Theo James has revealed the ‘Divergent’ cast bonded by going drinking with each other before and during shooting.
The 29-year-old actor – who plays Tobias ‘Four’ Eaton in the forthcoming sci-fi action movie – lived with the cast in a down town Chicago apartment building and they got to know each other during boozy nights out in town.
He said: "You really had to dive in and become friends with everyone – getting f***ed up and having nights on the town always eases that."
Director Neil Burger added: "Like corralling wild cats."
Although he had a lot of fun James also worked very hard in the gym to achieve the physical look director Niel required for the movie.
Theo revealed to Total Film magazine: "I kind of consider myself fairly in shape. I’ve done some martial arts and boxing before. But when we were doing the costume fitting, I was in a T-shirt and we were trying on jackets. I was like ‘So you know, (this character) is kind of my shape right?’ Niel was like ,’No, he’s going to be much more powerful’. I said ‘Oh s**t…’ I literally ran to the gym and spent a month there."
Futuristic thriller ‘Divergent’ also stars Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet and Zoë Kravitz.
