Theo James calls Trinity Bellwoods very sexy in Toronto visit

Theo James gave Toronto’s Trinity Bellwoods a very specific review this week, calling the West Queen West spot “Very cool, very hipster, very sexy!” The 41-year-old actor also called it a “Good summer hangout.”

Trinity Bellwoods and the waterfront

James said the city’s waterfront was nice, even if the weather was “sh*t” while he was trying to enjoy fresh air. That keeps his Toronto run centered on places fans can actually go, not just sets and premiere rooms.

He has not been spending much time in Toronto since shooting Backstabbing for Beginners in 2016, so the current visit stands out as a rare return to the city while he works. He is filming The Bookie and the Bruiser in Toronto with Vince Vaughan, and production is expected to run until the end of May.

Dufferin Mall drew early attention

Two weeks before the article was published, fans spotted James shopping at Dufferin Mall. At a surprise screening of Fuze at Scotiabank Theatre this weekend, he said Dufferin Mall was “one of the most amazing places I've ever been to in my life” and “It was like paradise.”

He said he was at the mall’s Walmart to shop for a new crib for his son, a practical stop that fits the wider pattern of his Toronto sightings. James has two small children with wife Ruth Kearney, which makes the mall remark less like celebrity color and more like a working parent running errands in public.

Toronto’s fan trail

The throughline is simple: James is naming places in Toronto that fans can physically visit, from Trinity Bellwoods to the waterfront to Dufferin Mall. For anyone tracking his presence in the city, the useful part is not the quote alone but the map it creates.

With filming set to continue until the end of May, Toronto will likely keep seeing James in everyday settings rather than just at formal events. That is the most likely outcome here: more neighborhood sightings, more attention on the city’s west side, and a few more places added to the fan route.
