'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' leading man Theo James talked about dealing with fame and playing his character Four. His co-actress Shailene Woodley also admitted in an interview that James is a good kisser.
According to website TV3.ie, James revealed that although fame is part of his job, he isn't necessarily thrilled by the position it puts him in. He said, ''To be honest, one thing that's trickier is what's happening now with how connected we are globally is the blurring of the lines between being an actor as your job and being a celebrity. That is tricky."
He continued to talk about how in the end, acting is a job and celebrity - whether it is accepted or not - will just be the media's perception of that actor or actress. He also admitted that despite his success, he remained grounded.
He added, "I'm still the same person so it hasn't really changed me. It's not like I go to trendy parties, that's not particularly my thing, not that there's anything wrong with it... So I don't think it needs to change you unless you want it to.''
In another interview with Flickering Myth, he relayed that his acting job is "very gratifying and challenging" calling sinking into a certain character as fun. When it came to his role of Tobias 'Four' Eaton in the 'Divergent' series, he said that it all comes down to the preparation of getting to know the character and making it your own without focusing too much on other people's opinions.
When asked about what it was like working alongside co-actor Woodley again, he admitted that even though they've done it before, getting back into character for a first scene isn't as easy as it seemed. He said, "It doesn't just come back, you've got to click into gear."
Woodley, who will be reprising her role in the 2-part final installation of the series, is all geared up for her concluding role as the protagonist Beatrice 'Tris' Prior. As Four's love interest, she and James had spent several intimate scenes together with both being quite frank in sharing details of this on-screen chemistry in interviews.
In her exclusive interview with Melty, Woodley openly acknowledged that her co-actor was a good kisser in answer to a fan question posted during the Q&A portion. This was in addition to revealing what her character would have to go through in the last two films.
'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' will feature the culmination of events from the past films based on author Veronica Roth's popular young adult trilogy. The science-fiction and adventure film will be split into two, with the first part to be released on March 18, 2016.
