After our recent run of shamelessly objectifying slightly more obscure (but nonetheless fit) young men, we’ve decided to set out sights on a bona fide celeb this week – Theo James. You’ll know him, even if you don’t know you know him, because his picture is on the side of ever bus going, thanks to his second billing as Four in Divergent.
There are many reasons why we’re Shamelessly Objectifying Theo James today – apart from the fact that he’s easy on the eye, and looks set to be a far better ambassador for fit British men in Hollywood than Robert Pattinson, who looks alternately haunted or unwashed at all times and hardly ever smiles (as though he had a bath once, it was really traumatic and he’s vowed never to repeat the experience). In contrast Theo looks a) clean; and b) very dapper at all times.
Also, one of Theo’s earlier roles was as the ill-fated Kemal Pamuk, who Lady Mary shagged to death in Downton Abbey, which makes us love him all the more.
Vital Statistics
Age: 29
From: Oxford
Significant other? Speculation is rife that he’s shagging Divergent co-star Shailene Woodley like a less emo R-Patz and K-Stew. But, then again, speculation is also rife that he’s still seeing ex-girlfriend, actress Ruth Kearney. So who knows, dear reader, who knows?
Reasons why we love him:
Because he has a degree in philosophy from Nottingham university #FIT
His real name is Theodore Peter James Kinnaird Taptiklis, which belies his Oxfordshire roots (and comes from his Greek grandfather). Exotic.
He, like, totally used to be in a band and sings baritone, plays guitar, saxophone, piano and harmonica, and has even been known to beatbox.
