Although James McAvoy is a true force in Hollywood, he has made the decision to take a break from acting.
Just a small slowdown, that’s it
With his wide range of jobs on both the big and small screens, the 43-year-old has hardly had a break in recent years, demonstrating his true versatility as a performer.
His brilliant performance in M. It’s reasonable to say that Night Shyamalan has a sizable resume thanks to his work on films like Split and the X-Men series as well as TV shows like His Dark Materials and The Sandman.
But McAvoy is taking a break from acting, and one of the main reasons is to spend more time with his family.
But McAvoy is taking a break from acting, and one of the main reasons is to spend more time with his family.
When asked why he made the choice in an interview with The Observer, he quipped, “Because I’m old!”
The actor kept going: “I put in a lot of effort and I enjoy what I do, but I don’t want to work to live.
“The business is wonderful, and it has provided me with an incredible life. But it relies on the selfless character of performance to exist.
“The movie or television business is basically using you up.”
Due to scheduling restrictions, McAvoy said, he would have to do 18 or 24-hour shoots, adding: “And you’re like: how the f**k is this legal, man? How is that person allowed to drive home at the end of the night? And people die!
“I’m not saying that’s the only reason I have an issue with it, but that’s part of it,” the speaker said.
On the subject of his family, he elaborated, saying: “I don’t want to just be the person who was Bill Murray’s character in Lost in Translation, where he’s basically not had a life since he made the movies – and he can’t remember any of the movies. He is, nevertheless, alienated from his wife and children.
The Observer continued by pointing out that there have been rumors about McAvoy giving birth to a boy with his new wife Lisa Liberati, whom he met while working on the Split set.
He already shares parenting duties with his ex-wife and fellow Shameless cast member Anne-Marie Duff for their 12-year-old son Brendan.
This information has obviously not been verified, but the publication wondered whether it may also have anything to do with his “taking that foot off the pedal.”
The It: Chapter Two actor isn’t through with acting, though.
He said that he is “working on a film with Phil Barantini, who made Boiling Point with Stephen Graham,” as well as having a “minor part in something in Italy,” and “something in Scotland.”
He obviously can’t reveal too much information at this time, but the fans will no doubt be happy to hear that he has no plans to permanently leave our screens.
In a nutshell, you can’t really dispute with the fact that he wants to establish equilibrium.
