Theo James made his acting debut in 2010 in the television series A Passionate Woman, but it wasn't until the role of Four/ Tobias in the The Divergent Series trilogy in 2014 that he received worldwide recognition. Since then, he has picked a series of interesting roles, including horror comedy in the latest Stephen King adaptation, The Monkey.

However, there are still plenty of genres for James to explore in the future. For example, he hasn't made his debut in the superhero world, and, in a new interview with Cbr to promote The Monkey, he teased he wouldn't rule that out. When speaking about the possibilities, he even chose a surprising character.

The Gentlemen series on Netflix introduces new characters in the same universe, with a focus on rich storytelling and character development. The show is character-driven with intriguing political undertones, showcasing Guy Ritchie's signature snappy dialogue and convoluted storytelling. Eddie's journey in season 1 sets the stage for season 2, with standout performances from Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, and Giancarlo Esposito.

Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen show is set in the same universe as the original 2019 movie but revolves around a new set of characters played by talented cast members. Although Netflix's The Gentlemen shares narrative and thematic similarities with its parent film, it follows a standalone narrative that spans eight episodes. Like every Guy Ritchie movie, The Gentlemen has everything from snappy dialogue to intentionally convoluted storytelling, from quick match cuts to rich character beats.

While the series is relatively low on action compared to the director's other works, it makes up...

One of the cutest moments of the 2019 Emmy Awards came courtesy of Ben Whishaw. During his candid acceptance speech for the award for best supporting actor in a limited series or movie for his role in A Very English Scandal (where he mentioned at least a couple of times how hungover he was), a touching moment came when he thanked his partner, Mark Bradshaw, for "his love and support" and "keeping [him] sane." While Bradshaw was there in the "supportive partner" role tonight, he's also a successful composer for film and television.

It was, in fact, Bradshaw's music career that first introduced him to Whishaw. Back in 2009, Bradshaw was brought on to compose the score for Bright Star, a period drama romance about poet John Keats and his love Fanny Brawne. Whishaw was starring as Keats, and the duo apparently hit it off while working on the movie. Three years later,...

But who exactly is Theo, you ask? For starters, he's 31 years old and was born in Oxford, England, earning him a spot our list of hot English eye candy. In addition to acting, he's also dabbled in the music world (and was even part of a band). While you patiently await Theo's return to the big screen in Underworld Blood Wars later this year, get to know the star in five quick facts, then flip through his sexiest stares of all time.

Actor cancels UK theatre tour of A Passionate Woman in order to receive treatment

Actor Lynda Bellingham has been diagnosed with cancer, and will cancel a nationwide theatre tour to fight the disease.

The 65-year-old actor did not reveal the nature of her disease, but has pulled out of a planned revival of Kay Mellor's comedy A Passionate Woman this autumn.

The Syndicate's Kay Mellor is to pen a new drama for BBC One.

In the Club will explore the impact of a new baby on a modern family, following six very different couples who bond at the local Parent Craft class.

"Having given birth as a teenager I know how life-changing it is," said Mellor. "Birth is the ultimate creation; it changes you and your relationships forever.

"I'm delighted to be writing for BBC One again. Both [Controller of BBC Drama Commissioning] Ben Stephenson and [BBC Head of Independent Drama] Polly Hill instinctively understand my work. They encourage and trust me to deliver; as a dramatist you couldn't ask for anything more and for that I'm eternally grateful."

Mellor's past television credits include the series Band of Gold, Fat Friends and A Passionate Woman.

Her most recent effort - BBC One drama The Syndicate - has been remade by Us network ABC as the new series Lucky 7.
