🚨 Exclusive interview with Tom Hiddleston in Pompeii 🚨 Subscribe here: https://bit.ly/subhistoryextrayoutube Tom Hiddleston, star of 'Loki' and 'The Night Manager', wants to challenge what you think you know about Pompeii. His National Geographic docudrama follows three real Romans from the historical record through the disaster to ask: could anyone survive? Ahead of the launch, HistoryExtra’s Kev Lochun sat down with the Hollywood actor to find out how ancient history reaches through time, how we tell stories of the past without making them about ourselves, and how he would have reacted if he’d been in the Forum in AD 79 when Vesuvius erupted. National Geographic’s 'Pompeii: Out of Time' premieres on 22 July and is available to stream on Disney+ from 23 July. #HistoryExtra #romans #pompeii 00:00 Introduction 00:35 What Pompeii means to Tom Hiddleston 02:00 How to tell the story of Pompeii? 04:03 Reactions to the disaster 05:50 Where should you go in Pompeii? ▷ Find out more at https://www.historyextra.com/ ▷ Follow the podcast on iTunes: https://apple.co/3Y6n8Bt ▷ Like our page on Facebook:   / historyextra   ▷ Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/HistoryExtra ▷ Follow us Instagram:   / historyextra   ▷ Follow us on TikTok:   / ucy4hmtkf5afzrltchpwrc_g   Subscribe to our Substack for Life Lessons from History with Dr David Musgrove: https://historyextra.substack.com/ 🏰 History at your fingertips Unlock the past with leading historians, exclusive ad‑free podcasts and stories from across the globe, only on History Extra. https://www.historyextra.com/subscrib...
