The Group Chat! Theo James on Heartbreak and Why He's Not as Posh as You Think | The Group Chat

Josh Smith's Great Chat Show

Show Notes

You've been added to the group chat. Each week we invite our celebrity guests into the group chat and ask them your questions. Quick fire questions, honest answers. Anything goes in the group chat.

This week we're sliding into the DMs with Theo James — the British actor you know and love from Divergent, The White Lotus, and The Gentlemen. He reveals the last time he had his heart broken, sets the record straight on whether he's actually posh and explains why he's gone completely off the social media grid. He also shares the advice he'd give his younger self: "Don't take yourself so seriously, don't compare yourself, and enjoy the moment."

About Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show

Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is a podcast built on one belief: connection comes first.

After decades as a journalist interviewing some of the world’s most recognisable faces - from Jennifer Aniston to Timothée Chalamet - Josh has learned that great conversations don’t just happen. There’s an art to a truly great chat, and when you join the conversation, it might just spark something in your own life.

Each week, Josh sits down with actors, musicians, athletes, creators and cultural voices for honest conversations about resilience, identity, ambition, advocacy, mental health and the moments that shape who we become. Guests drop their guard and open up about the setbacks, breakthroughs and defining experiences behind the public persona.

If you’re looking for depth, vulnerability, reinvention and meaningful human connection, you’re in the right place.
