JAMES NORTON - the most talented and NICEST young actor?

[XelaM]

I just met James Norton outside the Harold Pinter Theatre where he was signing autographs and talking to fans after his show. I could not believe how incredibly nice and talkative he was with everyone. He was coming up to everyone and spending ages having a chat with every fan. Really being incredibly nice and chatty despite it being nearly midnight and him having had to go through 4 hours of the gruelling performance in A Little Life. I have never seen any "big" celebrity be this nice to fans.

Aside from that, how unbelievably talented is this man?! From Gantchester, McMafia, Happy Valley and his stage performance- al completely different characters but absolutely brilliantly played. And of course he's beautiful 😍 (and isn't he a Cambridge graduate?).

I'm in love 😻 (in a crazy stalkerish way of course 😂)

What is your "AIBU"??

It is JAMES NORTON 😍 - what could your AIBU POSSIBLY BE?!!

Oh my goodness that’s lovely - genuinely amazing actor and he sounds so educated & an all round good person

That man was edible in McMafia

Haha 😂 that's right!

Wasn't he?!? Absolutely superb. That show was brilliant and very true to reality (I'm Russian and it was incredibly well-made). Great screenplay and of course unbelievable acting from the one and only James Norton 😍(as well as the whole cast)

He was an absolute sweetheart to everyone and spent ages talking to each person. Anyone who wants to meet him - I'm not sure if he does it after every performance, but he came out at to chat to fans after the A Little Life show (the evening performance).

Next James Bond?

🤞🏻 but didn't they already announce it's going to be someone else? 😭

He's absolutely lovely. Would we describe him as young though? I mean he's not old but must be in his 40s. Not that it matters obviously.

I got a bit hot under the collar when he did the Tommy Lee Royce spiderman impression and went off on the bike

Brilliant actor and great to hear he's a good guy too.

No, I don’t believe so. JN has been mentioned, but I don’t think he’s a front runner.

He’d be fantastic, has the looks, charisma and acting ability.

He’s gorgeous, I would have been slack jawed and drooling to meet him. 😍

He’s 37 apparently, so perfect.

I saw him in A Little Life recently and was absolutely blown away by his performance.
He was utterly brilliant.
It wasn't an easy watch, but I'm glad I went, so pleased to hear he's a nice a guy too.

Absolutely. I can totally see him as James Bond. He was so hot as Alex in McMafia and I'm ashamed to say I also thought Tommy Lee Royce was super hot 🤣and of course he was beautiful as the (womanising) priest in Grantchester

I hated the subject-matter of the play and the awful book it's based on, but his performance in the play is truly unbelievable. And of course the fact that he gets undressed is a bonus 😂

James must be the next Bond especially as I’ve got a bet on with my DH.😀He is such talented actor & I’m glad to hear a nice man too.

Haha me too! But Season 1 is my favourite. It was just perfection from beginning to end. And he was very very handsome (despite being a murdering rapist 🫣). But then I also liked Robert Durst on The Jinx so there is clearly something very wrong with me 😂

I so hope you win that bet!!!!!! He would make the perfect James Bond and I will boycott all James Bon films if it's not him 😡

That will teach the producers a lesson 🤪

Yes, I'm totally shocked by how nice and chatty he is.

Pun

He’s in his late 30’s !

So am I. It's a perfect match 😍

We are actually the same age (which is why I consider him young 😂 )

I hated the book, but loved the play.
Not for the faint hearted but it was excellent.
I'd forgotten all about Tommy Lee Royce after about 5 minutes, and if you'd asked me beforehand if James Norton could play TLR and Jude, I'd have said no way and laughed at the suggestion, yet he did play both brilliantly.

Yes, I agree! And Alex in McMafia and the priest on Grantchester - all completely different characters that have nothing in common with each other and he played them all absolutely brilliantly.

Just bumping so more people know how incredibly nice James Norton was to fans when he could have easily gone home ignoring everyone because it was almost midnight and he spent 4 hours on stage of the VERY intense play (to put it mildly) where he is literally on stage in every single scene and gives an unbelievable performance.

He's an absolute class act and just incredibly talented.
