James Norton news: London theatres may ban phones after illicit photos of James Norton published, experts say

The Independent: London theatres may consider taking audiences’ phones away during performances after naked photos of James Norton were published by the Daily Mail. The Happy Valley star currently appears in the stage adaptation of the 2015 novel A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, which involves a nude scene for his character Jude.

The fact that a person or company would publish this kind of content is disgusting and sickening. I think that it is even worse that they never made any apology or expressed any regret for what they did. I feel absolutely horrible for the actor and everyone involved in this situation. The trust that has been breached is something that can permanently damage the relationship between the actor and the audience. I am very glad that the pictures were taken down quickly, but sadly they will still be out there for eternity. I hope that in the future, the actor will be able to overcome what has happened and not let it affect their life. I am also hopeful that things like this will not happen again. I think that the precautions they are taking to prevent things like this are good and while locking up phones is sad, it may be necessary.
