Tom Hiddleston Is Giving You “JCPenney Underwear Model” Poses In W Magazine

It hasn’t even been one full week since Tom Hiddleston started officially promoting his latest project, being Taylor Swift’s 100% real piece, and he’s already doing thirsty shit like this. I guess you gotta strike while the PR whore iron is piping hot.

W Magazine (which stands for “Why? Magazine” today) pushed out these hilarious pictures of Tom letting us know that he dresses to the right while posing in his chonies for some photo shoot. I figured that a long ass interview was posted along with these panty pictures, but nope. It doesn’t look like there’s an interview. W did put up this little blurb with the pics, and it screams “I AM DATING TAYLOR SWIFT. MAKE ME THE NEW JAMES BOND!”

There’s a reason why everyone — Taylor Swift included — wants a piece of Tom Hiddleston, star of The Night Manager and the upcoming Marvel blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok, and it’s not just his acting chops. (Though those help.) Here, in this W photo shoot, our British crush proves he’s just as comfortable wearing the dapper suits that have made him a leading contender to become the new James Bond, as he is out of them.

There’s nothing better than a topless dude photo shoot, but these pictures are where awkward and uncomfortable meet. In some of the pictures, Tom looks like he’s standing in the middle of an examining room in his doctor’s office and he’s extra nervous because he’s about to get his prostate checked and the Taco Bell he had for lunch has digested and is about to make a run for the border. In other pictures, he looks like he’s doing the “before” pose for an ad for a new erectile dysfunction med. And he also looks like somebody’s hot dad who is reluctantly posing for pictures for his new escort ad after deciding that he’s going to try hooking to get his family out of debt. With that said, I’ll gladly take all of these cheesy ass pictures.

Calvin Harris also posed in his chonies, so I’m sensing a trend…. My fingers are going to hate me for typing this and will probably band together to slap me in the face, but I have to put it out there. If “dating” Tay Tay will lead to Prince Hot Ginge posing in his chonies, then please make this happen, Taylor’s publicist!
