James McAvoy told Details magazine that he would love for his career to mimic that of actor Matt Damon's.  "I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne," he said.

The actor is currently promoting Wanted, where he costars and makes out with Angelina Jolie. I get a gut feeling that deep down Matt Damon probably wouldn't mind trading places with the kid.

Another reason to love James? He's very vocal about the pressures Hollywood places on women, and he gave one very good example.

"I saw a clip of something - this girl has on a humongous fat suit and she's singing that 'my milk shake brings all the boys to the yard' song, and I just felt like, 'That's so disrespectful.' I would not want to be a woman in this industry. Horrible."

Look at his eyes, his smile. I love this amazing guy. His personal ad is still available at that millionaire dating site Richromances.com where celebrities and wealthy singles are hooking up. Is he looking girls?

didn't "wanted" completely bomb at the box office? this guy doesn't have enough pull to bring in the crowds to a summer action movie.

all of angelina's recent movies have bombed

i think all the excess publicity in the magazines has done more harm than good to her career

Prediction: James McAvoy will be one of our greatest actors of this century. He'll join ranks with stewart, bogart, gable, brando, and dean. So I plan on seeing every movie that this very talented and unique actor makes.

He will also stay married, a talent in itself in LA.

To tony the tiger: Wanted did not bomb at all, in fact it exceeded all expectations in the U.S. box office, taking over 50 million dollars in its opening weekend, very good for an R-rated movie. In fact, it was the third biggest opening for R-rated action film EVER. Also, Angelina's biggest hit to date.

I completely agree with you Lilith, James is a legend already. His talent and charisma shines through ever in average movies and he can do no wrong.

And I want to be Anne-Marie Duff.

Sigh. I just fell in love with James McAvoy. That comment he made about certain movies being disrespectful to women... again with a sigh...

most humorless ciggy boozer u ever met.
has that one look: stoned consternation..

No, Wanted did not "bomb" at the box office. It's doing very well in fact.

Also, James never actually said that he wanted to be like Matt Damon. You guys have completely misquoted him. I've read the article and he never says it at all. The writer of the article "guesses" that is what studio execs are thinking of him. Why don't you check your sources again next time?

I found socialitelife.celebuzz.com very informative. The article is professionally written and I feel like the author knows the subject very well. socialitelife.celebuzz.com keep it that way.
