James revealed in an interview for The Telegraph:

“As a shorter man, I sometimes get told I’m too short for a role. Or even when I get a role, I’m made to feel like, well, of course, we’

I find him attractive but OMG i did not know he was 5'7...

I wonder who the female is. He has worked with Angelina, Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain, i don't think it's any of them. Let me check his imdb

My first thought was Angelina

[sobremarina]

angelina doesn't make sense because his character in 'wanted' was supposed to be a nerdy office worker who gets a male action hero makeover. like the point was that she was out of his league lol

[evett]

Yeah but in hollywood a hot girl puts on glasses + a ponytail and shes a nerd. So it wouldnt be all that crazy for angelina (who was considered the most gorgeous actress at that time) to expect the same.

what was she smoking, he is so hot unf

Right, I’m reading this without my glasses going “...I don’t think I’m reading this correctly.”

James as Robbie still really does it for me

“because nobody would believe [he] would be with someone like her.”

sounds like she doesn't deserve him, tbh. I can't imagine having to pretend to be in a relationship for weeks with someone who's so far up their ass. I mean, you get paid mega bucks for it, but still, I don't think I could manage it.

Plus, I'm 5'2, so no one would believe anyone tall would want to be with me.

He's getting hotter with age imo.

[shittysoup]

Agreed. He's super charming too.

I worked with a girl who had a massive crush on him and then he actually came into the store and she was like "nevermind..."

But she was 4'11 and so I don't think it was the height that did it

[dearprudence8]

Was it his looks irl or was he an asshole?

[little_giant]

I think she had just built up an idea of him in her head and when she meant him she was like "...oh". I don't remember him being unpleasant.

[zazie_toujours]

lol oh absolutely. i've met celebs i've had huge crushes on and it's always just like oh hang on you're just a person not prince charming come to take me away from all this.
