The reaction was visceral. Hiddleston didn&#8217;t just gasp; he &#8220;leapt&#8221; from his chair, his body language a chaotic mix of a &#8220;startled&#8221; soldier and a delighted schoolboy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!&#8221; Hiddleston &#8220;bellowed,&#8221; his voice echoing with the genuine shock of a man seeing a &#8220;mirage&#8221; come to life.
