Is there no role Tom Hiddleston isn't perfect for?
Sony Pictures Classics released the first look at Hiddleston as Country music icon Hank Williams on Wednesday from the upcoming biopic I Saw The Light -- and it's crazy how much the 34-year-old star embodies the music legend.

The film, titled after Williams' 1948 song of the same name, is based on the 1994 novel Hank Williams: The Biography by Colin Escott. Flash of Genius director Marc Abraham is helming the project.
Elizabeth Olsen stars opposite Hiddleston as the singer's wife Audrey Mae Williams, while Bradley Whitford and David Kumholtz co-star.
I Saw the Light opens in limited release Nov. 27.
