Hiddleston recalled: "He walked in and said, 'Guinness? Guinness is my favourite drink, I love Guinness! I've just been in Dublin and went to the brewery'.
"We quickly bonded over Guinness and immediately I realised that he's a very grounded, very humble man."
The actor also discusses learning to ride a horse and why he's not growing facial hair as a reaction to Benedict Cumberbatch's War Horse moustache in the video above.
