To be fair, that’s an argument lodged against a number of British actors who take on American roles, despite the fact that their work is often hailed for their accuracy.
Sony Pictures has released the first clip of the upcoming Hank Williams biopic, I Saw the Light.
Tom Hiddleston proves that he can sing in the first clip of his new movie “I Saw the Light“.
There are several gags involving Audrey’s imperfect (though by no means unbearable) singing voice, which she forced upon Williams and his band despite his casually aggressive protestations. While Hiddleston definitely looks the part, it feels like his rendition of the classic track isn’t right. During his 16 year career, Hank recorded 11 number one country singles, three of which were awarded posthumously.
Hiddleston shared the clip on his Twitter account. He died at the age of 29 in the back seat of a auto on the way to a gig.
The younger sister of 29-year-old twins Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen and the actor, who play Loki and The Scarlet Witch in The Avengers franchise, have not confirmed a relationship. But what’s stranger is the director’s insistence on skirting around the key moments he does bring up.
No one can really match Williams’s unique twang, but Hiddleston does a pretty damn good job.
His life was already turned into a regrettable movie in 1964, “Your Cheatin’ Heart“, with the perpetually tanned George Hamilton as an unconvincing Williams. Several minutes are expended on Williams’ trip to Hollywood to negotiate a possible movie role, without ever explaining what happened in the end. Until then, we’re just gonna move it on over to something else…
