Shailene Woodley Campaigns For Her Divergent Boyfriend Theo James To Land Game Of Thrones Role

Theo James has already popped up in Downton Abbey but could the British hunk star in another TV smash hit?

The actor can currently be seen starring opposite rumoured real life love interest Shailene Woodley in Divergent, based on Veronica Roth's hit teen novel series. During a recent interview with Total Film to promote their movie, Shailene and Theo were asked about their favourite TV shows, when Game of Thrones came up.

Theo admitted that he hasn't managed to catch the show which has just kicked off its fourth season: "I actually haven't but I like watching TV!" he admits. But Shailene was adamant that Theo should not only become a fan but should get himself a part too!

"I think you would be in that", she tells her co-star. Theo unfortunately doesn't show much interest though, instead revealing his alternative telly obsession: "I've been watching True Detective, that's my HBO geek-out at the moments. It's great", he gushes.

Meanwhile we could be seeing Theo star in another book to big screen project soon, as fans link him to the lead role in the adaptation of Becca Fitzpatrick's bestselling novel, Hush Hush.

The rights for Fitzpatrick's four part novel series were optioned back in 2012 but so far we've heard little about the first movie, which was originally scheduled to start shooting last autumn.

Fan speculation has stepped up a gear though with many debating that the Divergent hunk  could be up for the part of Patch Cipriano. Hush, Hush follows Nora Grey, a 16-year-old who catches the attention of Patch, her gorgeous, yet mysterious biology partner, who is later revealed to be a fallen angel desperate to be human again.

Fans have pointed to Theo's role in Underworld where he played a vampire as the perfect practice for the fantasy role. But will the actor really want to commit to another major franchise on top of his ties to the Divergent series?
