Tom Hiddleston blames nerves for his disastrous Golden Globes speech
Tom Hiddleston won accolade for 'The Night Manager' and amusing reactions from the crowd at the award show for his speech
Actor Tom Hiddleston says that he was nervous while giving his Golden Globes acceptance speech.
The 35-year-old British actor was widely criticised for his address which he gave after receiving the award for best actor in a TV limited series or motion picture category for The Night Manager.
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."
