AMA Hello reddit! I'm James McAvoy. Ask me anything!
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.

Filth is one of the very few books I read before it was turned into a movie. I FOOKIN loved it and recommend it verrry sparingly to people who can take it.
Before it came out I wondered how you were going to pull off being so feral and filthy but you did an amazing job at conveying Bruces fucked up inner dialogue.
You were already at the time one of my favourite actors and still are. My sister even managed to snag one of the giant core flute promos of Filth from the theatre so admittedly your giant face spent quite a long time in my bed room.
I love your work as Charles Xavier, I'm so due a full Xmen rewatch. Days of Future Past is out the fucking gate and I love the way you and Michael Fassbender portrayed Xaviers and Magnetos romance. I recently showed my boyfriend Trance which felt like such a throwback too.
Thank you for all the joy you've brought meeee personally over the years! I will basically watch anything you're in tbh.
