Rising star, Theo James, proves he not only has the good looks, but he also has an open mind.
The Divergent star told The Advocate that he wishes there were more powerful roles for women.
“I think true masculinity comes from having a strong sense of self,” he said. “Part of what drew me to Four was his concept of masculinity, specifically in how he relates to Tris and their relationship. He’s intrigued by her but respectful of her bravery and her personality traits. He’s constantly trying to push her to be as strong as possible.”
The British actor added, "Her being strong doesn't de-masculate him, and hopefully that's pushing a more positive message about gender equality."
James also revealed he’s all-for the entertainment industry having an LGBT superhero, however, he isn’t sure if it will happen in the near future.
“I remember when Queer as Folk came out and thinking, 'Things are changing. Maybe there will be more [shows like this].' And then suddenly there was a drought. Hopefully the day [we have a gay action hero] isn't far away."
According to People, the 29-year-old will be in the film London Fields alongside Johnny Depp, but you can catch him in the first Divergent film out Friday, March 21.
