Tom Hiddleston Debuts His Original Audition for 'Thor' on 'Fallon' - Watch Here!

Tom Hiddleston made his first visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (November 25), and explained that he originally went for the role of Thor and not Loki.

The 38-year-old Marvel actor revealed that in 2009, when the first Thor movie was being cast, the process lasted three months, but ultimately it went to Chris Hemsworth.

“Basically, at the time, they were looking for sort of less well established actors so that the audience didn’t have an association,” Tom revealed. “They just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors. And the ream it was, if you’re over six foot and you’ve got blonde hair, you can come and have a pop at it. So, I never auditioned for Loki. I only ever auditioned for Thor, which is nuts.”

“We have friends over at Marvel that sent us the original audition footage of you,” Jimmy then shared. “This has never been shown! This has never been released.”

Hiddleston‘s response, after watching it back? “I think we can all agree that they cast the right actor.”
