James Thomas Howard Thompson • 2026-10-03 • Reviewed by Sofia Lindberg

Born in London on 29 September 1968, he traded the drum stool of Bros for film sets and never quite looked back, even as his twin brother Matt kept the Bros story alive on stage — yet between the arena years and the action films, one question keeps following him: what happened between the brothers, and how rich did he actually get?
