Tom Hiddleston's Thor audition tape resurfaced

On the talk show, when the host talked about the tape of his audition, Tom said that he auditioned for the film Thor film, ten years ago, in 2009. He said that basically, at the time, the studio was looking for less well-established actors, so that the audience will not have an association, and added that the studio just wanted people to see these new characters, these new actors and the requirement was that anyone who wishes to play the part must have blond hair and should be over six foot tall.
