Tom Hiddleston as Hank Williams

Tom Hiddleston stars as country music legend Hank Williams in the upcoming biopic I Saw the Light.

I Saw the Light will follow Williams’ rise to fame and tragic personal life, which ended with his death at age 29 from heart failure after battling alcoholism, prescription drug abuse and back problems.

Here's an image of Hiddleston as Hank Williams and man, it's really close to the mark

after battling alcoholism, prescription drug abuse and back problems.

Oh my god. I am Hank Williams!

Aaaanyway, I find it really difficult to enjoy watching actors who have attended Eton college. It's so fooking depressing cos I love Dominic West and Tom Hardy.

Hiddleston looks great as Hank though. I'm impressed.

I am Hank Williams

I heard rumors that at the end of the movie they are going to get all kinds of people from various nationalities saying "I am Hank Williams"

I wonder how they will handle the singing. In the one that George Hamilton made, "Your Cheatin' Heart," Hank Jr dubbed the songs, because the original recordings Hank Sr had made were of such poor quality.

Yeah am pretty excited about this. He's a good actor and does seem to have transformed himself for the part, should be really worthwhile.
