"Thor: Ragnarok" star Tom Hiddleston politely declined to give away any details about his new relationship. The 35-year-old actor was compelled to dodge an awkward question concerning his brewing romance with Taylor Swift, 26, after being cornered by Australian reporters.
On July 9, Saturday, the British actor was running along the Broadbeach on Australia's Gold Coast when he was approached by a local news reporter. Hiddleston looked a little flustered after being asked about the pop star, where made it clear he was not interested in opening up.
"I'd rather just talk about my work if that's alright," E! News quoted Hiddleston as saying when asked whether Swift is "already the one." "I... I'm not going to answer that if that's alright."
Hiddleston then rushed off onto his run, but when he finally came back, the reporter was still there with more inquiries. The local reporter asked him about what they were anticipating doing while spending time Down Under, and Hiddleston gave her a brush off with "I don't know. It's just good to be back."
Nonetheless, the actor took the time to stop for selfies with fans amid his run and even answer some of their questions. Hiddleston recent on-the-street interview was widely circulated on Twitter.

Taylor and Hiddleston have been making the most of their trip to Australia. Recently, they were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner at Gemelli Italian Restaurant in Queensland.
"Taylor told the staff that Italian is her favorite food and she was very excited to try the food," a source told Mirror. "Taylor and Tom walked in hand-in-hand and left the same way. They spent several hours at dinner before returning to their hotel in a chauffeured car."
Hiddleston and Swift's supposed brewing relationship first came to light just two weeks after the latter break-up with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, 32. The pair, who had an instant spark after dancing during the Met Gala on May 4, locked lips during a broad daylight on a beach in the United State of Rhode Island. It was reported that Hiddleston has been courting Swift since.
