I was incredibly nervous, James tells EW about that original performance.

It was taking something that was just a silly fun hobby of mine to the performance/talent level.

According to James, the flexibility is something he was born with.

It doesnt take rigorous physical training to maintain, but he has honed it for most of his life.

The flexibility is something I was just born with innately.

Since I was a little kid it was something I was able to do, James says.

It was perfect, because I grew up with the stories, James recalls.

I loved the books, all the kids our age did.

I never wouldve thought, many many years later that Id have a chance to participate.

So the answer was definitely yes, I cant wait.
