Here's an old interview with Theo from Vanity Fair magazine from back in October 2011:
"He made a big impact in a smallish part as the swishy, smouldering Turkish toff in Downton Abbey.
Theo James's legion of admirers would perhaps be horrified to hear not
only that he used to box while a philosophy student in Nottingham
University but also, and surely much worse, that he's started boxing
again. What about the face? "Well it's great for your fitness and
coordination," he says "But I'm still just a lanky dork. Ironically
learning to box doesn't make you any tougher, it just makes you realise
that if you actually got into a real fight you'd probably get your arse
kicked." Having two brothers and two sisters provides another source of
perspective. Against the sighs of admiration coming from fans of Downton Abbey, You will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Bedlam and A Passionate Woman,
Theo has to contend with his siblings more, shall we say, measured
criticism, "One of my sisters saw an ad for something I was in and said
'Yeah, the ad looks great, you look like Quincy.' And I said 'Quincy!
Which Quincy?' And she said 'You know, our Quincy - the family dog."
He may however have the last laugh - any canine likeness, along with
boxing skills, might just come in handy in his upcoming role role
alongside Kate Beckinsale in the vampire versus werewolf adventure Underworld:Awakening"
