Tom Hiddleston shared a really sweet moment on the red carpet with partner Zawe Ashton!

The longtime couple were all smiles while walking the carpet at the Tenzing premiere on Thursday (October 1) at Curzon Mayfair in London, England.

Tom stars in the new movie, which is going to hit select theaters on October 9 and will stream on Apple TV beginning on October 16. Also in attendance were co-stars Genden Phuntsok, Willem Dafoe, Caitríona Balfe, Thinley Lhamo, and director Jennifer Peedom.

What is Tenzing about?

The movie is based on true events!

Tenzing chronicles the little-known story of Tenzing Norgay (Phuntsok), a gifted Himalayan climber who, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary (Hiddleston), became the first to summit Mount Everest. Encouraged by his wife Dawa (Lhamo), Tenzing finds an ally in expedition secretary Jill Henderson (Balfe). Together, they persuade Colonel John Hunt (Dafoe) that Tenzing belongs on the British climbing team, rather than merely serving it. Where Western climbers see “Everest” as something to be conquered, Tenzing reveres “Chomolungma” as the sacred mother goddess. What follows is an ascent defined as much by the tensions between backgrounds, classes and competing ambitions as by the perils of the mountain itself. But high above the world, empire, rank and aspiration fall away, leaving two outsiders bound by mutual respect and trust — and for Tenzing, the fulfillment of both a lifelong dream and a spiritual calling.
