British actor Tom Hiddleston shared the first clip from the upcoming Hank Williams biopic I Saw the Light on Twitter Thursday.
The clip shows Hiddleston, who is playing Williams, singing the country legend’s first major country hit “Move It On Over.” It also shows a snippet of Elizabeth Olsen, who portrays Williams’ wife Audrey Mae.
