If he wasn't an actor, he'd be a musician (or a porn star).
In an interview with InStyle Magazine back in March, the British heartthrob revealed he would have probably "been a poor musician" if he wasn't acting, jokingly adding, "I'd definitely do porn as well, but just classy porn with long story lines. I'd be a Latin dancer."

Is he single?
Despite various reports, Theo James is not engaged nor married, but he is dating actress Ruth Kearney. While Theo is known for keeping his personal life private, the pair has been spotted together on several occasions ever since they hit the red carpet at the premiere of the Underworld: Awakening in 2012. He's also gone on record saying, "The meaning of romance is spontaneity. I'm not great with gifts, but I'm good at random fun stuff, like taking trips and being able to say 'f*ck it' and go somewhere for a weekend."
