You view my circumstances as unfortunate, though I cannot claim even a portion of the misfortune to those whom I most closely resemble. My greatest misfortune would be to marry into a family who would carry me as their shame, as I have been required to carry my own mother. Her apparent crime to be born negro, and mine to be to be the evidence. Since I wish to deny her no more than I wish to deny myself, you will pardon me for wanting a husband who feels ‘forgiveness’ of my bloodline is both unnecessary and without grace.

Do you have a new year’s resolution? I want to say swim more and smoke less — I try to swim as much as I can and smoke as little as I can, but it’s usually the other way around. Smoking’s so much easier than swimming.

Do you feel part of a movement of interesting, young British actors? It’s great because obviously there are people slightly older than me, such as Tom Hardy and Tom Hiddleston, who are in America, taking things on. It’s exciting for those of us in our 20s — they’ve opened up so many doors for us. A friend was doing a casting in LA and asked why they wanted so many British actors, and they said, “Because you’re f*cking great.”

That's his girlfriend Eleanor Wyld, no? On the radio program he was on, he said he met his girlfriend on Bonobo. He's been pretty discreet about keeping this stuff private, but a few more great performances and the paps are going to do an "Eddie Redmayne" on him. We'll be seeing photos of James carrying potted plants in the Daily Mail.

Yeah, I do think Eleanor Wyld is his girlfriend, but since I never saw any confirmation on interviews and his private life is still very private, I didn’t really want to affirm anything.And yes, I wonder now that he’s going to be on War and Peace how big will be the tabloids interest in him. Let’s hope it won’t affect his life in a bad way!

which award did James present? Is it possible to see any footage if you live in the U.S.?

Hi! James presented the Best Lighting Design & Best Sound Design award. So far I’ve only seen the ceremony available at ITV Player which unfortunately is for UK residents only, but I’ll keep an eye to see if anything pops on Youtube or else.

This is his first BAFTA nomination and both the show and Happy Valley's leading actress (Sarah Lancashire) were also nominated! The ceremony will take place in London, May 10. Wishing them all and specially James the best of luck!
