Tom Hiddleston's Favorite Childhood Superhero: Superman!

Tom Hiddleston signs autographs for his fans outside of his hotel on Saturday (September 22) in Madrid, Spain.

The 31-year-old Avengers actor recently revealed who his favorite superhero was during his childhood.

“As a kid, I loved Superman,” Tom told SFX Magazine. “For me, Christopher Reeve as Superman was the first superhero. I sat smack-bang in the middle of the audience for that movie. I was the right age at the right time, and I spent a lot of my childhood playing Superman games in the playground.”
