Tom Hiddleston breaks silence on Taylor Swift relationship

British actor Tom Hiddleston has broken his silence about his relationship with singer Taylor Swift and says the attention surrounding it doesn't faze him.

The "Night Manager" actor began dating the "Shake it off" singer last month, just a few weeks after she split from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris. He insists the newfound attention that his personal life has received isn't a problem as he knows he is being "authentic" and true to himself, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Asked if the focus on his personal life bothers him, Hiddleston told The Sun newspaper: "I don't know, it comes down to being authentic.

"Everything you do you have to make sure you truly believe in it and as long as you know that, it doesn't matter what anyone else says about it because the nature of being a public figure is that everyone will have an opinion about anything you do, and as long as you know why you have done something and you've committed to it with authenticity then you are okay," he added.
