Idol Magazine shoot details

The lovely Sabina Ventriglia, who shared the photo with Tom at the recent Idol Magazine interview, has posted some background details to the photoshoot on her blog. Read the full details on her blog, and check it out again when the interview is published.

...Fresh off the boards, Tom came in very calm, relaxed and ready to be dapped with a spot of powder and hair tidy, before being grilled about his experiences as an actor and what he has coming up that we can all get excited about. The mini photoshoot that accompanied the interview was to show him in his raw state, not overstyled. Just a guy, that has had a long day at work and has an even brighter future ahead of him than he has already achieved.

I can’t wait for it to be posted on the website, so hang tight and I’ll be sure to post it on here too! Tom was a pleasure to work with and wish him the best of luck in his latest production!...
