Tom Hiddleston played Eddie Redmayne's elephant in school play

Actor Tom Hiddleston has said he played the role of fellow actor Eddie Redmayne's elephant in a school play.

The 36-year-old actor appeared on "The Graham Norton Show" where he shared it was one of his initial roles, reported E! News.

"I'm delighted to reveal that I played the front, right leg of the elephant that Eddie was riding on. We're holding a table with a cushion on top of it and also tablecloths over our faces because our bodies are the elephant," Hiddleston said laughingly.

He also said "The Theory of Everything" actor had made a name for himself even in their early days.

"He (Redmayne) was a great talent even then. He was a huge star and we were in a school production of A Passage to India by E M Forster," the "Thor" star admitted.
