We could stare at Theo James in Divergent all day every day but it turns out his character Four isn't all about the tats and those eyes...
Veronica Roth, the author behind the smash hit YA series, has recently released her new spin-off book 'Four: A Divergent Collection' which ditches Tris to follow the hero in his early days as a Dauntless initiate.
Made up of five stories told from his viewpoint, the new book includes pre-Divergent tales as well as one final story, The Traitor, which catches up with the events of the first book, but this time we see the events through Four's eyes.
Roth has been giving a few interviews about the new book, with one comment she made to MTV catching our attention. The author explains that her creation Tobias "Four" Eaton isn't actually as sexy as we all think.
"He's sort of a mysterious figure," she explains. "Even throughout the [original 'Divergent'] series, we're always learning his secrets. When you actually get inside his head, he's not nearly as sexy and mysterious as he sounds."
Someone might wanna tell Theo James that then. But we can see Veronica's point, in the new stories we learn a lot more about Four, which his character broken down and his insecurities laid bare:
"He's an unsure person, who is going through a very difficult time and has to decide what he's going to do in these very challenging situation," says Veronica. "It demystifies him and makes him more human."
With the prequel stories following Four as a teen, it's unlikely if a film is made of his early years that 29-year-old Theo would be be cast again, especially as his character was already aged up for the Divergent movie. But we're liking this idea from Epic Reads, for keeping Theo close when reading about young Four...
