Tom Hiddleston turns 39 today. The actor has given the world some award-winning performances in various movies, but the one that won millions of hearts will always be Loki. He plays the role of God of Mischief in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in multiple movies. He is one of the few times when the villain of a film gets as much fandom as the heroes. Of course, Tom's charming portrayal had a part to play in this. Well, he does have that mischievous grin that makes him just perfect for the part. Loki: Tom Hiddleston Starrer Disney Plus Series to Introduce MCU's First Transgender Character.
