'Bringing Divergent to Life' first clip - Theo James topless getting tattoos

Vulture has the first exclusive clip from the documentary "Bringing Divergent to Life" that will be available with the Digital HD release on 7/22 and the Blu-ray on August 5.

Vulture is debuting an exclusive featurette from the home-video release ofDivergent, and we'd like you to know that it involves talking. As people talk, you will learn how the art department came up with the tattoos that covered the back of Dauntless hero Four, and how a team of craftsmen painstakingly applied those designs to Theo James. We're telling you about the talking in advance, dear reader, because once you press play on this video, you might not hear any of it. You may, in fact, find yourself far too distracted by the many shots of James and his shirtless, muscular back to even realize that the participants in this video are speaking English.
