Actor Tom Hiddleston and songstress Taylor Swift recently shocked the world after photos of them embracing went viral and he has now opened up about their surprising relationship for the first time. 

During an interview with Belgium's Q Music, the star admitted that so far his romance with the 'Blank Space' beauty has been a "roller coaster" that is incredibly enjoyable: "I would describe it as a roller coaster ride of action and spectacle and lots of laughs."

Hiddleston added: "She is an absolute delight. She's actually, um...She's got such a wicked sense of humor and she's a really fun person to have around. She's really great."

Swift, meanwhile, recently opened up about the one thing she still really wants to achieve and told Vogue magazine that she wants to one-up close friend Ed Sheeran: "I really want an honorary doctorate degree, because Ed Sheeran has one and I feel like he looks down on me now, because I don't have one."
