'Thor: The Dark World's' Tom Hiddleston Talks Loki and Vampire Movie 'Only Lovers Left Alive'

There is a lot more to actor Tom Hiddleston than a horned helmet and an over the top desire to rule mankind. Best known to American audiences for his role as Loki in Thor: The Dark World, the 32-year-old is a highly accomplished actor. From supervillain to Shakespeare, the War Horse can do it all. Fan girls everywhere are eager to get a bite of him in his new vampire movie, Only Lovers Left Alive.

In his upcoming project, Only Lovers Left Alive, actor Tom Hiddleston plays a suicidal vampire named Adam. Hiddleston recently spoke with The Daily Beast about his portrayal of the immortal rocker and his undying love for beloved Eve:

"So much of our definition of love, as a human race, is founded upon the rock of the idea of mortality—the idea that we know we’re going to die. So, you want to find someone to share your life with because you know it’s short. But what if your life was not short? What if it was eternal? How would that change the way that you love, and the way that you see and accept your lover?"

Hiddleston couldn't get out of the interview without discussing his role as Loki in the Thor/Avengers movies:

"What’s interesting is it’s a new dynamic. In Thor, I was the antihero who turned into a villain; in Avengers, I’m the out-and-out bad guy; and in Thor: The Dark World, Malekith, played by Christopher Eccleston, is the villain, so I occupy a unique position because I’m sort of an ally."

Thor: The Dark World opens in theaters on November 8. Only Lovers Left Alive will make its way to the New York Film Festival on October 10, with hopes of a 2014 theatrical release.
