The Avengers: Endgame star has a net worth over $20 million now, however issues have been slightly totally different for the actor when he was first beginning out.
Hiddleston spent his first huge paycheck on a Peugeot 106 1.1 after he starred within the HBO BBC movie, Conspiracy, in 2001. The budget-friendly and low-maintenance sedan was a worthy sidekick to Hiddleston for 10 years, but it surely met an early demise when Hiddleston left it within the U.Ok. to shoot Thor in 2011. How precisely did that occur? Let’s have a look.
Tom Hiddleston’s profession has been booming
The 39-year-old English actor is greatest recognized for his function as Loki within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. First showing in Thor in 2011, Loki has since caught round as part of six MCU films since. Hiddleston may also have the starring function within the upcoming Disney+ tv sequence Loki, airing someday in 2021.
But before the MCU took everybody, together with Hiddleston, by storm, Hiddleston discovered his area of interest within the theater.

In 2001, Tom Hiddleston exchanged his first huge paycheck as an actor for a Peugeot 106 1.1. This little automobile is a French staple. The three-door hatchback had a 1.1-liter engine getting solely 60 horsepower. Categorised as a “supermini,” the Peugeot 106 takes 14.6 seconds to speed up from 0-60 mph. Undoubtedly not your ordinary celebrity-worthy automobile, however Hiddleston had a methods to go earlier than becoming a real celebrity.
Hiddleston advised Bustle in 2016 that he had the Peugeot 106 1.1 for 10 years and that he drove it in all places he went, together with throughout France and Spain. This was the automobile he drove to get to these early theater and TV gigs, and he loved the practicality of it very a lot. The draw back, nevertheless, got here when the automobile met the tip of the street. Hiddleston went on to say that the automobile ended up getting stolen.
“Once I went to America for Thor I left it with my sister, whose boyfriend lived on Blackhorse Highway [in north London]. I don’t suppose it lasted very lengthy… [the car] was sadly stolen and has now been impounded as a result of it was wrecked by some joy-riders in London.”

What’s the MCU star driving now?
In the identical interview with Bustle, Hiddleston revealed that he had not too long ago picked up a partnership with Jaguar and has since been driving a Jaguar F-Type. When requested if he appreciated it greater than the previous Peugeot, Hiddleston stated, “I used to suppose I wasn’t into that form of factor till [the Jaguar] was in my possession… It’s enormous enjoyable to drive.”
Some folks suppose that a Jaguar F-Type seems like the right automobile for a villain to drive, and it’s just about the kind of automobile we’d all count on Loki to personal. However in comparison with the Peugeot, which exhibits Hiddleston’s true roots, it’s comically totally different. And with the 2021 mannequin beginning out at $60,000, it’s simply a way more useful funding. Let’s hope that it may well final so long as his final automobile however will hopefully not have as miserable an endgame.
