James McAvoy

James & Angelina! On voit qu'il me connaissait pas à l'époque où il a tourné ce film! maintenant il ait que je suis dans la Aniston team!

Ah toi aussi ! Je ne supporte pas Angelina Jolie... (rien que ses jambes de deux mètres de long ça m'énerve... non je ne suis pas jalouse du tout...)
Pauvre Jennifer...

Bon maintenant, elle m'énerve moins! Mais Jen c'est ma Rachelle! je supporte pas qu'on y touche! Brad ne sait pas ce qu'il a perdu! Angelina c'est qu'une méchante!

Une briseuse de ménages en plus ! Ce sont les pires !

ne m'en parle pas! En plus je la trouvait très vulgaire cette fille. Enfin, c'est une bonne actrice ( meilleure que ma Jen que j'aime pourtant énormément^^)

La première fois que je l'ai vu c'était dans "Band of Brothers", puis dans "Wimbledon", "Inside I am dancing", "The last king of Scotland", "Starter for 10" et "Becoming Jane".

@Lost_girl: Est-ce que le film Starter for 10 est bien?

A propos d'Angelina Jolie, je trouve c'est une bonne actrice et en plus elle a l'air sympa dans la "vraie vie".

Camille, quel mari tu as !! Chacun de ses films est dans un registre différent (et avec différentes coupes de cheveux ), il a vraiment beaucoup de talent.

J'aime bien sa coupe dans Penelope.

j'ai vu starter for ten en Angleterre et j'ai bien aimé. c'est une bonne comédie. james est parfait. Et il y a catherine tate!

J'ai vu la bande-annonce de Wanted. Je me réjouis de voir James dans un rôle différent. C'est un excellent acteur, je suis quasi certaine qu'il se débrouillera très bien dans les scènes d'action (même si au début, ça risque peut-être un peu de me faire bizarre^^)

Quant à Angelina Jolie, je trouve que c'est une très bonne actrice (si on oublie certains épisodes, comme ceux de Tomb Raider...)

Et en ce qu'il concerne le film "Penelope", il est bien?

je ne l'ai pas vu, mais ça a l'air bien. Il sort le 19 décembre en France.

de toutes façons, Angelina Jolie n'a fait que des daubes! pas un seul beau film, un vrai film d'auteur! quelle mauvaise actrice, je me souviens de son accent complètement nul dans Alexandre, ridicule!
et puis son physique est vraiment déplaisant, je trouve.

bref, par rapport dans ce film, James McAvoy a l'air d'un ange!

d'ailleurs, Camille!!! voilà pour toi:

According to Life & Style Brad Pitt is not happy with Angelina Jolie's make-out scene in the fillm "Wanted" with James McAvoy. A source told the magazine that Angie hasn't done a love scene like this since "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." She also asked a writer to be brought in to beef up the story between her character and James'. Angie also added a nude bath scene.

The source said, “The changes meant she spent way more time with James, and the sexual tension got a lot more intense.”

Brad's jealousy has apparently led to several fights. After the "Beowulf" premiere a week ago Brad and Angie got into a fight. At the after-party sources say Brad spent most of his time with another woman sending Angie into a rage.

The source said, “Brad was hanging his head like a guy who’d been beaten down." Brad reportedly left with the woman and Angie went home alone. Brad's rep denies the claims.

Let's see Brad is jealous, because he thinks Angie wants to do her co-star? Hmmm...I wonder why he feels that way? DUH! That's how they got started. Brad needs to put his nuts back in the sack and deal with Angie. Let her know who the real boss is. Oh wait, the real boss is Angie. Oh well, sorry Brad!

Comment, cette Angie après avoir volé le mari de ma Rachel essaye de piquer le mien ? mais je n'aurrai donc jamais la paix ma parole!

Sur youtube j'ai trouvé par hasard quelques vidéos de Children of Dune. J'y ai découvert JMA il y a quelques années et déjà il avait beaucoup de présence.
Elles m'ont tout de suite fait penser à Mme MacAvoy. Donc en avant pour le lobying

Cet article me fait mourir de rire. Merci d'avoir partagé Christelle, tu as vraiment fait ma journée.

James McAvoy a fait une séance photo pour le numéro de Décembre du magazine GQ.
Je trouve les photos particulièrement réussies, pas vous ? (et ce n'est pas Camille qui va me contredire, je pense )
ma préférence va à la 2ème

Belles photos, Emjy , Je me demande où est passée Mrs McAvoy à le laisser déambuler comme ça tout seul, elle va se le faire prendre et aprés, ça sera ça

Merci pour les photos, Emjy!

Camille, je présume que c'est votre alliance que Monsieur porte au doigt?

Mrs Mc Avoy veille au grain, ne vous en faites pas... lol! et sinon, ce n'est pas notre alliance, c'est une chevallière, je suis pas très fan mais pour qu'une relation dure, il faut savoir faire des compromis!


ah qu'il est beau mon p'tit mari!

Ah oui! il est très craquant merci Emjy

Un article sur le mari de Camille, où l'on apprend entre autres (je ne sais pas si ça avait déjà été dit) que James avait été pressenti pour jouer dans P&P 05 (on ne sait pas quel rôle, on sait seulement que ce n'est pas Darcy). Attention, spoiler sur Atonement:

Je l'aurai bien vu en Wickham moi...
merci pour cet article Cat mais il faut payer pour le lire!

J'ai pu le lire sans payer tout à l'heure. J'aurais du faire un copier-coller. Je vais voir si je le trouve sous une autre forme.

Je pense aussi que James aurait fait un wickham très attrayant.

EDIT: il fallait en fait seulement s'inscrire, ce que j'ai fait. Voici la teneur de l'article:

James McAvoy is an unlikely but highly effective leading man in 'Atonement.'

The actor doesn't see himself as a leading man. Funny, others do.
By Mark Salisbury, Special to The Times
December 2, 2007
LONDON -- AS one half of the fatalistic couple at the tragic heart of "Atonement," director Joe Wright's adaptation of Ian McEwan's complex, decade-spanning novel, James McAvoy looks every inch the classic leading man -- even if McAvoy himself doesn't happen to agree. "I'm 5 foot 7, and I've got pasty white skin," he insists. "I don't think I'm ugly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy."

McAvoy's not complaining; rather, he's celebrating the fact that someone who looks like him can be cast in such a role. "I'm always moaning about [the fact that] you see humanity represented as nothing but perfect, so it's good," he continues. "But I won't deny I felt a little bit self-conscious or worried. Will people accept me physically or visually for this role?"

The answer, most assuredly, is yes. McAvoy's performance as Cambridge-educated housekeeper's son Robbie Turner in the stately 1930s-set drama has, along with that of his costar, Keira Knightley, been generating serious acclaim ever since "Atonement" opened the Venice Film Festival earlier this year. Everything Robbie holds dear is ripped apart after one hot summer's night when his long-suppressed feelings for Cecilia (Knightley), the eldest daughter of the household, passionately surface.

As written, Robbie was initially a little too angelic for McAvoy's liking. "I felt he was too straight," explains the 28-year-old Scot over a chili burger in a gastro pub near the North London home he shares with his wife, actor Anne-Marie Duff. "So I had to make him a bit dirtier and grumpier to make him more real."

Ultimately, McAvoy says he found his way into the heart and soul of a character through the physical and spiritual transformation he undergoes midway through the film. "He knows who he is, which is incredible. But then a little girl comes along and tells him you're not who you think you are -- you're [a] rapist, and, by the way, the entire world believes me. The only person other than him who knows who he is is Cecilia. If it wasn't for her, he'd kill himself. In all my other characters I've always used conflict, and I couldn't with this until halfway through. [Then] he becomes the opposite of everything that made him difficult to play: damaged, conflicted and a much more recognizably human figure."

"McEwan has lots of descriptions of Robbie, but the description I liked the best and thought was most important for the story was of him having 'eyes of optimism,' " says Wright, who also helmed the Knightley-starrer "Pride & Prejudice," which earned the actress an Oscar nomination. "I feel James has those eyes of optimism. Also, he's the best actor working in Britain today, of his generation. He's extraordinary."

Wright first saw McAvoy seven or eight years ago on the London stage, playing a young, gay hustler in "Out in the Open." "I had been watching him for a long time after that," he reveals, "and I kept offering him roles that he kept turning down. First small roles, then fairly decent supporting roles and then, eventually, the lead."

Wright even tried to cast him in "Pride & Prejudice," though neither man will reveal for which part. "It's not fair on the guy who got it," says McAvoy, "but it wasn't Mr. Darcy."

Young man of many trades

WRIGHT hasn't been the only one keeping an eye on the Glasgow-born thespian, however. McAvoy's stock has been climbing steadily on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to standout performances on stage, TV and film. Earlier this year he picked up the BAFTA for rising star and a supporting actor Oscar nomination for his role as an idealistic young doctor in "The Last King of Scotland," even if his performance was overshadowed by that of his Academy Award-winning costar, Forest Whitaker. He also played Mr. Tumnus the faun in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." McAvoy is nothing if not versatile.

To nail Robbie's upper-class English accent, McAvoy worked with a voice coach -- "For anybody who was a bit posh, it was all right, but for me it was quite difficult" -- and listened to tapes of the period, but it was watching movies such as "Brief Encounter," "In Which We Serve" and "Listen to Britain" that really helped. "People didn't really speak exactly like that then, but they did in movies," he says of an English dialect in which the vowel sounds are more clipped compared with today. Indeed, in many ways, his and Knightley's performances recall the acting style of the time, representing a whole different manner of being, pre-sexual revolution, when repression was the order of the day.

"The script is written for a type of acting that requires you to not emote, to not show everything," he notes. "If you watch Noel Coward, he doesn't move his face. He hardly uses his voice, but he's so expressive you know exactly what he's thinking. The same with Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson in 'Brief Encounter.' " But, he stresses, it's not just about doing nothing for the camera. "You can have a lot of stuff going on underneath, but the suppression of it increases the power of it."

Before shooting, Wright corralled his actors for three weeks of rehearsal that McAvoy says was the best he's experienced outside theater. "We figured out what the script was all about. I know that sounds really basic, but it's not," he says. "It galvanized us."

During the filming of a country house segment at Stokesay Court in Shropshire, Wright, Knightley and the majority of the cast lived together, though McAvoy chose to stay elsewhere. "Partly because I felt a little bit too old for that, but also because my character's kind of separate and I wanted to keep myself a little bit separate. I'm not somebody who uses the whole Method thing, but it felt nice to keep myself away from the big house and all the people playing the posh people. To be honest, all those actors were posh actors, so it felt quite useful."

The word is that "Atonement" will make McAvoy a star, although he's not sure he wants to be one. "I didn't have any plan when I started doing this," he says when the issue is raised. "I certainly didn't do it to be famous, and I certainly didn't do it because I wanted to be in the movies. I wanted to do it because it was good fun, and nobody told me I couldn't."

Although his next role, as an assassin in the comic book adaptation "Wanted" opposite Angelina Jolie, looks to be a markedly different one for him -- that of the action hero -- McAvoy insists it's business as usual -- playing someone, well, normal. "It's going back to something that's easier for me to do than 'Atonement' was. I'm playing a proper, insecure, normal dude. They didn't give me the part straight away. They offered it to a dozen other guys and even- tually came back to me because they realized this part doesn't work if it's the classic leading man type figure. This part needs to have somebody a bit more normal."

j'espère que ATonement est bien car aux avant-premières, les 2 acteurs, James et Keira font bcp la gueule apparemment...
