THE MOST-WANTED PLUS ONE
While a stable relationship may elude him, a gaggle of admiring thespians hasn’t. Top fans include Olivia Colman, who has been close to the actor ever since they played husband and wife in the hit BBC sitcom Rev. The pair – who teamed up again for The Night Manager – are frequently seen together at A-list dos. Other party pals include Bob Geldof, with whom he chatted at a charity lunch last May, Andy Serkis, Dominic West and Emily Mortimer (who claims Tom is ‘entirely present… accessible, engaged, clever and funny’). He also won over Meghan Markle when they had dinner at private members’ club Loulou’s in London’s Mayfair. His next target? A wife, with Tom claiming he’s desperate to settle down and ‘be a bit more serious’. But as the Maldives Beach Party proved, you shouldn’t hold your breath. Plus, as the actor admits, ‘I love schmoozing. I can schmooze with the best of them if I’m in the right mood. I love it.’
