Wanting Him

Filed under: Yummy Yummy Screw > James McAvoy

We finally got around to seeing Wanted while we were in Las Vegas and we LOVED it.

Loved Angie, though she barely spoke, and loved the film's star, James McAvoy, in his breakout role.

Mac is now a big-time box office stud and is landing on the cover of magazines, like the latest issue of Details.

How brooding and sexy does he look????

Youve got to be kidding! Not only was the script horrendous but Angelina's main job in that movie was to pout and look pretty. Directors, stop casting this baby collecting bitch and lets give work to real actresses.

Pity he's so short, but I could work with it.
dijhi says – reply to this

His "breakout' role was in "The last king of scotland" you dumb ass DOUCHEBAG. See, no matter what you talk about PEREZ, you are a complete moronic douchebag. Remove you head from Teddy's ass, I think you need more O2. ( BTW, that is oxygen for you government democrat educated ).

Anybody but Hussein Obama ! The "Messiah" is to radical, never passed one piece of legislation, and has done CRAP for his own state. He is also unpatriotic, never used to salute the flag, say the national anthem, until recently ! Please, do the research before you vote ! Dumbasses.

that wasn't his breakout role, what about last king of scotland and atonement?!
god perez do your research
he is FINE in wanted though
Enoug says – reply to this

33

Atonement was his break-out role. and FINALLY you admitted that this movie wasn't AJ's either. I'm really sorry and I don't mean to critisize her like this all the time it's just so annoying to hear people brainwashed by her media image. This woman barely spoke in Wanted or Kung Fu Panda yet the media is giving her all the box office props.

In addition - Wanted was a terrible movie and not to the fault of anyone but the writers. There was no real plot to the movie whatsoever there was no background on anyone or substantial meaning to any of the characters. This movie blinded moviegoers with action scenes but there was absolutely nothing else behind it. The only reason it did well was because McAvoy & Freeman were awesome but besides that this movie was truly terrible. I now completely understand the reviews saying that it was nothing but smoke and mirrors. I do not understand why they credited AJ though bc her part was small and she looked immatiated. Truly losing her looks - i would have rather seen Meghan Fox play that role!!!!
me says – reply to this

34

I don't think I would call this his breakout role. He's been in a ton of stuff. I started knowing who he was from the Narnia movie then /atonement and Becoming Jane. He is hot though!!!! I just wish he was taller for us 5'8 gals.
Marsh says – reply to this

35

Oh yes, brooding. I wonder how long it took him to get that look just so. Must have practiced in the mirror for weeks.
dee says – reply to this

36

If that looks brooding and sexy to you, you really need lasik and sex asap to clear your vision and cobwebs. BTW, Angelina looks SCARY THIN in the movie and as a result, ridiculous in the part.
fiera says – reply to this

37

He's a great actor, but I don't find him sexy.
littl says – reply to this

38

Breakout role? For shame Perez. What about Atonement and Last King of Scotland.
Grace says – reply to this

39

Gerard Butler and James McAvoy could easily play brothers. Both hot Scots.
Melis says – reply to this

40

HA! You must be smoking crack today. Wanted SUCKED! It was the worst script EVER. Matrix meets 'Luke, I am your father'.

The effects were great but had already been given away in the trailer and COME ON, so need more skin time from both Angie and MACCA!
Erika says – reply to this

41

Perez, are you just getting around to putting him up on your website?

I LOVE HIM!
K says – reply to this

42

Re: Enoug

Exactly! This movie was nothing but people saying f*ck, the obligatory Angelina Jolie naked scene, and had basically zero plot. And way to totally rip of the special effects of The Matrix. I saw the previews and thought it looked pretty good. . . .five minutes into it I knew I had wasted my money.
jenny says – reply to this

43

yea, his breakout role is this movie, and not atonement, which actually garnered academy buzz.

please get your head out of angelina's ass for two seconds. thanks.
cwarr says – reply to this

44

In line with what others have already said, I'm not sure how many movies you watch but this is NOT his breakout role. Perez, please try to catch a few movies outside of what the box office tries to force feed us so you can be a bit more acute next time.
chris says – reply to this

45

breakout role? i'd definitely consider Atonement his breakout role.
kdfj says – reply to this

46

that's a really inappropriate comment to write about him making out iwth angelina as the headline - he is married and it was for a film . she's made out with a ton of other people it's not really something special. they should have made it something about his rising career
HA! says – reply to this

47

You think Wanted was James McAvoy's breakout role?

Good thing its music you're "promoting" and not movies, or movie news or anything to do with them, because clearly you know nothing.

Ever heard of the film Atonement?
mrmlj says – reply to this

droooooooool
anony says – reply to this

49

Breakout role?? Did you forgot about Atonement for which he was up for an OSCAR? I meeeeean….
Liz says – reply to this

50

ummmm only his first breakout role was in the last king of scotland, and then atonement you fucking idiot.
Vonde says – reply to this

51

The main this is - he is a FABULOUS actor. Check him out in The Last King of Scotland. A great talent.
lala says – reply to this

52

I love him, and I know this movie will be bigger than Atonement, but he was AMAZING in the movie. my god just look at his eyes. I can't even look at this picture anymore, so sexy. damnit.
karen says – reply to this

53

Of course, Mr. Tumnus in Chronicles/Narnia was his breakout role to me. Saw him, in person, at an Atonement screening. Nice, funny, kinda quiet. He misses his Scottish square sausages:)
Ashle says – reply to this

54

Breakout role??

I'd say Atonement was his breakout role.
calamari says – reply to this

55

he is fit! and british! yummy =)
dfs says – reply to this

56

Ummm…..his break-out role was a long time ago. Get with it! Wanted was dumb. Angelina didn't do ANYTHING! She just stood there and pouted sometimes. BORING.
Casey says – reply to this

57

The word is that they are thinking of casting him as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. Afterall he did play Mr. Tumnus in Narnia….so maybe it would work….

But yes sirree….he's HOTT.
wha? says – reply to this

58

um, his breakout role??? has anyone seen a little flick called Atonement??? Get over yourself perez.
Jamie says – reply to this

59

Re: K –

I agree with K. Moreover, none of the characters were appealing enough to get my empathy. I didn't really *like* any one of them. The effects were derivative of trailblazers that came before. The only thing I liked was seeing Daywatch/Nightwatch's Konstantin Khabensky, though his part was small.
whate says – reply to this

60

he's not british, he's scottish
fi says – reply to this

61

I met him in London, his wife Anne-Marie Duff was in a play with a friend of mine. We met him afterwards in the bar. Totally normal guy, no airs and graces. Hollywood will not change him and I doubt he'll EVER live there permanently.
starg says – reply to this

62

This isn't his breakout role…he's been in big roles brfore…and he is soooo hot!!!
Lyz says – reply to this

63

yourm says – reply to this

64

67

Huge crush on him… hate that he is married… i love him… he is fantastic… and sexy and intelligent and the Scottish accent…Oh My God…
ally says – reply to this

68

breakout role? perez normally i agree with what you write but you are way wrong and stupid here! mcavoy was in narnia, last king of scotland, atonement, starter for ten, etc.etc.

ps. you look amazing well done on your weight loss.
Erica says – reply to this

69

what the hell.wtf this wasn't his breakout role….what about Atonement and Becoming Jane…wow perezy you are becoming less and less accurate every day it's so sad =(
emily says – reply to this

Re: kkc – well thank you for pointing out narnia… everyone else here is listing "atonement" and "the last king of scotland" as his breakout roles, which is all well and good, but he will ALWAYS be mr. tumnus!!!!!!
Beren says – reply to this

71

Perez, this is not his breakout role, he's been in dozen's of amazing, oscar-nominated movies…just because you didn't notice him, doesn't mean he wasn't already a star. You're getting a little ahead of yourself and it's getting a little annoying.
YADIE says – reply to this

72

I JUST DROOLED!!!!!!! ARGHHHH HE IS SOO HOTT
clocw says – reply to this

73

Wanted sucked my cock. The movie was a mere shadow of the greatness that is the comic book.
movie says – reply to this

74

break out role? what about the king of scotland? forrest whitaker won an oscar for that movie, for god's sake? and let's not forget about attonement. didn't it win some oscars too????
Hot! says – reply to this

75

Okay so after the first 25(cause thats just not way to many already) people said his break out role was in "Kings of Scotland and Atonement"Youd think Everyone else would get the picture and realize it was mentioned.But no 30 something more retards just kept going on and on and on and on and on and on YEA EVERYONE GETS IT!HIS BREAK ROLES WAS EITHER "KINGS OF SCOTLAND" OR "ATONEMENT."MOVING ON!
bndgk says – reply to this

76

His breakout role was in Atonement, not this movie. This will just make him an action star.
YES! says – reply to this

77

I LOVE THIS MAN! When is he gonna do a gay movie so I can see him making out with a dude?!!!
Adria says – reply to this

78

Breakout role??? You're a Jackass!
Kiki says – reply to this

79

Sigh……could he get any dreamier?
jarvi says – reply to this

80

His "breakout" was last king of scotland. And he was nekkid in it.

But he looks "brooding" in the photo because his teeth are iffy.
mina says – reply to this

81

lion witch and the wardrobe really got him started. last king of scotland gave him legitimacy, and atonement with keira knightley was his breakout role. duh.
mina says – reply to this

82

oh, also becoming jane..but i try not to think about that movie when i don't have to.
Hot! says – reply to this

83

"Last king of scotland"….can we move on please.Jeezus.
mh says – reply to this

84

Not a break out role at all I'd say. And even before Atonement…Last King of Scotland….he held his own against Forrest Whitaker. I'd wager that was his first breakout role.
amand says – reply to this

85

well, perez, it's about time you noticed! i'm relocating to scotland if all the guys there are even 1/4 as hot as mcavoy and gerard butler.
shann says – reply to this

86

um. breakout role? did you not see atonement? the last king of scotland? I thought perez was more in the know.
Emma says – reply to this

87

You loved it? I can't imagine any scenario when loom of fate + assassins = good.

I agree with you that James McAvoy is sexy. BUT he's been in many movies before this. He's had a steady ascent to his career but I think most who are knowledgeable about movies would agree Last King of Scotland was his big time break out. Since then there's been Becoming Jane and Atonement.
Dee says – reply to this

88

Don't get me wrong, I love A. Jolie.

How ever, this is not necessarily a break-out role for James McAvoy. He's been in two notable films up for Oscars as the supporting actor in both: Atonement and Last King of Scotland. I find it pathetic that you'd mark his "fame" on angelina jolie, again, who I love…. give the guy his OWN CREDITS!
YUP says – reply to this

89

OOOOO….HE IS YUMMY!!!!
Bootylicious says – reply to this

90

Transplant his head on Gerard Butler's "300" body….then we'll talk about sexy.
Amand says – reply to this

91

I don't know what you consider "breakout" performance Perez, but if you had seen either the Last King of Scotland or Atonement you wouldn't call it that. But I'm guessing those type genres are just a little above your head.
Sunsh says – reply to this

92

Atonment wasn't his break out role either, he was already HUGE by then. I would say we noticed him first in America in that aweful film the Chronicles of Narnia where he was the only good thing beside Tilda and his break out role was definitely The Last King of Scotland. As I said only in the US ’cause I think he was already a big deal in the UK by then.
I don't care how short he is, he would fit perfectly between my legs, whawhoom!
alz says – reply to this

93

he is soo beautiful. i cannot wait to see Wanted. ughhh sooo sexy!!
Racha says – reply to this

94

Breakout role? Cause no one saw Atonement or anything.
Kelly says – reply to this

95

I think James' breakout role might have been The Last King of Scotland or Atonement….

Current much?
Susan says – reply to this

96

Hardly his "breakout" role….
Think Chronicles of Narnia, Last King of Scotland, Atonement, or Becoming Jane to name a small few.

He tried this because it isn't his genre- unfortunately the movie got crappy reviews. (I blame Angelina.)
Philb says – reply to this

97

Re: Erin – Re: Erin – Thank you I was just going to say this. Where has Perez been hiding? Narnia, Penelope, Atonement, he has been in everything over the past two years. Wake Up Perez!! James McAvoy is hotter than anyone right now, fuck angelina!

"FORGET CONDOMS. YOUNG, SINGLE GUYS ARE GETTING VASECTOMIES"
What the fuck? I'm more intrested in why the fuck they are doing that. That's horrible.
stina says – reply to this

99

i liked how he progessively got more sexy throughout the whole movie. lol i don't really get why everyone's shitting on wanted. i liked it. some of the scenes were pretty awesome violent visuals and the story wasn't THAT bad. goodness gracious, some people are just so angry and hateful. and come on, who cares if she didn't talk, she looked amazing.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
