Today, the next tween heartthrob from England just turned 29 years old. Come March, the beautiful Theo James will be on movie screens wearing tight black shirts, making intense eye contact with Shailene Woodley, and throwing knives as the character “Four” in the Divergent series. And while he may soon have legions of women forever hypnotized by his very existence, always remember that the fans of Downton Abbey claimed him first. He made himself unforgettable as the short-lived Turkish diplomat (and Lady Mary’s passionate lover) Kemal Pamuk.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Pamuk!
