We all have our favorite Hiddleston moments and maybe even some swoon-worthy scenes replayed in our heads, I can’t be the only one. But today, we’re about to embark on a delightful journey through some of his most iconic performances. Buckle up, folks!

Whether you’re Team Loki or a die-hard fan of his Shakespearean outings, here’s a roundup of 10 of Tom Hiddleston’s standout roles. And remember, while these are our top picks, the world of Hiddleston is vast and varied, and everyone’s list might be a tad different. Let’s dive in!

10. Hamlet in Hamlet (RADA production)

Imagine the grand stage of RADA, a hush falls over the audience, and in walks Tom Hiddleston – not as the playful Loki we’re so used to seeing him play right now, but as the tormented Prince of Denmark, Hamlet. We’re used to Hiddleston lighting up the big screen, except this time it was a live audience that got the treat of a lifetime.

Hiddleston’s Hamlet wasn’t just a performance; it was an experience. He went deep into the psyche of his character, making the audience laugh, cry, and contemplate all in the span of a few hours. His portrayal was raw, real, and riveting, showcasing a side of him many hadn’t seen before.

Taking on Shakespeare is no small feat, and Hamlet is often considered one of the most complex roles in all of theatre. Hiddleston’s rendition was hailed universally, not just for his impeccable delivery of those classic lines, but for the depth and vulnerability he brought to the character. It’s one thing to act in a film with the advantage of having multiple takes and edits, but on stage, it’s just the actor and their skills. Hiddleston’s Hamlet at RADA wasn’t just a play; it was a masterclass, reminding us once again why he’s one of the greatest in the acting world.
