Dropped! Tom Hiddleston Won’t Be The Face Of Armani – And Apparently, It’s All Because Of Taylor
He was set to front their new campaign and take over from Calvin.
Whatever your thoughts on Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift’s relationship, it’s fair to say that their new love has sparked a helluva lot of controversy, and that’s the exact reason Tom may have missed out on being the face of Armani’s new campaign.
Rumour has it, that Tom was on the shortlist to head the fashion brand’s new campaign, taking over from former ambassador Calvin Harris.
But a source says that Armani, decided to opt out, given the drama surrounding Hiddleswift and Tay’s ex Calvin.
“Tom was on the shortlist as they examined who could take over from Calvin,” the source told The Mirror.
“Obviously with Tom now being Taylor’s other half and the Calvin past deal, it would generate huge media coverage and headlines. But Armani see themselves as classier than that and think that a rising sports star may suit their current needs better.
“Armani would hate to be seen as getting PR for their brand by riding on Taylor Swift’s coat tails, so Tom will not get the job.”
Right then, so that confirms it: no free undies for Tom. Soz, hun.
