"Divergent" star Theo James recently opened up about his family and his relationship with his brother.
During an interview with Flickering Myth, the actor revealed that his entire family is quite cynical when it comes to his acting career. He also recounted a time when his eldest brother laughed at a song that he created when he was a teenager.
"We're a jokingly cynical family. I was 13 and I had written this really cheesy song that I wanted to him. I sat him down and I had my guitar and I just opened my heart. I finished the song which was terrible and he just burst out laughing," he said.
At that time, James' eldest brother told him to never take anything too seriously because it can be damaging.
"He still takes the piss out of me now, he calls it 'Why?' because it was all about why do I feel these things or something like that. You can't take this stuff too seriously. If you start taking yourself or it too seriously, I think it can be damaging," he explained.
Meanwhile, James has been very vocal about his experiences filming Veronica Roth's trilogy, namely, "Divergent," "Insurgent" and "Allegiant."
According to Movie News Guide, James previously revealed that he and co-star Shailene Woodley felt awkward towards each other while they were on the set of their first film together.
"On the one hand it makes it much easier because it's more relaxed. On the other you have to make sure you don't become lazy or complacent because it can be a bit like, oh we know what we're doing, no problem. You have to keep reminding yourselves to be on your toes. On 'Divergent' we didn't really know each other so there was still that feeling of wanting to make a good impression," he said.
"Allegiant - Part 1" will be released in the United States on Mar. 18, 2016.
