'd do, like, different segments.

I'd do interviews.

And also I'd, like, play,

like, you know, MC Hammer and Paula Abdul and, uh...

So you had two cassette players, so you're doing.. and then you're going and hit and play on the...

Hit and play on the other one,

and it's recording at the same time.

So I was like, yeah, it was...

Listen, it was, um...

Did you have a DJ name?

I don't remember the DJ name,

but I remember the radio station was Piffy Whiffy FM.

Where did that come from?

I was ten years old.

That's my disclaimer.

Um, I guess I thought it sounded cool.

Did you ever call into radio stations as a kid?

I really wanted to.

You didn't, though.

Yeah.

Did you have, do you still have the tapes,

those cassette tapes of those?

Yeah, I do.

Yeah, I do like, you know,

I flip in and out of accents.

I do.

The weatherman is Scottish.

Traffic and travel is Irish.

Yeah, it was, it was super fun.

Would you play that for your family ever?

Yes.

You would, yeah.

And they were like, oh, yeah.

And they would just patiently listen.

Uh-huh.

Thank you, Tom.

Yeah, sounds good.

We'll make sure to avoid the motorway tomorrow.

All right, so now you've come quite a long way since The Attic.

The last time we saw Loki,

and you know I have to ask you about this,

I mean, I know you've signed some kind of blood oath or whatever,

but Loki was holding all the timelines in the multiverse.

Still is.

Okay, all right, that's something.

I mean, we haven't seen him do anything different.

Is this going to be a major part of Avengers Doomsday?

You see, this is why I run out of rope, Jimmy.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

We always do this dance, you and me.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

I know.

Nobody ever answers.

I don't even know why I ask anymore.

I don't really know.

I mean, there's something.

I don't know what they're threatening you guys with.

I can exclusively tell you that I will be there.

100

You will be there.

101

That's good.

102

Hey, that's something. Because...

103

It is something, and I'll tell you why.

104

And I'll tell you why,

105

because the cast of Thunderbolts was here,

106

and they were too scared to say they were going to be in the movie,

107

even though Marvel had already publicly confirmed that they were in the movie.

108

I know.

109

Are there now, do you still have to have these conversations with them,

110

or do they just kind of trust that you're going to keep quiet as far as they can work?

111

Well, I didn't even know they were going to,

112

there was that, there was the big thing they released of all the names on the back of the chairs.

113

They didn't tell you before.

114

I didn't know.

115

I was like, oh, I guess I'm in the movie.

116

In fairness, I did know I was in the movie.

117

You did know, yeah.

118

But I'm so used to not knowing I'm in the movie.

119

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

120

That you, yeah, just keep quiet until otherwise.

121

It was a relief.

122

Yeah, I had to wait a while.

123

There were a few other chairs.

124

You were, um, where were you?

125

You were in Nepal, right?

126

I've just come from Nepal.

127

You just came from Nepal.

128

Yeah.

129

Where you were climbing Mount Everest.

130

Well.

131

I was, yeah, what we're doing is we're making a film about Tenzing Norgay and Ed Hillary.

132

And you call him Ed, huh?

133

You guys are that close?

134

He's always been an Edmund to me.

135

Right, right, OK, yeah.

136

I think his friends called him Ed.

137

Ed Hillary.

138

They probably did call him Ed, yeah.

139

They're probably like, oh, Edmund,

140

oh, you're a big shot now.

141

Edmund, up at the top of the mountain.

142

Well, maybe he was Edmund after he climbed to the top of the mountain and Ed before.

143

Yeah.

144

But yeah, we're making a film about that ascent,

145

the first ascent to the summit of Mount Everest in 53.

146

And we were out in Nepal for,

147

I was there for five weeks.

148

Oh, there you are.

149

There I am.

150

Wow, you're dressed very current to be Ed Hillary.

151

Are you Ed Hillary?

152

That's me, that's me on a,

153

we went on a trek.

154

Gendon Puntsock, who's playing Tenzing Norgay,

155

and I, just the two of us and two amazing men,

156

two Sherpas who've summited Everest.

157

They took us on a trek from Lukla Airport to almost to Everest Base Camp.

158

How many days did that take?

159

It was five days.

160

And it was, I have to say,

161

like, the most extraordinary place,

162

the most beautiful, serene, inspiring landscape I've ever seen.

163

It was really breathtaking.

164

Where do you sleep when you're on the mountain?

165

You sleep at local guest houses and tea houses.

166

Oh, so there are, like, homes along the way.

167

Yeah, there are, because it's a long way.

168

It takes about two weeks to get to base camp,

169

and then another probably three or four weeks to summit,

170

if that's what you're going to do.

171

But people can go to base camp.

172

And honestly, if you ever get a chance to do it, it's um...

173

I won't.

174

I definitely won't.

175

I won't.

176

I mean, I know that's a different type of people.

177

Right.

178

Because you have to train for something like that, right?

179

Yeah.

180

Yeah, I don't do that.

181

Okay, okay.

182

Yeah, no, yeah.

183

I get tired fast.

184

Okay.

185

It's a lot of walking.

186

It's a big leg day every day.

187

What'd you do to train for that?

188

Just that.

189

I mean, I did a lot of running.

190

How do you get trained for the altitude?

191

You can't.

192

That's the most amazing thing.

193

You just hope for the best.

194

I mean, if you're fit and you take it slow,

195

then you should be OK.

196

Yeah, no, neither one of those things.

197

Well, I can take it slow, for sure.

198

All right.

199

We come back, and we're going to talk about your new movie,

200

which is terrific, by the way.

201

It's called The Life of Chuck.

202

Tom Hiddleston is with us.

203

We'll be right back.

204

That's Tom

205

Hale singing on Life with Chuck,

206

which opens at Southampton's on Friday.

207

Man, that's just a small portion of that dance scene.

208

Yeah.

209

This is a really, I found it to be a very enjoyable film to watch.

210

It's a Stephen, based on a Stephen King novella.

211

Yes, that's right.

212

And you, did you know how to moonwalk going into this?

213

I did not.

214

That is something I have always wished I could do, is moonwalk.

215

How did you learn to moonwalk? With great dedication.

216

And sort of like anxiety.

217

It's specified specifically in that, in the novella.

218

Like, there's a, so I play Chuck.

219

And you meet Chuck and he's,

220

he seems for all the world like a,

221

you know, a mild-mannered accountant,

222

Mr. Businessman dressed in a business suit with the business briefcase on his way to the business conference,

223

staying at the business hotel.

224

And in that moment, he,

225

it's a great surprise because you think you know who this guy is.

226

And he sets down his briefcase to the beat of the drums by this busking drummer.

227

And he finds himself just spontaneously dancing.

228

and she doesn't expect it and he doesn't expect it

229

and it's this explosion of joy and freedom and spontaneity

230

and you learn that later you learn

231

that he was this great dancer at middle school

232

and his grandmother uh taught him how to dance

233

and it was a real part of his heart

234

and his life um anyway in the book stephen king goes it

235

that it sort of um it completely surprises the drama

236

that he just unbuttons his jacket and moon walks across the sidewalk um

237

so i was like if stephen Stephen King wrote it,

238

then I must do it.

239

I think it's probably very,

240

it's probably even harder to moonwalk on the sidewalk, isn't it?

241

If it's asphalt in Alabama, for sure.

242

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

243

And that's where you were, right?

244

That's where we were, yeah.

245

We were down in Alabama in the autumn sunshine.

246

But it was like, I've never had an experience like it.

247

It was so joyful.

248

It was so kind of free and such a celebration.

249

It felt like a unique experience.

250

How many times did you have to do it?

251

I lost count, but we did it for four days.

252

Oh, wow.

253

Yeah, yeah.

254

We went through a few of those blue shirts.

255

Yeah, right, yeah.

256

I would imagine.

257

Yeah.

258

They keep getting mopped off.

259

But I was so proud of myself.

260

By the end of the week,

261

I had burned holes in the soles of my shoes. For real? For real.

262

And now Mike Flanagan has them.

263

He loves collecting memorabilia from movies.

264

And somewhere next to, like,

265

the Wilson volleyball from Cast Away,

266

he's got my shoes with holes in the middle.

267

It sounds like a new Stephen King book,

268

The Guy Who Burns holes through his shoes.

269

That's a great.. that's a good title.

270

Yeah, yeah.

271

Your grandfather in the movies played.. well,

272

you're played by a kid.

273

Your character's grandfather is Mark Hamill.

274

That's right.

275

Yeah, it's a beautiful character.

276

Which makes you...

277

Darth Vader's grandson.

278

Who knew that Darth Vader's grandson was called Chuck?

279

In my room, why not?

280

Chuck Vader.

281

Sounds good.

282

Sounds good.

283

Chuck Bader, yeah.

284

But Jimmy, you became a grandfather recently.

285

That is right.

286

Congratulations.

287

Congratulations to you.

288

Seriously.

289

Thank you.

290

I appreciate that, yeah.

291

How do you feel?

292

I feel fine.

293

I feel good.

294

You know, it's easy, kind of, being a grand.

295

It's easier than being a father and having to breastfeed and all that.

296

But it's really, like, to bring it,

297

like, what I find,

298

knowing this now like i saw the film again last night we had our our premier here in los angeles

299

and um and mark by the way gives the most tender

300

and touching performance and um as as alby as chuck's grandfather

301

and what this kind of what the film is about is is

302

that there's so much love and wisdom um

303

that chuck carries from his grandfather in his heart for the rest of his life And,

304

you know, on the path of life,

305

we encounter all kinds of obstacles,

306

you know, uh, grief and loss,

307

but actually, um.. the joy we carry is the love we shared from the people who raised us.

308

Did you know your grandparents?

309

I did.

310

You did, yeah, that's nice, yeah.

311

You liked them?

312

They were the best.

313

Yeah.

314

Which was the best one?

315

Do you feel in competition with the other grandparents?

316

There's definitely a ranking in my head. Is there...?

317

Oh, you've obviously...

318

Well, no, that's not my decision to make.

319

That is my granddaughter's decision to make.

320

But trust me, I will do all I can to be numero uno.

321

Okay.

322

So, my maternal grandfather, my mother's dad,

323

used to take me swimming in the ocean,

324

and I never forgot that.

325

And he was so brave and so free out there.

326

And my dad's dad, my paternal grandfather,

327

every time we met until his last days,

328

when I said goodbye, he would give me a packet of mint Imperials and a five-pound note.

329

And it was just so, like, sweet.

330

I mean, how fleeting.

331

He would just give me these mints.

332

As an adult, he would still give you money?

333

Or was this just as a kid?

334

Yeah, yeah.

335

He would still give you money?

336

It was just his way of saying,

337

I'm looking out for you.

338

I got your back.

339

My dad's dad did something even sweeter than that, I think.

340

He taught me to shoplift.

341

You know what I'm saying?

342

I mean, I could get.. have all the mints and all the five-pound notes.

343

It's like.. you teach a man to fish.

344

It's really a two-for-one.

345

It's sort of a two-for-one scenario there.

346

Tom Hiddleston, everybody.

347

The Life of Chups.

348

Open to Select The Universe Friday and everywhere the following Friday.

349

Thank you, Tom.

350

352

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
