X-Men: First Class cutie James McAvoy was snapped in London, England yesterday, June 2, looking scruffy as he was visiting the Graham Norton show at ITV studios.
Check out an interview James gave last week speaking about his role in the X-Men:
I’m kinda bummed by January Jones‘ dress here, because she had been looking absolutely adorable lately! Pregnancy suits her! Even in jeans and a t-shirt she looks amazing. So why am I not feeling this dress, designed by Preen? I think I just expected more. It’s not horrible, but it’s definitely not amazing.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo let’s move on to the rumor mill! Guess who was absent (as far as I can tell) from the ‘X-Men’ premiere last night? The director, Matthew Vaughn. Problem is, Matthew is MARRIED. Could this be why she’s not naming her baby’s father?
Sources tell The Daily January’s baby daddy most definitely IS married. January got pregnant while filming ‘X-Men’, so if it’s not Matthew, it could be one of these men: Kevin Bacon, Jason Flemyng, Oliver Platt or James McAvoy.
I have nothing nice to say about cheaters, so I hope it’s not true January would be knocked up by someone else’s husband.
Today’s Blind Item sheds some light on who the mystery man is:
So, would you like to know who the father of January Jones’ baby is? Well, he is married. Oh, he is foreign born. Has a best friend who was married to one of the biggest stars on the planet. Our baby daddy has his own kids. Oh, and he is married to a woman who was with a guy who is a really, really big a-hole and would probably creep you out if he asked you out.
James McAvoy was humbled by his trip to Uganda to shoot The Last King of Scotland – because the poverty he witnessed in the African country made him realize he had nothing to complain about.
The Scottish star was brought up by his maternal grandparents in the rough Drumchapel area of Glasgow after his parents split when he was just seven years old.
McAvoy had long considered himself to have lived a hard life, but once he witnessed first-hand the desperate conditions most Ugandans had to live in, he was more appreciative of his upbringing.
He says, “I used to think that (I had a tough upbringing). I used to have a bit of a working-class chip on my shoulder, because the area I come from is so rough. But then I went to Uganda to make the film The Last King of Scotland and I looked around at the poverty there, and I realized that, in relative world terms, I’m actually super-duper, upper-class, through-the-roof posh. Any chip I had on my shoulder about Glasgow was insulting to the people who lived in other parts of the world, and it made me completely re-evaluate my place in it.”
James McAvoy is finding it difficult to deal with his increasing fame – especially when fans try to talk to him in public bathrooms.
The Scottish actor has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom since his leading roles in wartime epic Atonement and action blockbuster Wanted – but isn’t impressed with fans greeting him in public places.
He tells Britain’s Arena magazine, “People are never nasty to me, but I do find it disconcerting when you’re having a piss and the bloke next to you goes, ‘Hey man, love the movie,’ and I’m like, ‘Er…Thanks.’”
“It’s even worse when they try to shake your hand. I’m like, ‘F**k off, wash your hand, it’s just been on your d*ck.’”
