Tom Hiddleston was a ‘total geek’ in school. And the pics that prove it

Tom Hiddleston may be hanging off Taylor Swift’s arm but would the pop star have gone for him back when he was a young lad?

Actor Tom Hiddleston was a “total geek” and never had a girlfriend during his time at Eton College, according to a former schoolmate. The Night Manager star, who is now dating pop star Taylor Swift, didn’t have as much luck with the ladies when he was growing up, according to a former classmate who was in the year above him at the prestigious Eton College, reported Female First.

“Tom has had an incredible transformation. At school he was a total geek, he didn’t have any girlfriends and was quite awkward. His parents were in teaching and he wasn’t a cool kid. He was very into his studies and worked really hard. He was a class boff.

“The most rebellious he got was when he tried to grow his hair long and teachers pulled him up on it. He had a slightly odd fashion sense as well, he wore purple trousers, and his favourite T-shirt outside of school uniform was a tie dye T-shirt which changed colour when you breathed on it. He wasn’t very cool,” the schoolmate said.
