ACTOR Tom Hiddleston has revealed how he got into character for a new role – with a massage from director Nick Park.

The Avengers and Night Manager star plays villainous Lord Nooth in Aardman Animations’s latest comedy, Early Man.

And one scene sees the baddie unknowingl­y massaged by a pig, whose grunts are voiced by Park.

Hiddleston yesterday revealed that Park kneaded his shoulders in the studio to get his voice effects right.

He said: “Nick actually massaged me, to get that sound. It was odd... more physical than I expected.”

Park said: “About 10 takes were unusable because of the laughing.”

The film also stars Eddie Redmayne and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.
