For a special Christmas Eve treat, I thought you would enjoy a good eye-snog with a bespectacled James McAvoy. I’m not sure I remember ever seeing James with glasses – they suit him, right? And it’s not just because I love his frames (HOT!) or because I have similar frames (twinsies!). It’s like… Scottish Clark Kent. He’s hot and nerdy with the glasses, and then he’ll whip them off and you’ll be like “OMG, Super-Scotsman!”
James was photographed in NYC last Friday, wandering around. I have no idea what he was doing in the city – perhaps some promotion for Filth, although I think it’s going to be a while until we Americans get to see it. Filth is out in Europe, though, and James has gotten rave reviews and he’s even been winning awards (yay).
Next up for James is The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, which doesn’t even have a release date, and X-Men: Days of Future Past, which comes out May 2014. James once again plays the young Professor X, and according to a recent interview Patrick Stewart gave, it seems the young Prof. X and old Prof. X come face-to-face in the film. Stewart said: “James and I come not just face-to-face, but nose-to-nose almost. When we shot that scene, it was James’s first day of work on the movie, and it was my last day. So I was saying goodbye to X-Men, and he was saying hello.” Unfortunately, Ian McKellen didn’t get any screen time with his younger version, Michael Fassbender. You know Ian would have loved that.

This is not even up for debate. Hell, yes I would hit it.
+1, completely agree!
This really doesn’t need to be asked.
My god he’s amazing
Absolutely!! And now I have something to look at while sitting on my butt at work. I love a good pair of glasses..
I seem to the only person on this board who doesn’t fancy James McEvoy. Great actor, certainly, and seems like a really nice guy. But hot? Not for me.
You know, it’s very strange because he’s exactly my type, but I don’t really fancy him either. I enjoy his acting and he seems like a lovely guy, but I just want to hang out with him. I don’t really have a desire to hit it.
He does seem quite popular around these parts though, so I guess that’s more for everyone else. 😀
Same here. Objectively I know he’s hot and I do enjoy him on film but my biscuit is all, ‘meh.’
Hell yeah! He looks even hotter than usual with the nerdy glasses. <3
I would hit it so hard. And quickly, before Miss Jane arrives and slaps me away. Glasses just make thin even hotter. I loves me some nerdy looking men.
His missus is in NYC right now, in the Ethan Hawke Macbeth (snigger).
I am disappointed in you, Ms. Fanty – where’s your Christmas cunning? Put on his glasses and I can’t slap you, only scowl from the corner and critique you new “moves.”
However both of us best hide under the bed when Miss Jupitero shows up – she has a pretty vicious ear thwack and will stop at nothing for this little Scot.
(ps – I wonder how some nice single malt would taste when licked from his navel. That’s the traditional way, yes?)
Miss Eyre,
I do believe that’s how Christmas whiskey was consumed in Biblical times. If it isn’t, I’ll tape a bit of holly to his glasses, and it’ll be festive enough to pass.
So, I’m still trying to decide whether I can part with the $35 to see Mrs. Mac, Ethan Hawke and the divine Daniel Sunjata before it closes next week. I’m hoping that if I hold on for another few days, the Lincoln Center will mail me an envelope of cash if I promise to see it.
Oh thank goodness you told me about the Biblical context for whiskey – I will adjust the Nativity Play tonight accordingly (and it seems appropriate to recast the Wise People.)
The magnificent Anne-Marie with a possible Mac sighting in the audience AND Daniel Sunjata who *thud*… sorry, the mental image of that Demi-God alone always makes me woozy. Anyway, I say go for it and just put an ear bud in of The Mac’s performance to play over anything Hawke has to say.
*I* am the only wise man you need to know. Sigh. I can’t believe that I have to explain that.
I like your plan. Watch the news this week and see if the Ginger Broadway Streaker makes it to your end of the country.
I’m with you T. Fanty. I love me some men in glasses. He looks soooo hot!
No. Too nerdy for me. I think he looks better scruffy or in black and white…

Precisely! Thats how I fancy him as well. Normally I love a goatee and been making my husband wear one for almost a decade but on him, it really doesnt work. Not a fan of glasses either.. On the other hand, Scruffy James is divine! Yum!
Okay, after viewing that picture I may need to amend my earlier statement that I would not hit it. I would hit that version for sure.
Me, one of the founding members of the Macettes, would I hit it? Is that even a real question?!
Put it this way, I would hit it so hard his egg would nog.
*snickers* good one
Morning Macette. As another member of Macettes, I am right there with you, of course.
And like you, I would pipe in his haggis until his kilt unraveled.
Oh, we’re doing that? Excellent.
I’d toss his caber, make no mistake.
I’d know the contents of his sporran… and how many bites it took to cut the sporran belt.
I’d blow his bagpipe. Possibly to the tune of “Scotland the Brave.” Because I’m THAT good.
*sassily flips hair*
(unable to best Fanty, switches gears without putting the clutch in)
For what I would do to him, they have not created a proper Atonement.
*doffs hat in appreciation*
Miss Eyre, you are utterly Shameless.
I am Shameless; I perfected it when I was Becoming Jane.
That was a First Class response.
I’m returning late to this party but I must say that for my part, what I would do to McAvoy would put him in a sexual Trance and leave him feeling like the King of Scotland.
Oh ladies, just watching you all in action is mesmerising and I can barely contain my enthusiasm. Since I’m getting a migraine though I must — so Inside I’m Dancing.
😉
Coffee and a piece of cheese, then an apple when you can manage it. And send someone out for Excedrin Migraine. Lots of water and mental image to try to divert the pain (I always picture a hole in my migraine temple and watch the pain leave as a green gas. That or The Mac, he would probably work too.)
Good luck with that, feel better soon.
Oh thank you. But I’ll pass on the cheese as cheese seems to make it worse.
Another founding Macette right here reporting for dutty. I mean this can’t be a serious question, right? Those glasses are doing some serious stuff to me! Dear Lord, how can that man be so hot? YES, i would hit, I would hit it hard and repeatedly!
Even though I don’t appreciate him like y’all ladies do, let me just say that this whole thread is made of win! 😀
Hello my fellow Macettes Jane and Diana. Christmas cam early thanks the the Mac. Nerdy Mac is like twenty presents wrapped in one. Too bad the prices on the sign behind him in the first pic don’t apply to him. I’d pay top dollar.
Fanty hope you realize that you are an honorary Ette. I deem your love of the Mac to be true.
No.
Oh I’d hit that everyday and twice in Sunday, he’s #1 in my freebie five! And his wife is playing lady Macbeth w. Ethan Hawke on Broadway right now, which is likely why he’s here.
Is she? I bet she is fabulous!
I love him/them. He is on my forever list because unlike most actors, you don’t want him to immediately shut up when he opens his mouth to speak.
He is just so funny, smart, and charming. I saw him do a Q & A after a special workshop screening of Elanor Rigby and he was fantastic. It made me love him even more.
Ew. No.
Really Kitten? I think he’s sexy but I’m a no since he’s happily married…
Right out of the park. Yes, I would.
On any other day, I’d hit it and hit it hard. Maybe I’m just being a fickle bitch today but this outfit is just not doing it for me. The glasses, the jacket, the ROLLED UP JEANS… it all off putting. Normally, I love men in glasses but I’m all sorts of ugh.
Love this guy. I bet he makes a wonderful husband. He just seems so authentic and genuine.
In every which way the Wonka glass elevator rides, baby.
I would be all over him. He’s perfect.
He’s in NY spending time with his wife, who is on stage there right now (if she wasn’t so great I’d hate her for stealing my man!!!).
duh!!!!! anytime anywhere !!! but iam addicted these days to Rufus sewell ,that is one man
that would put these fragile new brit/scot beauties to shame ,is there anyone else here who adores Rufus ?
I had a thing for him at one time. If you have not, you must watch “Dangerous Beauty”, for him, and for the true story of an amazingly intelligent, independent, and courageous woman who was a courtesan. She wrote and has been published. But like most women over the centuries, has been overlooked even though she exuded intelligence and the intellectual . IMO, she should have a place among other great writers.
@Maven, i have ,i loved that movie ,its quite underrated but it was a beautiful film ,i need to check out the novel though ,thanks for the heads up ,
Absolutely adore Rufus Sewell and fell for him during the “Zen” series, not to mention “In a savage land”. I would not hit them, I would kiss them all over. I would sit on a beach with Rufus and cuddle under a tartan blanket with James. In my dreams…..
@trash addict ,i loved him in ZEN too ,its only recently i got to know abt Rufus , when i saw “pillars of the Earth “,he is quite an underated actor ,i absolutely went gaga abt him in “taming of the shrew “if u have not seen this series i suggest you do , he is in with Shirley henderson and its absolutely hillarious
God, yes. I love this man.
The combination of a high forehead, glasses and a beard turns me to jelly. Must be some deep-seated biological urge to mate with brainy, masculine types.
Well said. I think it’s my downfall. Even tho specs may be there because they are blind and dumb.
In my eyes, he can do no wrong, even when he’s rocking less than sartorial perfection. And I do love the specs!
No sorry- not this version/ looks like a poor imitation of Edward Norton. Glad he’s spending time in NYC
