James McAvoy: The Last King of Scotland

My Weekend with James McAvoy.

I hung with James both Saturday and Sunday Nights...

I finally got around to seeing The Last King of Scotland this past weekend. I purposely avoided it at the theatre as the subject matter did not hold much interest to me. I bought the DVD awhile ago, but never bothered to put in my machine. I was asked to bring some movies to a gathering on Saturday Night and picked it up. I really loved it. It had me from the get go. Forest Whitaker has always been a favorite of mine, he has been heartbreaking on many television shows. He truly deserved his Oscar. I also thought James McAvoy was equally amazing and wish he had gotten more credit for this role. If you are like me and were avoiding this movie for any reason, watch it!

Actors & SKIN: James McAvoy

Like 'the Lazy Hermiones' in the Saturday Night Live sketch, I too had a wee crush on the wee Faun Mr. Tumnus, especially when the top half is in the form of actor James McAvoy.  Mr. Tumnus was just one of the many roles that required McAvoy to show a little skin on the big, and the little screen.

The Near Room (1995)

James made his big screen debut in the 1995 dark drama, The Near Room

Shameless (2005)

Becoming Jane (2007)

Filth (2013)

Trance (2013)

Submergence (2017)

Although McAvoy had a 'distant' frontal in 2017's Submergence (above), a better slightly better view was 2007's, The Last King of Scotland. (below)

ACTORS & SKIN: James McAvoy

We almost got you, bro!

I first took notice of Scottish actor James McAvoy after seeing clips of his appearances in season 2 of the UK based version of Shameless.  James was incredibly sexy with his accent combined with his great body and those beautiful blue eyes.

Last month, James was again in the spotlight, for me, starting with those great promos for M. Night Shyamalan's new film Glass.  I first saw the film's promo during The Golden Globes, and although just a highly edited trailer, James grabbed your attention in just a few seconds teasing the 20 or so characters he plays in the film.

I had already noticed a bulked up McVoy in on-the set images from Glass released last year.  My crush was back full throttle and thought it was time to feature McVoy in FH's Actors & Skin series.  Take a look back at McVoy's scenes of skin on Page 2 HERE:

Favorite Hunk of the Day: James McAvoy

There is something So Hot about James Mcavoy. I was going to put him in the unconvential hunk series, but his look in Atonement is anything but unconvential!

A dream holiday in a beautiful country house becomes a psychological nightmare

I love a good psychological thriller, and am looking forward to seeing Speak No Evil next month.  If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out below.  I also love James McAvoy, and have uncovered his work many times on the site, including a 2019 edition of Actors & Skin. (HERE:)

Movie trailers often show the films best parts, and the trailer for Speak No Evil certainly didn't disappoint with a few seconds of McAvoy's character Paddy stripping down to his skivvies for a dip.  McAvoy's body was always worthy of attention, but in the clip, he's looking hotter than ever.
