The star took to Facebook to share the reason behind his "inelegantly expressed" speech.
"In truth, I was very nervous, and my words just came out wrong. Sincerely, my only intention was to salute the incredible bravery and courage of the men and women who work so tirelessly for UNICEF UK, Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and World Food Programme, and the children of South Sudan, who continue to find hope and joy in the most difficult conditions," Hiddleston wrote.
Asking for forgiveness, he further added, "I apologise that my nerves got the better of me."
