Tom Hiddleston, (my future husband, everyone else can back off) the British actor well known for starring in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently revealed a clip of him as country singer Hank Williams in the biopic, I Saw The Light. The clip shows Hiddleston singing in a damn convincing southern accent and really bringing the Williams out.
The clip shows Hiddleston re-creating Williams’ April 1947 session in Nashville that produced the hit “Move It On Over,” thus establishing Williams as a country legend.
The film will hit theaters Nov. 27, 2015. You can watch the clip below:
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the first clip from I SAW THE LIGHT. @TIFF_NET tomorrow! #MoveItOnOver https://t.co/0xC30AghNF
