As well as his acting career, James is also taking classes at five universities and in his accompanying interview in the magazine, the 35-year-old star spoke of his interest in ‘queer theory’ after taking a class with Michael Warner, one of the founders of the school of thought.
The screen star, who has played gay or bisexual characters in Howl, Blind Spot and Milk – said: “Basically, it’s a wide-reaching approach to whatever - literature, life, politics. It is on the most basic level an anti-normative approach to all of these subjects. One approach to things might be to classify everything as, ‘This is straight, this is gay; this is Republican, this is Democrat,’ whatever. The queer approach is to complicate all of that and see the way all of these different things are intermingled and connected.”
