Get ready to see Tom Hiddleston's Hank Williams portrayal in the biopic 'I See The Light' next year!

The 'Thor' star has reportedly spent a month of training under country legend Rodney Crowell as preparation for his new role. Despite getting backlash from Williams' fans and family, the British actor has been working hard to get his characterization for the biopic just right.

The casting may have been criticized but according to the country crooner, Hiddleston is the perfect man to play the legendary American singer!

He has thrown himself into a strict makeover for the role. He lost weight drastically, learned to speak with a country twang, and poured out his energy into his singing lessons. He even learned "the mystery of yodeling the blues, hillbilly style."

Crowell wrote a long account on Facebook about his time honing Tom Hiddleston to become Hank Williams.

According to Crowell, the Hollywood heartthrob is well into becoming the man who will be "finding his way into the heart of one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time."

According to the country superstar, "the classically trained British actor" had immediately joined a performance for the Wheatland Music Festival a day after arriving in Nashville. When asked to perform 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry,' he had reportedly surprised Crowell by agreeing right away.

He "[skilfully] performed the tune before what must have been 1500 people."

The country singer added, "Later that night, with my band on the main stage, and with very little urging from me, he rendered a joyful version of 'Move It On Over.'"

Tom Hiddleston's Hank Williams transformation was so gruelling, yet the actor had been very dedicated to the regimen. Read through Crowell's description of Hiddleston's typical day here.

"After nearly a month spent collaborating with this gifted artist, I'm as respectful of the man's work ethic as I'm mystified by his transformational skills. Without a doubt, the filmmakers chose the right actor for the job," Crowell said, regarding the British actor's impressive perseverance.
