It&#8217;s such an optimistic act, because you&#8217;re putting your faith in the hands of someone or something which you expect to remain constant, even if the circumstances change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m disappearing down a rabbit hole here, but I think about it a lot,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I think about certainty and uncertainty. Trust is a way of managing uncertainty. It&#8217;s a way of finding security in saying, &#8216;Perhaps all of this is uncertain, but I trust you.&#8217; Or, &#8216;I trust this.&#8217; And there&#8217;s a lot of uncertainty in the world at the moment, so it becomes harder to trust, I suppose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To read more from Hiddleston&#8217;s interview, head on over to the <em>NYT<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tune-in-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"33\">\n<p class=\"tune-in__text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\">Don&#8217;t miss <em>E!
