Ahhh, he's so gray now!! I figured it might grow in like that after he had it shaved short for Cyrano. He's still hot though.

As far as film and TV... I love him as Professor X so fucking much! But he's probably better in Atonement or The Last King of Scotland. I genuinely enjoy him in just about everything, though - even when the movie itself isn't great, he's good in it. I should really bring back my James userpic!!

My favorite stage role of his is definitely Cyrano, though he was great in The Ruling Class as well.

I really wanted to see him in Cyrano earlier this year but couldn’t make it work. I have regrets!

Now THAT's an actor that I'd love to see his iconic characters.

I'd love to see more of his... other things.

Sorry, McAvoy does something to me. He and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II always make me feel... parched. LOL

He's one of my favorite actors so it's hard to choose a favorite role, although I have a soft spot for Atonement.

Look, after hearing about how many people lusted after Mufasa, I’m not shocked at anything anymore.

Oh Mr. Tumnus 🥰 That and Leto II in Children of Dune were my intros to James McAvoy and I've loved his work ever since.
