To want to know why Imogen Poots broke up with James Norton

Well if you knew anything about T1D, before casting aspersions on someone who has it, you’d know it can affect your sex life especially in men, but carry on mocking.

His education is in his Wiki. No it is class-ist and snobbery to assume intelligence because someone went to university. Cambridge has a running joke about people who did Land Economics not being ‘ as intelligent’ because of the low entrance criteria attracting people who want a Cambridge degree but couldn’t get into the others. There is a similar judgement about the History of Art degree. Also there’s millions of people who critically study theology at seminary - and a largely uneducated and illiterate population can follow along the teachings of Buddhism and Hinduism - that’s the point of theology, that absolutely everyone can access it! It doesn’t require intelligence. Only a wealthy and privileged person would pay money to learn it and get a degree out of it - to evidence achievement and apparently intelligence.

I get the feeling he’s a bit vanilla in bed

I must say there are some horrible posts on this thread, bordering on defamatory.

The guy has a serious medical condition which affects every aspect of his life, (which as a parent of fellow sufferer can be a waking nightmare sometimes), including relationships and professionally I should imagine, but he’s obviously worked hard to become successful despite it, and I’ve never heard anything bad about him so leave him the fuck alone!

He thinks men can be women, so he’s clearly more than a bit dim. I find men that are willing to give away women’s rights very unattractive. They tend not to be very nice deep down.

That lilac cardi was an instant ick moment for me

I am sure his ex felt the same. She obviously tried but after what a year or so she just couldn’t any longer put it to the back of her mind

Irony is clearly not your strong point.

Oh here we go......... 🙄

They were only together 5 years and she was in the US for most of it doing long distance. Maybe spending time together more made her realise how difficult it was. I was long distance with someone for 2 years, he came back, we lived together and I broke up with him within 6 months because domestic life had no place to hide the annoying habits I had glossed over. In long distance you’re always showing your best side when you do see each other. Also the things you tolerate when young suddenly become a problem when you put them in the context of family and children.

How on earth could you possibly know this? What a thoroughly mean spirited comment.

When you say 'it apparently doesn't require great intelligence' you actually mean 'in my opinion it probably doesn't take a lot of great intelligence.'

Truth be told you know nothing about this degree.

I think the little life play brought up past trauma and it was such an intense play - if you’ve seen it you’ll have been traumatised just watching. And I think his run put him into a dark place. Also doing that and having to manage type 1 diabetes. I suspect there wasn’t alot left for a relationship

Not rtft so sorry if this is a repeat but I read an interview with him where he said he was completely obsessed with his role in A Little Life, and realised in retrospect he must gave been quite hard to live with and that like so many actors, work endlessly took them away from each other. He sounded like he regretted it.

What did he say in interviews that made it seem splitting up wasn't his choice?

100% this. I have heard this from everyone who has ever met him. From colleagues and producers etc, to fans. Always polite and lovely.

He may be different to date. By his own admission he is quite hard work. (I would still like to find out myself though haha. LOL. 😊)

I don't know if he's nice or not. But I heard that back in the Cambridge days, he played for the other team 100%. I have no proof and it's entirely his business and I don't care, and he's welcome to swap it about if that makes life better IMHO

He studied theology at Cambridge with a focus on Hinduism and Buddhism apparently which doesn’t require great intelligence tbf.

This is really not true. I have worked with this man and he is genuinely delightful and unfailingly polite and kind.

Religious? I just googled it - says 'catholic'. Very interesting branch of Catholicism, sleeps with women and parts ways with them? But what do I know...

I remember her from 28 Weeks Later years ago.

Yep, type 1 diabetes - he says he injects himself upto 15 times a day with insulin and it runs in his family. Also he says in this interview he’s a terrible hypochondriac - my closest friend is one and I’d go mad living with her. I think he’s also religious or has more than a keen interest in religion (you’d have to be to study theology and he has admitted it) whereas I don’t think Imogen Poots is. Not agreeing on religion would be a deal breaker for most people.

This made me LOL

I actually don’t know who he is or recognise him, I was thinking of Edward Norton. But he’s surprisingly 55 according to the Google search I just did, so combine me not realising that with me not knowing who this James Norton is and I can see I am totally out of touch!

But, I have heard of Imogen Poots and seen her in things, and just from looking at those pictures I can’t see the attraction with this guy and I think she could do better. Also just because he said it wasn’t his choice, doesn’t mean it wasn’t his fault…maybe he cheated and she refused to accept it.
