First Photo of Tom Hiddleston as Hank Williams

Last year it was announced that Tom Hiddleston would play Hank Williams in a biopic called I Saw the Light. Today we have a photo to share with you giving us our first look at what the actor looks like as the country music legend. I’ve also included a comparison photo of Williams, and Hiddleston definitely looks the part!

The movie is being directed by Marc Abraham, and it’s based on the book Hank Williams: The Biography written by Colin Escott, George Merritt, and William MacEwan. It follows "Williams’ rise from Grand Ole Opry reject to booze-addled stardom to his lonely death on New Year’s Day 1953” when he was only 29-years-old. 

The movie also stars Elizabeth Olsen as Williams’ wife Audrey Mae, along with Cherry Jones, Bradley Whitford, Maddie Hasson, and Wren Schmidt

Sony Pictures Classics will release the film on November 26th in a limited theatrical release.
