James McAvoy . . .
Is it just me, or is anyone else strangely attracted to him after watching the movie?
Oh God, I need therapy.

Some of us around here were attracted long before this film was ever announced, and there's nothing odd or strange about that, IMO.
If you get the chance, check out the BBC original version of 'State of Play' and then tell me whether finding him attractive is strange!
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hopeshare
i got attracted to him after this movie to and his voice is extremely sexy
shareyou all should see atonement.. the best of them all
"i love you. I'll wait for you. Come back. Cee"
I thought he was AMAZING in "The Last King of Scotland" mmmmm.....

personally i find him quite unattractive and thoroughly boring in his obvious self-appreciation. already found him obnoxious in 'last king of scotland', was really put off when i found him again in here and do wonder if i ever will see 'atonement' with him as a lead.

you....must die.
shareHe's said he enjoys playing arrogant, *beep* characters. Just because his characters are obnoxious, doesn't mean he is. He's a very down-to-earth guy.
shareHe looks like a kid to me,and a rather plain one at that. His nose reminds me of a potato. He does have nice eyes, but sorry, I just don't see the attraction. However he did play a romantic part well in this movie.
I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon.
Dude, I'm attracted to Mr. Tumnus.
shareword.
sharehaha me too! I thought I was weird for thinking a faun was so sexy! haha... but James McAvoy is so hot!... and not to mention, an incredible actor!
shareHoly cow, thank you! That's where I first became attracted to him And I was like "I am such a freak..." XD It was a joke among my friends that my lover is a half-goat guy, haha.
shareit is soooo nice to hear that I'm not alone!!! I so found him hot in that movie... and fell in love with him in becoming jane!!! and I HAVE to see atonement!!!!
~My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me-- So won't you kill me? So I die happy~
T~O!
oh god i am in love.
Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer?
Because it feels so good when I stop.
YES! He is SO hot. Never realized till this movie though how sexy his VOICE is too! Mmm!
shareThe publicity shots for Atonement did it for me. Then Atonement itself now mkaes me want to live in libraries for the rest of my life. The I watched Becoming Jane, and it's official obsession.
xx
She wants to fly to the moon in a lacy bra. And parachute the whole way back
Oh yes,yes count me in!I did feel that strange attraction to him throughout and after the movie.I can see what made Jane fall in love with him.He has that special air,charm. Awww i can sense a new obsession!lol
Hadn't realised he was in the Last King of Scotland.*adds it to the list of movies she wants to watch*
LOL if you're attracted to him in Becoming Jane go and see atonement and the obsession will become complete!!!!
shareBecoming Jane, Atonement and Penelope are my favorites, but I couldn't stand him in wanted.. There was just something wrong there..
shareI'm afraid he'll always be half goat to me. I like him in this, and Atonement, but I can't get over the half goat.
Your delusions of persecution are a telltale sign of early onset paranoid schizophrenia.
Mr. McAvoy definitely has some animal charisma. The only character I liked in Narnia was Mr. Thumnus (however it's spelled.) I didn't even know it was him until later.
I thought Mr. McAvoy looked familiar after I saw him in Becoming Jane, but I couldn't place it. Then I found out he was in a movie I loved called Rory O'Shea was Here. He played a daring, sexy-cute young guy in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy or something but he is so intriguing in that movie. It's a bittersweet movie too. Worth Seeing!
"Animal charisma" <-- now that is very well said!lol Exactly what i was thinking!To me he was both the man that could throw you on the bed and shag you silly and also the one with who you could watch the night sky and read poetry.Nice combination!;)
Ok,i'll add Atonement in the list as well!It's Keira and James!!<3 But I don't think it has aired in Greece yet though. I watched the Last King of Scotland yesterday and really liked it.I was gasping throughout the sex scene!!!I think that shorter hair(=Becoming jane) look better on him.
Oh and another note!!I don't usually like blue eyes but his are just...charming!
LOL...shag and then read poetry.
I wonder if he or his wife ever read these boards in their spare time.
I've only seen him in becoming jane (I know I know) but I'm deffinatly going to make an effort to see him in his other movies. I was sad when I found out he was in Last King of Scotland- my sister had been trying to get me to watch it and I just didn't feel like watching a drama at the time...now I missed out :(
There is just something about him :)
I hope he gets acknowledged more in the US someday.
~"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."~
you guys need to check out atonement-- his best work yet!!!
and i too hope he gets more recognition in the US, he deserves it.. hes an amazing actor
"i love you. I'll wait for you. Come back. Cee"
[deleted]
Haha. Yeah, I'm sure he is reading the boards right now. Hi James!
I wish...
His WIFE?He's married???O_O I didn't know that! Wow too many young people getting married lately.Hope that it's more than a Hollywood wedding and that he's happy.:) James's wife if you're reading, you are very,very lucky.You have a wonderful husband!
(Actually i don't think either of them has time to read our comments.lol But if i was them i would out of curiosity haha)
Oh i agree with you guys. I also hope that he will be recognized in the US. Such talented actors need acknowledgement!!On the contrary,pretty boys with the talent and emotional range of a cucumber don't.(since when did i get mean?lol)

i could not have said it better myself. except, as he reads me poetry, he MUST do it in that sexy scottish accent of his. mmmm, so hot.
I have watched the movie (Becoming Jane) a third time just to watch Mr. McAvoy's facial expressions. He could probably do a whole movie without talking because he is so talented other ways. I like a man who shows his emotions in his eyes. Whew!
shareWell your in good company then! I too just saw him in Becoming Jane on On Demand and had to go and rent it just so I could watch all of the parts with James in it! Love his expressions and his eyes. I loved him in Narnia before I ever even saw him! lol
It’s good to dream
I think he married his co-star from Shameless, if I'm not mistaken. On Youtube there is a sex scene from Shameless. So if you want to know how they make love together, watch that video. Now that's voyeristic!!! ugh!! I hate myself... hee, hee.
shareNot so much James himself but he played Tom Lefroy so well that I'm more infatuated with him than with the actor!
shareYes, I've experienced that where you really liked a actor in a movie and saw him in another and realized it was the character you liked, not the actor. But that's what a good actor does, I guess. I really like Hugh Jackman but some of his movies I can pass on if they are bad action-only chase-type movies. I don't care if he is in it. But when he was Leopold I thought he was sooooooo cute.
shareKate and Leopold is one of my favorite movies!
It's pretty much the only DVD I own that I regularly watch :)
