Just when we thought we couldn’t love Tom Hiddleston anymore, he’s gone and surpassed himself with the ALS ice bucket challenge.
The ice bucket challenge, social media’s latest craze, is designed to raise money and awareness for the neurodegenerative illness ALS.
It seems to have struck a chord with a number of celebrities who are only too eager to take up the challenge and nominate others to do so… even those they call their best friends.
The latest celebrity to create an internet storm with their video of being drenched in ice cold water is Tom Hiddleston.
The internet world went crazy when the popular actor took to the garden to fulfil his nomination request set by GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY star, Nathan Fillion.
The 33-year-old bravely withstood the cold temperatures and looked thoroughly shocked as he was dowsed in the water and filmed it for the whole world to see, which of course sent the world of social media crazy…
There were several reasons why the world of Twitter went crazy during the fulfilment of this challenge:
1) The choice of clothing by Mr Hiddleston:
2) He nominated three of his friends and popular actors – Benedict Cumberbatch, Luke Evans and as revealed in the full video, Helena Bonham Carter.
We can practically imagine a hoard of fans glued to their computers waiting for their nomination challenge to be completed and filmed/photographed, then prepare for an internet meltdown…
Will this turn into a wet t-shirt competition amongst his friends if Benedict Cumberbatch and Luke Evans accept the challenge? I think their fandom are squealing with delight at the prospect… Earplugs at the ready!
Should they post their videos and photos, prepare for an internet explosion in 3, 2, 1…
