Marvel star Tom Hiddleston has just landed a new job on the BBCโฆ and its worlds away from his usual roles.
The Loki actor is set to star on CBeebies, telling a tale as part of their Bedtime Stories series today (Jun. 25, 2021).
Hiddleston will be reading Supertato by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, the story of a much-loved superhero, with the main characters being a superhero potato and a supervillain pea.
In the clip below you can see him introducing the story.
โHello, Iโm Tom,โ he says. โTonightโs Bedtime Story is all about a supervillain. This guy is really naughty, very cheeky and bright green. But never fear, because where thereโs trouble, a superhero is sure to follow. The story is called Supertato and itโs by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet.โ
The clip then jumps ahead to the end of the story, with Hiddleston signing off and wishing viewers a good night.
โWow, that little pea caused a lot of mayhem!โ he says. โBut luckily, Supertato was there to save the day! And now itโs time for you to go to sleep. Perhaps youโll dream of mischievous villains, or brave superheroes tonight. Good night little peas.โ
