Why Theo James Isn't A Fan Of Social Media

Just like Robert Pattinson, Theo James isn't about the whole Hollywood scene. As far as he's concerned, the less info there is out there about him, the better. "I don't have [Twitter and Instagram] and I never will," he told Flaunt (via E! News). "Other actors I know are really good at it and they rock and roll it, but it's not for me. If I post a picture ... and get loads of views or comments and stuff, then suddenly you're quite exposed and you're in a world of work. I just like being present."

In addition to working to remain present, James has struggled with becoming a sex symbol. The face of Hugo Boss, he'd like to be known for more than just his good looks — hence why he avoids the narcissism inherent in social media. "I'm a little allergic to selfies and I'm not on social media — I find it a bit invasive, and very self-centered," he told The Standard in 2017, adding that he doesn't like to take pictures with his fans. For James, it's all about being "multi-dimensional," or taking on roles that expose his different sides. Even so, he doesn't define himself by the work he does. Instead, acting is "a way of making money and I am satisfied by it, but beyond work it doesn't hold value for me," he said in an interview with Esquire. "For me, family and friends, those things are timeless."
