Poor
James McAvoy. His first starring role in a major Hollywood film sees him sharing the screen with
Morgan Freeman and
Angelina Jolie in '
Wanted', but already he's having a wee moan about how hard his lot is, the poor little lamb. You see, people want to talk to him now he's famous (hopefully to tell him how he nearly ruined 'The Last King Of Scotland' with his smug Alan Davies impression).
Unfortunately, sometimes non-celebrities (aka 'civilians') have the sheer temerity to approach him in the bathroom, he tells Arena magazine. Dammit! People are so cruel!
“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.’”
Who are these people saying 'Hey man! Love the movie'? And why aren't they saying 'You are not fit to share a screen with Forrest Whitaker'? McAvoy, whose ego the size of a Zeppelin has yet to be punctured by anyone spotting that his acting talent could comfortably swish around in an eggcup continued:
“It’s even worse when they try to shake your hand. I’m like, ‘Fuck off, wash your hand, it’s just been on your dick."
So be careful how you approach the legendary Mr. McAvoy. Better still leave it a couple of years until he gets found out, then approach him slowly and whisper, "Big Mac and large fries, please."
