‘It’s an antidote to the tedious bull***t from healthy living warriors’: Tom Hollander’s ‘life in the day’ article goes viral as he discusses peeing, sex, sleeping pills and masturbation
BAFTA-award winning actor Tom Hollander contributed to the Sunday Times’ article, ‘A life in the day’ and his hilarious words have gone final.
While legions of celebrities have written for the weekly feature and kept things fairly tame, Tom, 53, was lauded by fans for discussing peeing in the dark, sleeping pills and masturbation.
He wrote: ‘I wake up generally at 3 or 4am. Not because I’m like Margaret Thatcher, but because I need to pee.
‘It’s an antidote to the tedious bull***t from healthy living warriors’: Tom Hollander’s ‘life in the day’ article has gone viral as he discussed peeing in the dark, sleeping pills and masturbation
‘I pee in the darkness using my phone screen to illuminate the target, then often take half a sleeping pill (antihistamine), turn on the World Service very quietly and try to go to sleep.’
After discussing holding his girlfriend in different positions, or the pillow if she is absent, he examined his bald patch, weighs himself and pulls his stomach in.
And if that wasn’t enough of an insight, he pens: ‘If it’s sunny I might go for a cycle ride down the canal, if it’s raining I might masturbate or doze.’
Mr Popular: People took to Twitter in their droves after reading the article, to proclaim what a funny man the Night Manager actor is
People took to Twitter in their droves after reading the article, to proclaim what a funny man the Night Manager actor is.
They wrote: ‘I urge you to read this excellent day in the life of Tom Hollander as an antidote to the tedious bull***t from healthy living warriors.’
‘I love Tom Hollander even more after reading this. If that’s at all possible.’
‘Life In The Day. Sunday Times Magazine. Usually such self-aggrandizing puff pieces, the truth and honesty (and wit) of this shines through.
‘Brilliant writing. Great actor. And I want to give him a hug.’
‘We must wrap Tom Hollander in wool and keep him safe through 2020 as a national treasure.’
Meanwhile, things are looking up for the romance between Tom Hollander and interior designer Fran Hickman.
Tom, 52, star of spy film The King’s Man and Fran, 36, who broke off their engagement in 2010, spent the entire lockdown together at Tom’s home.
Friends tell me the couple are planning on making things official again.
A source told Daily Mail: ‘They really love each other,’ says my mole. ‘Tom isn’t getting any younger. We’re all waiting on him to propose again.’
Fran towers over her 5ft 4in ‘sexy thimble’. Let’s hope when he gets down on one knee she can hear him from all the way down there…
