Okay, so he is a thin, pasty, young Scotsman with wispy facial hair and a lack of decent photos. But put James McAvoy on the screen and he (and those eyes!) just pop and he makes you love him. He is not manly. He is not steaming hot. But the strength and warmth of his talent takes his boyishness to remarkably sexy heights. James sort of snuck up on me.
My first notice of him was in Wimbledon when he played Paul Bettany's younger brother - a scheming, lovable loser clad in bicylce spandex - but my interest was firmly on the blonde Brit at the time. When he showed up as Mr. Tumnus in the adaptation of my favourite childhood novel "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" I was impressed. He was genuine but hardly attractive with his CGI legs and extra back hair. Ohhhh ... but the eyes.
Public notice of James began when he held his own against Forrest Whitaker's award-winning acting in The Last King of Scotland. A bit more rugged, a bit more challenging, James proved that he wasn't a just a pretty face. But for me it was the one-two punch of period romances that cemented the deal. As Tom Lefroy in Becoming Jane and Robbie Turner in Atonement, McAvoy solidly shows the women of the world that a leading man doesn't have to be the most debonair man in the room but rather he is the one who loves you with the greatest sincerity. And at this emotion James excels. He will warm your heart and it will break when his does. This is the luck of being a man with a boy's face - the vulnerabilty increases his presence.
And now, with the acclaim for Atonement including multiple nominations for James himself, he is about to break into world of stardom. This spring he romances Christina Ricci in the fable Penelope and later this year tackles his dark side along with Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie in Wanted as the Harry Potter of assassins (heehee). Let's just say I will be there for both! Oh, and I have to love his name. It was my grandfather's afterall! Funny that.
