Theo James on Filming The White Lotus, Using the C Word & People Being Shocked He’s Nice

Theo talks about people being disappointed he isn’t a terrible person, getting cut out of the first project he ever did, working with Bryan Cranston, Guy Richie only allowing one c*@t per episode, and filming “The White Lotus.”

This man has no business being this attractive. How dare he be this handsome AND English??

He has some Greek descent!

I swear he gets more and more good looking as he gets older. Been a fan since divergent

[@rayalvarado5092]

Why is he not on the short list for James Bond?

[@pepsiyummie1]

Interesting thought. That might be cool!

[@user-yn7yo1co3k]

Because he's stirred, not shaken. 💗

Amen. Theo James would make a Terrific Bond!

[@calliem1019]

he aged so fine

His role as Mr. Pamuk on Downton Abbey was fire. He's one gifted guy.

Never forget!! One of his 1st roles!! That episode was fire indeed.

He's my pick for the next James Bond - he has every attribute!

[@neonh161]

I absolutely agree..

[@abdullahtariq2032]

He is cut for the role, but he's slightly on the shorter side to play bond. You have to be reportedly well above 6ft,

[@tom4150]

All the cursing lol. His accent is so strong. I had no idea

[@BrandonGoble78]

Dude was outstanding in White Lotus, great interview too 👏

You make me giggle,Jimmy!😂❤👍

[@RedDevil_Joe]

1:20 as an example people think Leo Woodall used his own accent for Jack in White Lotus but nope, he had a very specific (and perfectly done) Essex accent which isn’t his own English accent. Essex has unique things to it too 😂

[@user-zw2ok3ik9v]

It wasn't perfectly done at all!!

[@RedDevil_Joe]

@@user-zw2ok3ik9v yes it was 😂 that type of Essex accent he got down to t, don’t pretend otherwise if you are from Essex and don’t sound exactly like that or something

[@seadkolasinac7220]

@@RedDevil_Joe he did it accurately but it was pretty exaggerated (and yes for the record I currently live in Essex)

😂 talk about a SHOCK!!! This is the first time I have seen Theo since primary school!!! That was nearly 30 years ago.

[@natalieking2497]

The ghost texting show was called Bedlam on Sky TV, as I recall, and though it was meant to be scary it also had his character Jed implied to be in love with his adopted sister/cousin and sharing an apartment with him sleeping on the smallest sofa or in a futon shoved into a closet. Some of my fear came from unintentional sources.

[@renem2169]

We live laugh love Theo James😍

[@dafinker3443]

Theo James is a winner … ✅👏👏

Sidney Parker, the last Austen hero. 💔

[@MISSJHON]

I lost interest in the show once he was gone. The storyline was not the same in seasons 2 and 3 and it didn't connect with season one

The ghost hunter show is talking about is kind of hilarious because he doesn’t care about the ghost and he doesn’t care about the people haunting them. He’s just so inconvenienced to fight the situation that he end up doing stuff about it and it’s so funny.

Interesting how people from other countries don't pick up on the variation in dialects in the US.

[@willowtree6487]

We do, but the variations in UK accents for the size of the country I feel is a lot greater than in America, which is why I think a good English accent is hard to pull off, just ask Kevin Costner, or anyone on Peaky Blinders.

@@audreyficus3823 thanks that explains it then.

[@sw6325]

No, I don't hear any Australian and the idea that having family members living on the other side of the world that you probably see every few years having any discernible impact on your accent is ridiculous.

He says no to Bond. Barbara Broccoli wants 3 films over 10 years. He doesn’t want to commit to that. She has also said she’s looking for a young man as he will have to organically age for 10 years.
