British actor Theo James, protagonist of the new Netflix series, ‘The Gentlemen’, surprised his fans by revealing one of the jobs he had before becoming an actor. James, who is already well-known to the public for his roles in successful productions such as ‘White Lotus’ and ‘Divergent’, recounted the bizarre activity he performed for a while before fame.
James, who is the son of a business consultant father and a mother who worked for the NHS, the British national health system, spoke to LADbible about his former occupation; the actor collected and cleaned hospital furniture from deceased people. “My mother got me a lot of jobs, you know, early in my career, and in this one, I had to go pick up furniture and then clean it,” he explained.
“Yes, it was actually quite complicated, because it was very grim, but after someone dies, they have a lot of things that need to be reused for someone else in the NHS system; “So you have to go to these homes, with these grieving people, and you have to say ‘Can I take that bed back?'”
In ‘The Gentlemen’, an 8-part series directed by Guy Ritchie, the 39-year-old actor portrays the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman, in a kind of spin-off of the 2019 film of the same name, starring Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant.
