Zawe Ashton reveals she 'wants to have a baby' as she talks motherhood
— I would like to have a baby. I’ve never said that before, but women never say it.
«One word Ashton is thinking about a lot these days is "motherhood." “I would like to have a baby,” she says slowly. "I’ve never said that before, but women never say it." Despite various rumours about her love life, she emphasises that the baby is a goal, not a current reality. "It's not in the works, and it's not being planned," she says. "There's absolutely not one single detail that I can mention, but the next thing on my agenda is building towards that stage, and I feel very proud of that.»" Sep. 11, 2019 www.bustle.com/p/zawe-ashton-isnt-interested-in...

And now she has flown out to be with him in Atlanta, where he has set up home along with his beloved dog Bobby.
He relocated there at the beginning of the year to shoot his Disney+ series Loki and has been forced to stay in lockdown ever since.
In recent days, Zawe has also been seen with him there, seemingly confirming they are an item.
A source close to the couple said: “Tom and Zawe have stayed quiet about their relationship but she has spent the last few weeks with him in the US.
“They are very well suited and enjoy the quieter side of life away from the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world.
“Their lives are typically very busy, so spending time together while not working has been something they have both embraced. Tom has made a home in Atlanta during lockdown and he is expecting to spend the rest of the year there.”
Meanwhile, Zawe was all poised to head to Toronto just before lockdown to film the fourth series of The Handmaid’s Tale, which she has bagged a role in.» 13 Jul 2020 www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12112874/tom-hidd...
So, last summer whilst I was on my way to visit a friend via the overground, I spotted a familiar looking tall man in running gear. He turned to look at me and I realized it was Tom Hiddleston. I pretended not to recognize him, and as the train stopped at Hackney Central, we both got off and he immediately jogged away into the distance.
Apparently Tom Hiddleston is back in London. I hope that he is doing well and staying safe. He’s having his home remodeled. And apparently they hope filming will start back up again in September. — Cade ☀️ LOKI SERIES (@CadeRGrimm) August 13, 2020
"The planning application in respect of the development of the Property was submitted to the Council and validated on 25 February 2019"

He is building a basement for a gym, storage, etc. the demo even goes out to the street with new entrances and walls being redone. New landscaping everything. All of the neighbors submitted complaints.
“instead of leaving the district, the owner/occupier wants to upgrade”. the key goals is to make a comfortable home for a family. the proposal was submitted in feb/March 2019 and approved in December. the signed paperwork between Tom and the council was witnessed by Charlie on the 19 Dec last year.
🦋ZAWE ASHTON🦋 is my 1st guest on Love Itself 🤗. Zawe is an actor, writer and director. She has been in the West End, on Broadway and opposite Jake Gyllenhall in Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix. AND she’s about to start filming for one of my FAVOURITE shows of all time - The Handmaid’s Tale. Zawe wrote in incredibly powerful memoir called “Character Breakdown” which I highly recommend! In this episode she talks about love as allyship and authenticity, showing up for ourselves, the messages we receive that can damage our sense of worth, being bullied at school, her beloved grandfather.. the lessons he passed onto her and an encounter with a woman in LA who helped Zawe find her truth. I really loved this conversation so much. Zawe is definitely one of the coolest and wisest people I know 💛 @zawe #loveitself thank you @heyestrid for sponsoring this episode X
Welcome to a very special episode of Fear Itself. We are changing direction and talking about love, itself. It seems to me that love is the opposite of fear, and it has the same power over us and our lives. Love can change what we do, how we feel, and our entire outlook on life. It can motivate us to do amazing things, but it also can be paralysing in its intensity. In these special episodes, I'll be talking to my guests about what love means to them.
My guest this week is Zawe Ashton who is an actor, writer and director. You will have seen her most recently in Harold Pinter's Betrayal in the West End or on Broadway or opposite Jake Gyllenhall and Rene Russo in Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix. Her unconventional memoir "Character Breakdown' was released in paperback in the Spring – I have recently read this book and I have to say that Zawe’s writing shoots straight to my heart, it’s beautifully honest and raises important questions about identity and truth.
She's currently shooting the Handmaids Tale in Canada.
** This episode was recorded remotely over Zoom due to Covid *.
«Cressida Bonas: “Are you in Canada now, shooting Handmaid’s Tale? Have you been there this whole time?”
ZA: “No, I haven’t been there this whole time.”
CB: “I was going to say, wow.”
ZA: “It’s been a lot of back and forth, and so I’m in the UK right now, and will imminently be flying. Which is strange, because again, there’s all these unknowns, right? So, if there’s a lockdown, things change, and if Canada changes its laws about things, then it’s all up in the air. And the uncertainty that you live with as an actor is already kind of through the roof, right? And now it’s like, you just live with a little bag packed, because you wonder if you might just be asked to arrive or leave at any given moment.”»

'The Handmaid's Tale' Boss Looks Toward Season 4 and the Endgame Beyond
«What can you say about new characters we'll meet in season four?
McKenna Grace plays a young "wife," in the Gilead tradition. She's so spectacular in the show. I've just been watching the first few episodes because I'm finally doing some editing, and she's just wonderful. Watching her and Lizzie together, it's great. June comes in contact with a lot of different people in the season, a lot more than usual, I would say. We have a few [other] people coming in: Zawe Ashton is going to play Moira's girlfriend and an aid worker in Toronto. Reed Birney plays someone [from the world of] Gilead, who's unexpectedly not Reed Birney-ish, but it's been great to be able to build, and over episodes to build characters. Because June is moving through a new world, at least at the beginning she's out and about. And who do you interact with, and who do you trust? So the guest players have been so important this season, and they've been for the first few episodes, so good. And honestly, they've had to travel extra distances, they had to stay in hotel rooms for two weeks. It's not been easy, and they're absolutely putting their A-plus work in, even though I know how difficult it has been for them to get there.» www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/handmaids-t...

Who will star in The Handmaid's Tale season 5? Hold your horses – season 4 hasn’t even been released and you want to know who is season 5? Well, of course you do, you’re only human.
Given the fact several of the original cast members star in a video announcing the confirmation of a fifth season, we expect to see more of Moss, Bledel and Wiley but there might be a few new faces added to the mix.
For example, we now know that British actress Zawe Ashton will be joining the season 4 cast, thanks to Miller’s comments to THR, as well as actress Mckenna Grace and actor Reed Birney.
Ashton will play ‘Moira’s girlfriend and an aid worker in Toronto', but we wonder if we’ll see more of her in season 5?
Is there a trailer for The Handmaid's Tale season 5?
No, and you shouldn’t be expecting one for a long time given that filming on season 4 is yet to wrap up.
'We planned out the whole season, started filming, and then had to stop … everything from locations, to number of people in scenes, to traveling actors, all that stuff had a huge impact on our story, just because it has to, and honestly, we're in a situation where we have to make do with what we can get our hands on,' Miller told THR. 'In the end, it was surmountable, and I think we're making an excellent show, and I'm really proud of what we're doing, but it was hard, and it continues to be hard.' www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a34971...
