NYCC 2011 Avengers Panel Tom Hiddleston Looooves Horses

Tom's response to my friend Nechama's question of what was his favourite Norse myth involving Loki. His answer was the one concerning Svadilfari and the birth of Sleipnir. The one where Loki has sex with a horse and gives birth to an eight legged foal. He's so cute when he tries to get around actually saying Loki has sex with a horse.

[LadySephirothKayla]

ahahahah he is so cute!! X°°D

[trulymadlydeeplyful]

He chose that myth because Loki tried to save Asgard etc. etc.

Poor poor Tom and pervy fan girls LOL

I LOVED how his silver tongue turned to lead here! I'd imagine he realized after he said it that maybe he doesn't want to say "loki had sex as a female horse" and then pretended to trip it up. He's so well spoken and educated. Its wonderful to see him in this clip!!!!!!!! He is absolutely ADORKABLE! I love it! :-D

Tom... why... WHY would you pick that myth? WHY?

For anyone curious: “[...] When it looked as if the giant would succeed, Loki disguised himself as a mare and lured the stallion away, preventing the wall from being completed. The mare later gave birth to an eight-legged horse called Sleipnir, which Loki gave as a gift to Odin.” mythencyclopedia [dot] com [slash] Le-Me [slash] Loki.html
