“I was told I resemble Justin Bieber,” he shared. “Ever since, I’ve made a conscious effort in my fashion choices to appear older—specifically aiming for 50 plus—due to the sheer terror of looking like the Biebs.”
Although Theo conceded that Justin is “quite the handsome young man,” the notion of looking similar did not appeal to him, especially considering their nearly decade-wide age difference.
“This was when [Justin] was roughly about 12 years old,” he further clarified.
Throughout the roundtable, Theo also delved into his prominent role on The White Lotus, and his versatile acting in The Gentlemen.
“Portraying that role was exhilarating. To me, he epitomized the quintessence of Americana, embodying its virtues and its flaws—he is charismatic yet devious,” he commented. “Hence, for The Gentlemen, I aimed for a complete departure—to embody something quintessentially British.”
