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????

Re: Stace – what is horrible about it? Condoms feel terrible. Besides, vasectomies protect people from aids. Well, at least babies that won't be born.

um -

i love angelina. and action movies. and the concept of girls steering cars with their stilletos while laying on the hood and shooting at people.

but seriously - wanted pretty much sucked. i was bored. and i really wasn't asking for much.

the acting was good, but the plot was utterly non existent. i can only hope that the script went thru significant changes from when the actors signed on and it hit the screen. otherwise, they need to check with their agent's judgement

Yes, he's the hotness.

And I liked Wanted. You have to go into a move like this knowing it's just eye candy and that's it. Enjoy it for what it is.

why is it that both perez and details call this his cinemactic "breakthru" or "debut" when james mcavoy was absolutely AMAZING in last king of scotland?!?!?!

Perez, you may be the last queen (pun) to know that this was most definitely NOT his breakout role! Jeez, you should read more than your website.

I think his breakout role was actually Atonement
Lily says – reply to this

Um how about Last King of Scotland, Atonement, and Becoming Jane? Those weren't breakout roles also? I'm pretty sure he was nominated for LKOS.

This is not James McAvoy's breakout role. Not only is he already very very popular in England, he had his break in America when he played Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia.

He was also the star of Atonement, which did very very well.

Please stop trying to make it sound you helped people like him and Agyness Deyn reach the top, they were there before you ever mentioned them.

Ummmm his breakout role was the last king of scotland… and hes mine. I've been crushing on him since that movie.. Poor thing had to make out with Angelina.. hope he doesn't get herpies or pregnant
melan says – reply to this

116

he is hot hot hot. This was a huge box office movie for him but I definitely noticed him back in his Band of Brothers days.
lesli says – reply to this

117

Oh my god, did no one hear of the last king of scotland!! You know the one Forest Whitaker won an acadmy award for? That my friends was his break out role not Atonement. He was great in that movie… He was in every scene that I remember.
adt says – reply to this

118

His breakout role? Try The Last King of Scotland, Chronicles of Narnia, and Atonement. You'd know that if you knew anything.

This movie was actually horrendous! Entertaining in the fact that there was a lot of action, but, OMG- the plot was ridiculously lame.

wanted was so fucking stupid
and this guy sucks and is nasty
Anine says – reply to this

121

He looks like a mix Toby Maguire and Shia Labeouf.– Only down fall to the movie was I was trying to picture either of the other guys as I looked at James. Other wise- awesome movie!!
lulu says – reply to this

122

def. hot & he's an amazing actor too. the movie really wasn't that good though - don't get caught up in the media. angelina seemed identical in tomb raider and mr & mrs smith as she did in wanted. boo.
jacki says – reply to this

123

I just want to say that never in my life would i thought i would be attracted to someone like this but after seeing WANTED, he is my new crush! He is downright sexy.

(i can't believe I'm saying this)
Perez says – reply to this

124

Ya he aint a box office stud ya tard, the movie made money because of angie and all the action, ANYBODY could have played that part and the movie would have made the same amount of money if not more. You are the biggest loser I have ever encounterd Perez, hypes ppl he wishes would look at em, and calls down others cause there bigger celeberties than him. Can you say LOSER.
Soon says – reply to this

125

We've been known he's really good…your late Perez
AR says – reply to this

126

I've had a ridiculous crush on this actor since I've seen the last king a year ago. And Atonement…
I would rather have him stay under the radar though, he's to good to be given away to the mainstream.
Wanted is a terrible movie, I walked out of it ashamed that my liking for this guy made me go on the opening weekend! The writing is especially bad.
But surely great movies are to come for this clever and very talented actor.

127

More interesting (and scary) is the hair brained idea of vasectomies preventing STI's and HIV. Yeah cause thats the reason guys wear condoms only to prevent pregnancy!
AMB says – reply to this

128

BREAK OUT ROLE?! OMG. PEREZ, YOU ARE AMAZINGG., BUT THIS IS UN CALLED FOR. ATONEMENT WAS HIS BREAK OUT ROLE. ONE OF THE MOST WELL REVIEWED MOVIES OF THE WHOLE FREAKING YEAR! YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MOVIES.STICK TO PEREZHILTON.COM.
teres says – reply to this

129

lol. hes very sexy. but the part inb the movie when he takes his shirt off was my favourite part. i was in the theatres and my mouth dropped and i was like: omg. but i thought that part would be louder than it was and i said it really loud.. and there were like 4 hot guys behind my friend and i and one of them said to his friend, " u know what shes right, he is pretty hot" and i started laughing sooo hard. that was a very memorable movie.

'BREAKOUT ROLE'? Are you kidding me? He's done several brilliant movies. The Last King of Scotland was great. He's a brilliant actor, and its a shame it took this kind of movie to get him noticed.
The movie was good, but it defenitely wasnt as good as they hyped it up to be.

136

This is so not his breakout role. Atonement Becoming Jane Last king of scotland Narnia for god sakes Wanted is not his break out role to say the least.
maria says – reply to this

137

he's done a ton of movies before wanted

atonement anyone?
????? says – reply to this

138

you've gotta be kidding me. it's not his breakout role! he been in movies for a long time, you stupid ass…and he's been brilliant. I wish you wouldn't lust over him. he's too good for you!
what? says – reply to this

139

his "breakout" role was "Last King of Scotland." he was also in "Becoming Jane" and was completely delicious in "Atonement." What are you talking about?

JM fa says – reply to this

145

ok Perez it's not his 'breakout role'.

Did you see Last King of Scotland? You probably didn't because you were too busy reading about Madonna.

Anyway if anyone actually has been following James McAvoy's career you'll know that he was amazing in many other films before Wanted.
kelly says – reply to this

146

Hey tard! His breakout role was definetly Atonement, some could even say The Last King of Scotland. Just because he did a money making action movie doesn't mean that's his break out movie. He WAS just nominated for a GG.

Jessi says – reply to this

First of all, this movie was HORRIBLE beyond all comprehension, and this is not his "breakout" role. The man (who the rest of the world already knows is extremely talented) was the lead in the Oscar-winning Atonement. He also was nominated for The Last King of Scotland, and also appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia.

This irked me; this is his worst movie to date.
JJ says – reply to this

151

He was in Last King of Scotland? Shit, I have it and still haven't watched it.

I have seen him in Becoming Jane, which was amazing, and Atonement, too.

Don't act like you found him first a year from now when he's winning awards and shit. And, don't link us to this post either then.
tahne says – reply to this

152

definitely not breakout role.

-atonement!!
-chronicles of narnia!
-last king of scotland!!
-becoming jane
-penelope

come on, perez
Pulee says – reply to this

153

Ya, get a clue already. The guy goes all the way back to Band of Brothers (he was only in one of the episodes but still). He isn't suddenly the "it" guy. He's been on fire for a long while. I'd agree with The Last King of Scotland. A phenomenal movie.

I had the hugest crush on him when I was little. He was the hottie in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (Christina Appelgate)… now THAT was his breakout role, hehe He doesn't look like himself in that Details shot but he is still a hottie! Yum.

Perez doesn't likely know what Scotland is! Watch "The Last King of Scotland" and "Braveheart" and learn. Then wear a kilt.

He's too busy throwing around offensive words like "Anglophilia" and "British", which he doesn't know what they mean at all. He'll get a kicking one day from these guys because of it.

James McAvoy, Geard Butler, Ewan McGregor, Sean Connery, David Tennant, Craig Ferguson, The Fratellis, Shrek, Shirley Manson, Biffy Clyro, Grand Theft Auto IV etc. These are Scottish, OK? Not ugly "Anglophilia" rubbish!

Where is the "Scotophilia" section of your site exactly as they obviously have the best men? We demand it Perez! Down and out junkies like Winehouse and Docherty are the "Anglophilia", dude!

Re: stina – i noticed that too.
and i liked the movie as well.
the story was pretty good in my opinion.
and the action scenes were never boring.
Jessi says – reply to this

173

he is definately an amazing actor. but wanted wasnt his breakthrough role. have you seen him in atonement, um heartbreaking. and last king of scotland. and if youve seen how many amazing movies hes starred in youd be suprised. watch starter for 10, its great. he is definately going to be a legend in movies, for all of our sake i hope he is.
