The Glasgow-born actor has starred in a variety of book to film adaptations by Stephen King, Zadie Smith, Ian McEwan, Philip Pullman, and more
This comes after the X-Men actor opened up about the racist abuse his cast-mates faced in Glasgow while touring Cyrano de Bergerac in Glasgow. The Scots star admitted he was 'scunnered' by the abuse, and was relieved to leave Scotland when the tour took them to Brooklyn.
Speaking ahead of the new seasons release, McAvoy told The Guardian that he's not met the series author out of worry he wouldn't approve of his casting. McAvoy continued: “I’ve had that with a writer, and it’s just not nice. I’ve had that with two writers, actually.” “Nah, Irvine loved that,” speaking of Filth. He added: “Stephen was really nice and I didn’t know what to expect from him. I love his books and I think he’s f***ing amazing.”
“He wasn’t disparaging,” recalled McAvoy. “He just gave me… nothing. And I was a bit devastated. Then he said I was a bit small – because my character Robbie, was meant to be this 6ft tanned Adonis, and I was a 25-year-old pasty Glaswegian who’s 5ft-nothing.”
