Theo James, known for his roles in “The White Lotus” and “Divergent,” recently revealed a shocking incident that made him switch career paths from aspiring rock star to successful actor.
During an appearance on the “Kelly Clarkson Show,” James recounted a particularly “gross” moment from his days as a musician. He shared that while performing on stage, a bottle of urine was thrown at him, prompting him to reconsider his career choice.
“It was a strange, sweaty, horrible gig,” James recalled. “I think the act before us was late and everyone was kind of inebriated and angry and someone decided that the best way to deal with that was pee in a bottle and throw it at someone’s face.”
This incident was just one of the many challenges James faced early in his career, including having his foot crushed on stage during a performance. Despite these setbacks, James eventually found success in the acting world, taking on roles that sometimes require nudity.
In his latest role in “The White Lotus,” James had a particularly revealing scene that he described as “way too much.” The actor joked that it’s in his contract to be completely naked in every project, but he and the production team decided to reshoot the scene in a slightly more subtle manner.
James also explained that nudity in “The White Lotus” serves a specific purpose and helps drive the plot forward. He emphasized that the show’s nudity is always intentional and not gratuitous.
Overall, Theo James’ journey from aspiring rock star to accomplished actor is a testament to his resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
