Tom Hiddleston has revealed his family like to make fools of themselves with an after-dinner game at Christmas.

The star of Thor and War Horse, 30, is looking forward to spending Christmas with his family and revealed he is planning to have second helpings of everything, even Brussels sprouts.

Tom said: “We play a game called Thumper. It’s normally after we’ve had the turkey and everyone is ridiculously full of food, sprouts and champagne. It’s a very and hilariously humiliating game.

“It involves a lot of drumming on the table, a lot of standing up and twirling around and remembering what the other person did when they put their thumb on their nose or stuck their tongue out.

“It makes family members look completely ridiculous, which is always fun. Anyone who wants to come around to my house and play, you are most welcome.”

The Avengers star said he wants a new pair of trainers for Christmas so he can enjoy running in the New Year.

He said: “I love running and I get really excited by a new pair of trainers - it’s really boring!

“It’s the smell and feel of a new pair. When you go for your first run with new trainers, it’s like running on the moon. Springing. It’s fantastic!”
