Magneto and Professor X were both in Toronto for TIFF. No, not Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. The other Magneto and Professor X, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. I don’t know if they partied together. I hope so, although I suspect that the filming for X-Men: Days of Future Past has been somewhat grueling and they might be a little bit sick of each other at this point. But then again… how in the world would Michael and James ever be sick of each other?!
Anyway, these are some photos of James and Michael leaving Toronto (separately) yesterday. I guess they’re done with the parties. I guess they don’t want to stick around for Jennifer Aniston’s premiere?! I’m also including a photo of James at the premiere for his latest film, just because I didn’t get a chance to use it before.
James was at TIFF promoting The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him & Her with Jessica Chastain. James didn’t do that much press, but he did tell E! News that his X-Men costar Jennifer Lawrence was “still the same ole girl…We love Jennifer, she’s amazing. Properly amazing.” He also had praise for Jessica, saying: “She’s a real professional, works real hard. She’s a big star and all that—red carpet darling—but she’s actually just a very goofy girl and you can have a really good laugh with her, which is important when you’re dealing with something so profound and so emotional like The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby…to have that release and have a bit of a goofy boogie.” I love the way “darling” sounds with his Scottish accent. Sigh… SCOTTISH THUNDER.
As for the IRISH-GERMAN THUNDER, Michael leaves TIFF with the same kind of concentrated Oscar buzz he had for Shame, only I guess this time no one is talking that much about his dong. When USA Today asked Michael about the Oscar buzz, he said it was “icing on the cake. But the cake is the cake.” He also said about 12 Years a Slave: “I really feel it’s a masterwork. I just felt so proud to be a part of it.” God, I hope he gets nominated this year.
PS… Dude-face photobomber is my new favorite person.

James, always and forever!
Yes! McAvoy is amazing and one never grows tired of him, year after year.
Fassbender, on the other hand, is just not doing it for me anymore; I’m getting vaguely “fakeness” vibes form him.
I needed CPR after looking at the first photo, omg. I got lost in those piercing baby blues and forgot to breathe.
He makes me giggle like a fourteen-year-old idiot.
Both!
+1
I’m going with A$$bender.
Great! Now neither of us has to share. Oh, wait…
Mcavoy 🙂
LOLOLOL the dude is too funny, I’d have done the same like a rock star! 😀
As for Scottish vs Irish-German ginger beard… Fassbender looks good but I’d still pick James. How so? Because since Penelope he got my sheer attention as in unnnfffff there is just something about him…
… and Kaiser I know we are demanding bitches but oh well still, I wish you covered another sex bomb i.e. Idris Elba… ya know! 😉
I would have loved to have covered Idris, but none of our photo agencies had those pics.
Ah shame… him and Naomie were smoking beautiful!.. hopefully we’ll get coverage of him soon thanks to the Mandela movie… 🙂
Always mcavoy
McAvoy always
I seriously cannot choose between these two. I love them both. So. Much. Goodness. It’s just not fair to the rest of the world.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaac. Not only is he smoking, he also seems really lovely.
Ditto. Scottish thunder can rock my skies (or something).
I just started the original State of Play last night – it’s SO good!
Glad you love it! So well-acted and well-paced. Totally a binge-watch for me.
I am going to tape that first photo to the front of my pants – facing in.
James is just so cute.
They both look fantastic.
Mmmmmm…god my Scottish Mcgingerbeard is so..so..fine i’m gonna hit it hard
I have never been so hyped up to see a damn movie—it’s going to kill me to have to wait another month. I looked it up online–12 Years A slave comes out on Oct. 19, can anyone verify?
I hope everyone in that cast gets nominated…..
So yeah, my Fassdong lust is coming back HARD. This is what happens Michael, when you leave a girl hanging for a year–she moves onto other dongs.
Oh laaawd McAvoy you so sexy.
James always looks so young to me. I always want to ask if his mother knows where he is.
McAvoy is growing on me. I used to see him as a good actor but not sexy…these pics are really doing it for me.
Always James, while he’s calling my name in that sweet Scottish brogue…
+1 *salivates over James*
My #1,
always and forever,
lust until I bust,
hit it and would neeeeever quit it…
James McAvoy.
Goodness, McAvoy for the win, hands down!!! Lord, that man is hot!!!
Although I feel very bad not choosing Michael, because he is delicious and lovely, for me it’s James all the way, baby.
james at the velocity of light !
Fassy Forever and Always.
I usually don’t get McAvoy at all but he looks delicious here….
Amen to everything.
Michael then James then Michael then a break then Michael then James then a nap then James then Michael then a bite to eat then a glass of wine then a Michael to top off for the night.
From Toronto Globe and Mail:
Later it was a British invasion on the rooftop at the private members club. Chiwetel Ejiofor, fresh off his acclaimed turn in 12 Years A Slave,
accepted enthusiastic congratulations from Tom Hiddleston, who shared a table with Ralph Fiennes and received an affectionate hug from Ewan McGregor. X-Men co-stars and co-mutants James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender chatted at length, leaning against the north windows of the top floor as an exquisite Jessica Chastain, her long, fiery red hair falling down her back, sat in front of them. Chastain arrived at Pearson International airport earlier in the day with her three-legged dog Chaplin.
Wait – is this an actual event or a dream I had? It sounds positively glorious.
So those two have left, and Chiwetel and Idris too. And Cumby…?
Keanu is still there though – so the answer should be him.
Hmmm you just mentioned all of my ancestry! Scots-Irish-German… Hence my inability to choose! how about a party for three 🙂
A party in your biscuit, I hope? Send the Fassdong back when you’re done (hehehe..)
I choose THIS threesome. Please and thank you.
James. James. James.
All. The. Way.
He’s not only a fantastic actor, he’s also a lovely person. He’s the best.
As for Fassbender, I get creepy vibes form him so…no.
James is my number one. He looks damn fine in these pics.
Michael can Fassbend me anywhere. Anytime.
McAvoy is gorgeous, but I’ll always choose my Fassy. He’s sexy, smart, and tremendously talented. The man just has it all. He better get an Oscar nod this year. He was robbed of one for Shame.
Fassbender. He looks like he’d be a good lay, but after awhile, the partying and drinking would get old and I’d probably have to ditch him. ha
For one night? Fassbender. For a long drawn out affair (should the gods so smile upon me)? McAvoy. And the ideal answer would be BOTH AT ONCE.
Two at once?! Is that your usual style then ? 😉
@nina THIS!
But yeah, they would be the perfect sandwich, wouldn’t they? Especially if there was some guy on guy action too… *drifts-off-into-the-land-of-her-sexual-fantasies*
Mcavoy is so yummmmmy. That’s all.
I LOVE James Mcavoy! What a sweetiepie 🙂
Fassy is just appearing douchier and douchier as time goes on. Has he EVER been seen with a steady girlfriend? Like EVER? Think the guy must have massive committment issues going on.
