Hiddleston and Karen Gillan were being interviewed for their new film "The Life of Chuck," when a British radio host name-dropped Swift.

In his wildest dreams, Tom Hiddleston didn’t see this one coming. The actor, 44, was on the UK’s Heart Radio on Thursday, when his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift was brought up by host Devin Griffin. Hiddleston appeared on the live radio show with his “The Life of Chuck” co-star Karen Gillan.

Tom Hiddleston probably thought he’d finally outrun his Taylor Swift era. Nearly a decade, an engagement, and two kids later, their three-month fling felt firmly in the 2016 archives. But celebrity timelines don’t work the same way real ones do — and a casual radio interview just reminded him of that fact in real time.
