I can't wait to see my little nephews do Safari.' James was previously engaged to actress Imogen Poots, 35, before they split late 2023. They were together for seven years before their demanding careers tore them apart.

Towards the end of their relationship, he had been starring in A Little Life - a West End adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara's novel dealing with trauma and abuse - and admitted he had 'given his life' to the demanding role. 'If the work starts to compromise one's relationships, it can become unhealthy,' he reflected. 'Suddenly you realise you haven't left any space for other people and so I was p***ed off with that.'

James Norton's model ex takes savage swipe at Happy Valley actor days after their split and he joined dating app
JAMES Norton's ex girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith has "celebrated" their split by taking a savage swipe at the actor. The artist and model posted the iconic image of Nicole Kidman looking jubilant after finalising her divorce from Tom Cruise. 3 3 The 2001 picture became a viral meme and was used recently by Jenna Dewan following a contentious divorce from Channing Tatum. Charlotte posted it on her Instagram story without comment after it was reported James had signed up to celebrity dating app Raya. The 39-year-old started dating Prada model Charlotte, 25, in November of last year. It's unknown why the pair called it quits, but the meme indicates the split wasn't amicable. Charlotte was James's first public romance since he and Outer Range actress Imogen, 35, ended their six-year romance. James's profile on Raya features snaps of the star with a shaved head, which is a new look for his upcoming role in movie Sunny Dancer. He is yet to comment on Charlotte's dig on social media. Hollywood stars Nicole and Tom were married from 1990 to 2001 and adopted daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29. The Big Little Lies actress recently spoke out about the famous meme, insisting she wasn't celebrating the end of her marriage. 'That was not me,' she said. 'That was from a film. That wasn't real life. I know that image!' Happy Valley viewers know James, 39, as Tommy Lee Royce in the BBC crime drama. Earlier this year it was revealed James has signed up to star in the third series of HBO smash-hit House of the Dragon. He is stepping into the world of Westeros as Ormund Hightower in the Game of Thrones prequel. A description for the character reveals he is 'Otto's (Rhys Ifans) nephew, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Gwayne's (Freddie Fox) cousin, and the Lord of Oldtown. He is presently leading the Hightower host in a march on King's Landing to support his house against Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy).'

JAMES Norton has 'split from his model girlfriend' Charlotte Rose Smith, and has jumped straight back into the dating game by signing up to a celeb app. The renowned actor, 39, was reported to have grown close to Prada model Charlotte, 25, in November of last year. 5 5 5 The couple were all smiles as they went public with a day out in North London. And a source said at the time: 'They have been enjoying dates and seem very happy together. 'It has been a year since his relationship with Imogen ended and he appears to get on so well with Charlotte. They make a lovely couple.' But six months later, and it has now been reported that they've called time on their romance. MailOnline reports that James has now been spotted on a high profile dating app named Raya. His profile on the app is reported to feature snaps of the star with a shaved head, which is a new look for his upcoming role in movie Sunny Dancer. The Sun has contacted James' representatives for comment. Charlotte was James's first public romance since he and Outer Range actress Imogen, 35, ended their six-year romance. The pair met in 2017 while appearing in an adaptation of War and Peace and got engaged in February 2022. James and Imogen parted late last year but the split was only made public in February. Opening up about their break up, James said recently: 'Some of the choices recently weren't mine, yet I don't feel begrudging. 'I just mean that you have a certain amount of control over your life and choices you make, and at other times you don't.' Away from his love life, rumours have been swirling around that James will play the next James Bond. But James seems to have put them to bed, and addressing the rumours while at the BAFTAs, he spoke to TV presenter Alex Zane, and said: 'Whoever is deciding on these odds needs to get a new job. It's so weird and bemusing.' Actor James made the comment when told he was the bookies' favourite to take on the role of 007 next. James, 39, continued: 'Yet again it's based on pure speculation. It makes for a good clickbait moment in the media but other than that, it's fun and bemusing I guess." 5

Netflix quietly drop 'fantastic' drama starring 'superb' Happy Valley actor
James Norton has taken on a number of different roles over the years but the actor has certainly been in demand lately as yet another TV show of his hits Netflix Happy Valley sensation James Norton is currently the talk of the town as he dazzles once again in a "superb" drama that's discreetly dropped on Netflix. After recently grabbing headlines with standout performances in Joy and Playing Nice, fans are now lauding the actor as "brilliant" for his portrayal in the gripping real life story premiering on Netflix, where he nabbed one of the pivotal roles. The captivating series The Trial of Christine Keeler, which was shown on the BBC in 2019 and has now dropped on Netflix, delves into one of the 60s' most explosive scandals, infamously tagged the Profumo Affair. The tumultuous tale spotlights Christine's illicit affair with John Profumo, the Secretary of State, while simultaneously being embroiled in allegations of posing a national security threat due to her connections with a Soviet naval attaché, thus stirring a national uproar. In the drama, James embodies Stephen Ward, an osteopath among London's elite and a close confidante of Christine's, whose tragic end comes by suicide after facing charges for immorality offences linked to his role in orchestrating Christine's controversial liaisons, reports Surrey Live. Discussing his part in this enthralling Netflix feature with the BBC, James revealed: "Playing Stephen and having the opportunity to delve into this man's mind was the key draw for me for this project." With evident fascination, he added: "There are extraordinary people involved in this story and I think if you were to meet Stephen Ward now you would be entirely seduced by him and want more of his company. Being in Stephen's presence was a treat, and something his friends really hankered after once they'd had a taste of it." He added to the conversation with the broadcaster: "One can't escape the fact that he did groom young women, and that is inexcusable. But why did he do that, and what it did for him is also what's interesting.. "His voyeurism and peculiar sexual appetite are the things that make him this fascinating, weird and unique man. His was a fascination with femininity." Post-launch, the series set social media alight with fans expressing their exhilaration. One particularly impressed viewer exclaimed on X: "#TrialofChristineKeeler Great acting in the true story of Christine Keeler by @CooksonSophie. The events and trial were topic of the day in homes and working places all over Britain in the 60's." Another was full of acclaim, posting: "Late to the party, as always, but just finished CHRISTINE KEELER. Fantastic drama, with superb performances from both @CooksonSophie and @jginorton. And if that wasn't enough, the fantastic Peter Davison shows up too! Well done all." While a third enthusiast shared their review online: "What a brilliant series the #trialofchristinekeeler was. Superb writing and acting." The true story of The Trial of Christine Keeler is available to stream on Netflix now.
