Trivia

Trained at Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

McAvoy and Jessica Brooks were the first actors to tackle the complex roles Leto II & his twin sister Ghanima Atreides, the strange prescient "Children of Dune" (2003) based on Frank Herbert's novel of the same name. Although Leto and Ghanima were only nine years old in the novel, their ages were bumped up about seven years making them about sixteen for the Sci-Fi Channel's miniseries in March 2003.

His sister is Joy McAvoy, a singer in the Scottish girl group Streetside

His parents divorced when he was seven.

As a child, he wanted to become a missionary.

After his parents divorced, McAvoy and his sister moved in with their maternal grandmother.

After growing up in Glasgow, he moved to London at the age of 20.

Before he went into acting, he wanted to join the Navy.

While filming The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Georgie Henley never saw McAvoy in his Mr. Tumnus costume before filming their scenes together. Henley's scared reaction upon seeing McAvoy is genuine surprise.

Former roommate of Jesse Spencer when they were both living in London.

Fan of Glasgow Celtic Football Club.

Joe Wright considered him for a role in his Pride & Prejudice (2005). Both director and actor refused to name the part.

Born to James McAvoy, a builder, and his then wife Elizabeth Johnstone, a psychiatric nurse.

Attended St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary in Jordanhill, Glasgow.

Enjoys science fiction, including Star Trek and the new Battlestar Galactica.

Was ranked #18 on Entertainment Weekly's '30 Under 30' the actors list. (2008).

While growing up, he wanted to be a priest.

Chosen as one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive for 2007.

Three Days of Rain (The Play)

James' play The Three Days of Rain ran from Jan. 30 - May 9th and had MANY rave reviews. :) The following article was amongst one of the first articles out, before the play even began.

(There are several reviews of the play as well as pictures at: http://manofthemoment.yuku.com/topic/697?page=1 )

A friend as well as site collegue of mine got to see James's play back in March and even "met" him afterwards at the backstage door!! She bought us all a program from the play and had him sign mine which of course I will treasure forever.....thanks, Helen!! xxx (Her own review of the play is also found at the above link. :) ).

Baz Bamigboye on the return of James McAvoy......

Last updated at 11:21 PM on 23rd October 2008

Nothing like a drop of rain, James!

Big screen leading man James McAvoy is ending several months of selfimposed exile and easing his way back into the limelight - with a return to the stage.

The actor will star with Nigel Harman in Richard Greenberg's poignant drama Three Days Of Rain in the West End early in the New Year, a decade after it was premiered in London with Colin Firth.

Julia Roberts appeared in a Broadway version a couple of years ago but it depresses me to even recall that one.

James McAvoy

Rain man: James McAvoy will return to the stage in Three Days Of Rain

But with McAvoy and Harman, Three Days Of Rain is in good hands. Both began their careers in the theatre and return as often as they can. Interestingly, before they were 'names', both appeared at the Donmar in Privates On Parade.

Previews for Three Days Of Rain start at the Apollo, Shaftesbury Avenue on January 30, with an official first night on February 10.

The play, a favourite of mine, is very much about parents and children. In the first act, a brother and sister, along with a childhood friend, meet up at a Manhattan apartment to discuss the legacy of their parents.

They notice a diary entry which reads, intriguingly, 'three days of rain'.

'It could mean absolutely anything,' said Caro Newling, one of the producers, who runs Neal Street Productions with Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris.

In the second act we go back in time and discover what those four little words refer to.

Both McAvoy and Harman get to play the fathers of the characters they play in the first act.

The play's director, Jamie Lloyd, and other producers Nick Frankfort and Tobias Round are in the process of casting the play's third, and only female, role.

I was on the German location of McAvoy's most recent picture, The Last Station, and the actor told me how he wanted to 'disappear' and take a break for a few months after having shot The Last King Of Scotland, Atonement, Wanted and other movies back to back without a proper break.

Rehearsals for Three Days will start after the Yuletide holidays.

A little bit about me...:)

Hello! My name is Sue and I'm from Alberta Canada where the prairies meet our beautiful Rocky Mountains.

I am a "part time" (in my spare time in other words) administrator at the MOTM (http://manofthemoment.yuku.com/ ) site (under my MOTM name "Jamesyboy'sStarGazer") along with three other wonderful ladies (Jenny who owns the site, Helen and Charms), where part of my job is looking after James' section (http://manofthemoment.yuku.com/forums/84). (And a hard job it is, let me tell ya....)

I became a huge James McAvoy fan in June, 2008 and decided that I would like to create a Yuku Proflie page dedicated just to him. Even though I realize that there are a lot of pages and message boards for him out there already, it is my hope that through this profile page, I will meet other really cool fans of James McAvoy. (As well, the idea of having a James page is because it's makes it more of "James-At-A-Glance" as people don't always have time for full sites in their busy lives--I'm one of them--so this way they can get the latest news fast as well as get a quick "pic fix", lol :) ).

Since June '08, I have gathered a fair amount of pictures and information (as in news articles) about this wonderfully diverse, talented young Scottish actor that I would like to share with other fans.

Please feel free to leave a comment about James (or this page) in the "Sharing thoughts...." section and/or any of the news articles sections. I would love to hear from you! :)

One very important rule I ALWAYS follow, I do NOT and will NOT post anything negative about James, nor anything I feel is an invasion of James' personal life, OR anything that I feel James would NOT want to have posted for "the world to see". Even though I have seen certain things out there in the "Internet World" about him, I REFUSE to add to it. Personally I find it quite sad that people think they have the right to print/post such things, not to mention that it is completely disrespectful to the person(s) involved. We are all human, celebrity or not and our right to privacy is a LUXURY and a PRIVLEGE that, no matter WHO we are, we are ALL entitled to it. :)

PS (As I have recently created this page, please be patient while I continue to add to it. I will be updating the news part on a regular basis--can't promise on a daily basis as news just doesn't ALWAYS happen on a daily basis--but as any news comes to me. :) ).

(Any abusive comments, inappropriate comments and spam will be immediately removed).

(I am in no way affiliated with Mr. James McAvoy. I decided to create this page in his honour as I am a firm believer in his talent as an actor and hope to meet other fans of his through this page. :) ).

For Your Viewing Pleasure :)

Mini Pic Spams

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

January: "The Last Station" Part 2: As The Last Station is being released throughout January and finally universally in mid-February (the 15th has been reported) I thought I would post a few "action shots" as well as a few less commonly shown ones from the movie for January. :)

(Thanks to sites such as jamesmcavoy.com, jamesmcavoyfans.com, jamesmcavoy.org, jamesmcavoyweb.org, and jamesmcavoy.net for such fantastic pictures! There are several other sites out there with great pictures! My apologies if I have left you out it was NOT at all intentional. There are just SO many of you, it's hard to keep track of everyone!! But thanks to ALL of you for keeping us fans happy by sharing your pictures with us and allowing us to share them with others, lol.
I will continue to add pictures to My Images for anyone to browse through.

**PLEASE NOTE** Past Pic Spams starting from October 2009 can now be viewed in My Images at the top of the page. :) ).

Last Month: December: This month, "The Last Station" is FINALLY being released into select theatres on December 4th! I have also seen a relese date of December 25th in other places and a wider (universal?) release is supposed to follow in January 2010.

November-- Filming of "The Conspirator" began on October 12th in Savannah, Georgia and just a couple of days later, first pictures from the set started to emerge!

October--According to IMDB, October is the month that James and Anne-Marie celebrate their wedding anniversary. It is also Anne-Marie's birthday month.--I really hated removing these pictures of James and Anne-Marie....

October18th--Happy 3rd Anniversary, James and Anne-Marie! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness together.

October 8th--Happy birthday Anne-Marie!

September--TIFF--Toronto International Film Festival which runs from Sept. 10-19th this year--James has been to both TIFF in '06 and '07 for The Last King of Scotland and Atonement/Penlope....It was really too bad that James and The Last Station weren't a part of this years ('09)TIFF).
