Inbetweeners star James Buckley shuts down reunion hopes

An Inbetweeners star known for playing Jay Cartwright has slammed calls for a reunion in a recent interview.

James Buckley, who rose to fame in 2008 on the E4 programme, was asked by Made In Chelsea star Spencer Mathews about returning.

However, James previously admitted that not even “all the money in the world” could tempt, let alone convince him to reunite with his co-stars.

The coming-of-age show and movie followed a group of teenage boys as they struggled with family, friendships, school and romance.

James Buckley‘s iconic Inbetweeners character became iconic to UK audiences thanks to his compulsive lying and sex-obsessed mind.

In 2011, James even received a BAFTA nomination for the role and performance on the E4 show.

James Buckley slams Inbetweeners reunion, saying ‘there’s not enough money in the world’

When talking with Spencer Mathews on the Big Fish podcast, he was asked about a reunion with the other boys.

However, James Buckley was quick to hint that no such reunion would happen and that he had no plans to play Jay ever again because of his age.

He said: “You know, lot of people still ask if there’s going to be some more Inbetweeners, and my answer is always the same.”

The 35-year-old added: “I always go look at me, look at a state of me, look how old and haggard I am, and I’m the youngest out of the boys.”

Previously, the star said that “there’s not enough money in the world” for him to return to the role.

However, he did say that he’s open to working with his former co-stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison.

He said: “I’d love to do something different with the boys, but this was the one job in my life that ticked all the boxes. I loved doing it.”

Adding: “I thought it was good. I’m proud of it. I got to do it with my friends. I had so much fun doing it and loads of other people loved us doing it as well.”
