Theo James predicted he would be labelled 'the new' Robert Pattinson.

Asked about the 'Water for Elephants' star, the 29-year-old actor joked: "I'd never heard that [comparison] before."

He added: "I'd heard Brad Pitt, Clooney, any legend... Inevitably there's going to be comparisons, we're both British, brown hair."

Meanwhile, his co-star Shailene Woodley doesn't mind being measured against 'The Hunger Games' star Jennifer Lawrence and considers the Oscar-winner, 23, a close friend, even though they have yet to meet.

She told Yahoo! Lifestyle UK: "She's given me advice - I still have yet to meet her. She told me to go for the role if I believed in the character and the storyline."

But the 22-year-old brunette beauty is determined to focus on her own career and insists she doesn't feel under pressure to be a role model.

She said: "We don't read articles about ourselves and we don't Google ourselves - we feel removed from that. I don't feel any pressure to be anything but me."
