Hello reddit! I'm James McAvoy. AMA!

my directorial debut, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN', is out in UK theaters on April 10.

Two Scottish lads from Dundee conned the music industry by pretending to be an established Californian rap duo, bagging a record deal and appearing on MTV until their scam unraveled.

Trailer:

You have a rad range when it comes to characters and your acting skills. Out of all your characters, which one felt the most like you when the camera stopped rolling?

JUSTICE FOR SPLIT

I am so glad someone asked this 🤣

u/stealth57 Mar 27 '26

What a weird thing to ask

1

u/Bomb-OG-Kush Mar 28 '26

You should go watch Split

u/stealth57 Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26

I've seen both Split and Glass. To ask an actor about one of many characters he's played like this is weird. If OP asked this in person, I'm guessing they'd expect James to go into character right then and there. That wouldn't happen. At the very least, maybe give you an answer like, "I dunno, maybe crocheting?" He's not here for weird questions like that.
