Tom Hiddleston’s rumoured new love Priyanka Chopra reveals how he ‘made her twirl’ to US talk show host Jimmy Fallon
Former beauty queen says she felt 'princessy' during flirty moment with Taylor Swift's ex
BOLLYWOOD beauty Priyanka Chopra has told US talk show host Jimmy Fallon how her rumoured love interest Tom Hiddleston made her twirl onstage at Sunday night's Emmys.
The former Miss World, 34, appeared on the Tonight Show, offering a beauty queen wave as she walked onstage in a flared polka-dot midi dress with billowing trumpet sleeves.
Host Jimmy mentioned her he'd seen her at the Emmys, where she presented an award with Night Manager star Tom, 35.
When the pair walked onstage, Priyanka lifted the train of her long red dress and performed a spin as she switched to Tom's other arm.
Jimmy recalled: "Not only were you funny and charming as always, but you were just gorgeous. You had this red dress and you came out and you were twirling around... If I had a cape I would have done the same thing."
Priyanka said: “I walked out with this big train and I did it for the first time because it was like oh it's so pretty and I feel princessy, and after I twirled once I was doing it all night!
"All of the photographers were asking me to twirl and then onstage Tom made me twirl and I was always only twirling. I’m the twirling dancing emoji now!”
The Indian actress also gamely bobbed for apples with Jimmy, beating the American at the traditional Halloween game.
The actress didn't address rumours of a budding romance with Tom, who reportedly exchanged phone numbers and even shared a kiss with Priyanka at the Emmys after-party.
An eyewitness at the Governor’s Ball in LA said the pair were “openly flirting”.
The source said: “He had his arm around her and held her close. Afterwards Tom and Priyanka talked closely and were holding hands — at one point for a few moments.
“She fixed Tom's bow-tie and then they kissed on both cheeks.”
The source added: “Priyanka and Tom said goodbye and she told him she will see him later. They left the event about a minute [apart].”
Tom split from US pop star Taylor Swift just weeks ago, after a much-publicised three-month romance.
The couple allegedly rowed about his "love of the limelight".
If that's the case, Priyanka may not be the best match for Tom — she's known for keeping her private life very private.
Earlier this year she said in an interview with Bollywood film magazine : "All my life I have never commented on the fact whether I am in a relationship or not."
She added: "I have a personal life. I don’t like talking about it. I am private about it. I’ve never flaunted my relationships, I have protected them."
Priyanka initially trained in psychiatry but was crowned Miss World in 2000, and went on to become reportedly one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, appearing in more than 50 films.
She's also a talented singer and has released a number of singles and collaborated with the likes of Pitbull and Will.i.am.
