Tom Hiddleston reveals he 'peed' on Night Manager co-star Tom Hollander

Tom Hiddleston has revealed he once urinated on his Night Manager co-star Tom Hollander.

The 36-year-old actor said he did the deed upon Hollander’s request after he was stung by a jellyfish while filming the BBC series.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show he said: “Tom got stung by a jellyfish and he shouted across the beach, ‘I say old sport could you come and pee on me?’ and I engagingly obliged.

“I’ve since read up on it and it don’t think it works – it’s an old wives’ tale.”

Hiddleston also opened up about his formative years at Eton and revealed he was lumped with the nickname ‘Piddle’.

“Very soon after I arrived I got the nickname ‘Piddle’ and the boys made up the rhyme, ‘Hiddle Piddle did a widdle in the middle of the night,’” he said. “My closest friends still call me ‘Pid’ but it’s affectionate now.”

Hiddleston studied at Eton alongside fellow actor Eddie Redmayne. The pair were cast in a school production of A Passage To India, with Hiddleston playing an elephant’s leg to Redmayne’s lead.

Recalling the play he said: “I was in A Passage to India with Eddie Redmayne, who played the female lead. I on the other hand, played the front leg of the elephant he rode!”

Hiddleston was on The Graham Norton Show to promote his new film Kong: Skull Island, in which he stars alongside Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson.

He described the film as, “Planet Earth on steroids,” and said: “We went to some amazing locations because the director wanted to avoid the CGI look.

“In Queensland we encountered poisonous snakes and Funnel-web spiders – it was all quite amazing and pretty dangerous.”

The Graham Norton Show is on BBC One tonight at 10.35pm.
