I'm in love with James McAvoy.

Watched Together last night and he's on the football just now. I think I've loved him since Shameless.

Anyone else?

He really is the most amazing actor and seems such a lovely bloke. I have a massive crush on him.
Split is an incredible film and vastly underrated

@AnoymousCoward

You can't have him, I saw him first.
No you didn't, I did. He's the loveliest.

Im just glad his second wife is 40 like him and he never did the usually marry someone twenty years younger. Just makes me like him more.

HOkieCOkie · 18/06/2021 20:32

He is gorgeous. It’s the eyes , the accent and wicked humour

He comes across as a very intelligent person too.

I think I'd just melt in a puddle if I saw him in Waitrose.

I loved him in Shameless.

The scene where he has to leave and Fiona decides she can't go with him makes me sob every time

moonbedazzled · 18/06/2021 20:43

I used to like him, then I saw him on Graham Norton talking about the interactions of the actors whilst making X-men. His behaviour sounded adolescent (not sexual). I've always looked on him as a bit pathetic since. He and his wife split nit long after. Maybe she realised he was pathetic too.

Ickythefirebobby · 18/06/2021 20:44

@IdblowJonSnow

Do not get the love for JM at all. Find him smug and pretentious.

There was one film I thought he was brilliant in though, which was The Last King of Scotland.

I agree. He’s very smug. He also ditched his wife when he became very successful.
Charley50 · 18/06/2021 20:47

@Bridezillamaybe

Oh come on ladies, he is a faun! Please redirect your attention to someone irrefutably deserving such as Idris Elba.

I'll second that! He does nothing for me.

@Ickythefirebobby people divorce and split up all the time it's not necessarily to
do with his success. From what I've heard him and Anne Marie Duff are on vey good terms.

[cough] you do know what fauns are renowned for?

Wearing scarves without a jumper and selling out kids?

NigellaSeed · 18/06/2021 20:50

Yes. But I thought he was a bit bratty on bake off, throwing stuff around.

Still would though

namcybotwinbloom · 18/06/2021 20:50

I watched split. I made me very uncomfortable because he is the spit of my ex and has the same split personality traits!

I do like him as an actor though.

Split made me feel uncomfortable for weeks. I want to see the follow up but not sure if it's worth it for the feeling it gave me on the first one!

He is not my type but saw him play Macbeth on the infamous night he broke character to tell someone to "stop fucking filming", he was so amazing that I've been a fangirl ever since
