MCU star Tom Hiddleston surprises the tennis world with his Roger Federer fanboy moment
In the glittering world of Hollywood, it is normal for stars to often keep collaborating with each other. Because of such normalcy, it’s not very usual to hear about a leading actor turning into a fanboy for any different famous personality. Tom Hiddleston, famously known throughout the world for his amazing character ‘Loki’ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently narrated an amazing incident involving none other than tennis legend Roger Federer.
The 42-year-old English actor, whose fanbase extends far beyond just Hollywood, stated, “I don’t think so” when asked about any incidents of requesting autographs or photos with co-stars. However, as he kept thinking, the Superhero recalled about a specific exception that happened four years ago at the US Open.
After a short break to take a thought, Hiddleston mentioned, “We ran into Roger Federer, and I was completely overwhelmed because I love Roger Federer, and he was so gracious and so sweet.” Although he also remarked the whole feeling was a bit silly for asking, Hiddleston couldn’t resist capturing the moment with a photograph.
Presenting his moment of awe at meeting Federer and his team, Hiddleston added, “It was an incredible experience. Meeting someone you admire so much and finding them not only talented but also genuinely kind—it’s a rare and heartwarming combination.” This intriguing revelation acted as a perfect headline for both Federer as well as Loki fans. However, Hiddleston is not the only superhero who has been associated with the Swiss Maestro.
