Tom Hiddleston’s break from acting in films came after “a moment of consideration” for the actor.
Just two months away from making a comeback as Loki in the upcoming Disney+ seriesLoki, the 40-year-old British star toldEmpire, “A few things crossed my path and I thought carefully about them, but they didn’t feel quite right, so I didn’t do them.”
Time away from a film set allowed Hiddleston more time at home, something for which he expressed appreciation.
“I’d been playing so many different people in so many different parts of the world, and it’s very important to distinguish what’s real and in one’s own life, and look after those things,” Hiddleston said. “Because if you don’t look after them, they can be lost, or they can be marginalized, and then you come home one day and they’re not there anymore.”

“She says life is about surviving things, appreciating nature, nurturing kindness and friendship, and dancing,” he said. “So perhaps, in the moment, I needed to come back and do it. I don’t know, to be honest, that I danced a lot. I should have danced more. But I’m sure there are some people who’d say I’ve danced far too much.”
