James McAvoy is one of the best actors to come out of Scotland, starring in big blockbuster hits like the X-Men franchise and M. Night Shyamalan's Split.
The 42-year-old actor studied Music and Drama at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, before moving to London after graduating in 2000.

"We'd have stacks of glasses all the way up high."
He added: "I'd have glasses stacked and you'd just hear the intro, and I'd be like 'awww f***'.
"And I'd look for Alex, and he'd be like 'f****** move, f****** move' because you'd have like 30-40 seconds until people just started bouncing up and down.
