James Norton's appearance comes after he revealed he was so badly bullied at school that he's having therapy 20 years later. The actor, 37, admitted 'it's only now' that he's 'recognising the effect' of his troubled past and 'what it's done to him'. 'I had quite a grim time,' he told the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential in August. 'It's only now, in my later life as an adult, that I'm recognising that effect and what it has done to me.'

'It's definitely formed a part of me and allowed me maybe to access characters and people that I'm playing in a certain way and certain empathy.'

James said that it's 'crazy and quite flattering' to be considered a replacement for James Bond - although him being considered is 'pure speculation'.
