Tom Hiddleston avoided speaking about his ex Taylor Swift when his actor-friend Benedict Cumberbatch interviewed him.
The 35-year-old actor took part in a quiz with Cumberbatch for a publication and although he discussed everything from his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to his work with UNICEF, the "High-Rise", they avoided talking about Swift, reported FemaleFirst.
Cumberbatch, 40, assured Hiddleston that he would not interrogate him about the 26-year-old singer, with whom he parted ways recently.
"There's another weight of us being in the public eye, which is this presumption that, because your work and your promotion work is very public, your private life should be, too.
"And, without getting into a huge debate, I just want to say that I'm not going to ask questions about my friend's personal life just because there are unsolicited photographs of him and a certain someone, in a relationship or together. I'm not going to get into that. So that door is closed, dear reader," Cumberbatch said.
To which Tom replied, "Thank you."
However, the "Sherlock" star added, "You're welcome. I know you'd do the same for me.
