I’m always blown away by how strong James McAvoy’s accent is because he’s so good at nailing other types of accent that when he speaks in his native voice it’s like “whoa, he’s brilliant!” Not to mention ridiculously handsome and humble, great actor, I just adore him.
Nana Hs really? I had no idea he was Scottish until i’ve heard him I’m interviews. He doesn’t have to brag or get egotistical about it but come on man, admit you’ve got the talent. He just super humble I guess.
Carolina Murtha Humility and self-deprecation is a very British thing. Our ethos is: let other people praise you but don’t do it yourself; it’s arrogant and vulgar. There’s nothing more odious to us than a person braying about their own qualities - their qualities are for others to decide. It’s really ingrained in the British psyche, to the point that it’s difficult to complete job applications and interviews because they require lauding yourself!
If you haven't seen him on SNL last weekend you Must. He has a great Cajun accent, and an amazing Midwest US accent (my home, he nailed it, hints of a Michigan specific area on the Charmin commercial)
@Soulafein82 I think it's a combination of being in a group (so the focus isn't completely on you) and the fact that they talk for a longer time makes GNS so great. It doesn't feel as rushed. The alcohol and the fact that Graham Norton is hilarious doesn't hurt either.
One thing about Seth is he seems to be one of the only hosts who will cut himself off mid sentence when his guest starts to speak, he knows we're all here to listen to the guest anyway. Better than Jimmy "talk over everyone" Kimmel
you're so right!!!!!! seth is also very humble. I think he's just more introverted than other hosts in general. note how he made a self-deprecating joke when he said "confidence must be a delight to go through life with".
"...confidence must be a delight to go through life with." Lol sometimes I forget Seth is a comedian before a talk show host and then he says something unscripted like that.
He said “A confidence”...emphasis on the A. (He first says “an earned confidence”) he’s not saying he himself hasn’t got any confidence. They’re both talking about how the confidence that Sam has got is of an unmatched quality.
It sounds like a quote to me! He didnt pause within the sentence and the way the sentence is structured sounds almost poetic... googled it, but found nothing.
Oh thanks, I couldn't understand what he said before the Narnia thing, sitting here like did he day Mr Tumnus?? But it didn't sound like it.. And then you saved me, it was that easy all along lol
He really pulled back on his accent in this interview. Which is understandable bc most Americans can’t understand a Scottish accent, let alone a pure Glaswegian. He’s so conscious of his audience and that’s great but I just love it when he can speak normally without having to worry about being understood. No hate, just wish I can hear more of that lovely Scottish accent of his.
McAvoy has become a great and well known actor in is own right already. Like he said, he's worked with a ton of big stars before, too, so it's not a new thing to sit next to two big movie stars. Band of Brothers, Shameless, ...Narnia, Atonement, Wanted, just to name a few.
This dude went up on my list of actors quick. He's great. I can see him using that kid voice on a movie like big (i think its big) with tom Hanks being in a grown body but still technically a kid.
Ok what James McAvoy DOES NOT say here speaks volumes. Let me break it down.... Bruce Willis has a reputation of being difficult to work with and a bit of a grouch/ass. I don't know if he was here, but when asked what it was like to work with Bruce and Samuel, he only mentions that he liked watching him in Moonlighting and that's it. Then when he moved on to Samuel L. Jackson he said he loved working with him lol. It is even worse when you realize that Bruce Willis did not have a good time doing Moonlighting, and tried hard to shake that typecast when he went into films. So, whether he meant to or not, mentioning Moonlighting as your main like of Willis is a great way to piss him off. Maybe some passive-aggressive or being as diplomatic as possible from James McAvoy lol.
He admired Bruce since "Moonlighting". I've followed James since "Children of Dune". Back before Sci-Fi went all shite SyFy. James as Leto II had me hooked, and Jessica Brooks as Ghanima = 💖Man, I'm gonna have to go re-watch that whole set of mini-series now (Dune + Children)
Wow. I saw that Lorraine Kelly interview. They must have edited the hell out of it because I didn't get a hint of the awkwardness he's talking about. My main assumption out of it was that Samuel wouldn't understand Lorraine's Scottish accent (which is thicker than James').
lol thanks i was gonna go on a youtube search for that video but at the same time i figured they edited and left those parts out so u saved me the time
I saw it before watching this and knew immediately which one he meant. She really was a sweetheart (morning shows usually annoy the crap outta me with how vacuous they can be) and the questions would have been better face to face and one on one. Sam had a hard time keeping a straight face in that edited version tho~ I am half his age and it's hard for me not to get impatient with repeat questions with obvious answers. Sam is 70 already, damn. He'll always be the guy who told us to "hold on to your butts" ;D
How is he not Oscar nominated for split or the horde character? Are the academy blind? Its amazing acting. If he was my mate I'd never believe a word he ever said. 😂
When literally everyone else sees a terrifying haunted abandoned mental hospital: AHHHHHHHHHHHH *cue 18 mental breakdowns* When Scottish people see a terrifying haunted abandoned mental hospital: that's a pretty scary little joint, it was freezing, I like my nipples, I don't want them sewn back on. edit: this was funnier in my head
@5:00 - the call out he's referring to: ruclips.net/video/LxP-RYVTq8A/видео.html - I think the moment he's talking about is when she compliments(?) Jackson & McAvoy about their "vanity" in their films (at 3:43 in that interview).
Consider all the people James has worked with. Morgan Freeman, Ian McKellan, Samuel L Jackson, Patrick Stewart, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis (to name just a few). He's like a new age Kevin Bacon lol
I went back to listen it does start to sound like Daven Mcavoy and now I can't unhear it 😂 Edit: listened to it again and now it sounds like Dames McAvoy
0:56 I am starting a campaign. There HAS to be a band that will play Billy Oceans "love really hurts without you" when James comes in. Please. Just to see his face.
Wait, they filmed in an abandoned psychiatric hospital in PA? I can only think of one that fits the bill and that’s Pennhurst. How are they still alive?!

wonder why one of his personalities could not just be a scottish person to give him a break once and awhile and just talk naturally
Hahaaaaa
Did you even watch the movie? There is a personality that speaks with a Scottish accent.
@@MossPalone pretty sure that alter is Irish
Why? Smh
@@MossPalone I can tell you forsure that there is no personality Kevin has who speaks in a Scottish accent.

And yet he said he's not good with accents:(

You have the accent
If you haven't seen him on SNL last weekend you Must. He has a great Cajun accent, and an amazing Midwest US accent (my home, he nailed it, hints of a Michigan specific area on the Charmin commercial)
I'm now stalking the James McAvoy chat show appearances coz that voice just gets me. I love when he talks in his natural accent it's so rare now.
kassard1 same here
Come live in Scotland, it's not so rare here 😂
Do yourself a favor and check out his Graham Norton show appearances then. They're amazing.
it really is a vortex of scottish charm (watch is Craig Ferguson interviews, it gets real Scottish real fast).

Americans: oh he has an accent
James: No YOU have the accent.
If you think about it... then. yes..
lol
The accent is neutral, but Hollywood is American so.......
He's sooo cute！
even though I saw him mostly in in American movies, I wish he could use his natural accent. I love his accent and the British or English accent too
He has the best personality, love watching interviews where he just gets to be himself.
which one😏
@@1rickopotamus haha
One thing about Seth is he seems to be one of the only hosts who will cut himself off mid sentence when his guest starts to speak, he knows we're all here to listen to the guest anyway. Better than Jimmy "talk over everyone" Kimmel
Thought it's Jimmy Fallon who talk over everyone.. Kimmel is not so bad compared to Fallon, and rarely giving fake reaction too imo
Both Jimmy's are incredibly annoying
Both jimmys are so fucking annoying
you're so right!!!!!! seth is also very humble. I think he's just more introverted than other hosts in general. note how he made a self-deprecating joke when he said "confidence must be a delight to go through life with".
Graham Norton Is The Best..

This man is so underrated. Best actor in the world
Yeah, I feel bad that it’s so hard for people to understand him because of his accent !! I love it, it’s apart of his charm !!
“You know, back on naRNIA”
"and I'm like, yknow dude I'm not here goin like, "oh i was in atonement".."
Oh thanks, I couldn't understand what he said before the Narnia thing, sitting here like did he day Mr Tumnus?? But it didn't sound like it.. And then you saved me, it was that easy all along lol
"Unbreakable" was NINETEEN years ago. Damn.
Pak RT yeah thanksgiving 2000
ikr? time really flies.

Loved him in The Last King of Scotland & Split. So talented.
You should check out Filth if you haven't seen it... My favorite movie of his 😁😁
@@HillaryMyo I've seen so many praises of that movie. I'm getting anxious to watch it.
James M. is hosting SNL this week. Can't wait!!!
Mia7189 Saturday the 26th

His accent is life!
Very Scottish
@@nawfaleffendi9132 ikr

Ikr ?! He deserves a dozen for all of his films. He’s so underrated
I alway love to hear he talk. The way he talk and the accent.. omg... His character in Becoming Jane... really suit him well...

Most humble actor
Damn, he has an amazing head of hair! He is just awesome.
He really is a wee little man. One of my faves

I'm waiting for the meme gifs of him turning into the beast from Xmen.
Or dan Stevens from legion

Awesome movie along with Split. He is way too underrated. Love love love him!
"I do like my nipples" hahahaha wouldn't expect anything less from McAvoy
I'm hypnotized by his accent it's so hot
So damn under-rated! I love him!
James McAvoy... the reason I had a crush on a satyr.

Wow never thought of that
Or maybe you're overthinking
Samuel L. Jackson 2020
He admired Bruce since "Moonlighting". I've followed James since "Children of Dune". Back before Sci-Fi went all shite SyFy. James as Leto II had me hooked, and Jessica Brooks as Ghanima = 💖Man, I'm gonna have to go re-watch that whole set of mini-series now (Dune + Children)
He's terrific but that series was cheesy af, nothing close to the genius of the original novels
I've followed james since he played Steve in Shameless.
Amanda Keogh
I LOVED him and his ex-wife in 'Shameless'. I really fancied him as that character & really liked his English accent.
Maddie! Maddie Hayes!
i love him so much awhh
"I really like my nipples,I don't want to have to have them sewn back on you know..." Oh James, again?😅

Life goal: To have a pair as big as Sam L Jackson
Sexy Scottish accent, Mcavoy is just beautiful. :-)
i went straight to searching loraine kelly's interview with sam and james, shits too funny lol im laughing but also crying 😂
Hope he wins Oscar this year😭
1:00 wtf is his laugh omg
Love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: this was funnier in my head
It's funny
McAvoy for the win.
"I saw examples of what I might be able to do when I've got the balls that he's got" 😂😂😂
Actor James mcavoy guapísimo ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Did anyone else notice the crowd (or I guess laugh track) stops very awkwardly when he says the mental patient joke?

My hands cant hold my phone anymore. There r roaming around 'my down there' part😍💀
Samuel L Jackson he can shout he can shout and he can shout but I guess for me his best quality as an actor is he can shout
Sam Jackson is one of the coolest people ever!
Here for James! Sorry Seth 🤷🏻♀️ I really want to go see this movie 🍿 🎥!!!!!!
OMG yay a shoutout to Lorraine Kelly loooool! Another Scot like James :)
Lovely man
I remember seeing James in Children of Dune for the first time was I was a Kid and thinking wow this guy is going places.
Good questions.
Who else thinks of Trainspotting everytime when hearing his Scottish accent lol
Love to see him and Ewan in a movie together. Imagine a Kenobi film with the two. With James as the antagonist.
Well, he did Filth, both Trainspotting and Filth were written by the same guy. I recommend it if you haven't seen already.
@@Clerzinha1 I enjoyed filth to an extent. It was in my opinion much darker than Trainspotting.
Consider all the people James has worked with.
Morgan Freeman, Ian McKellan, Samuel L Jackson, Patrick Stewart, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis (to name just a few).
He's like a new age Kevin Bacon lol
1:36 😂😂
DUDE HE FILMED IN PENNSYLVANIA?!!??? HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS? #PennsylvanianPride
Seth said "Please welcome David McAvoy, everyone!"
I went back to listen it does start to sound like Daven Mcavoy and now I can't unhear it 😂
Edit: listened to it again and now it sounds like Dames McAvoy
No, he didn't say David he said James. lol
lol sounded like he said James McAvoy.
0:56 I am starting a campaign. There HAS to be a band that will play Billy Oceans "love really hurts without you" when James comes in. Please. Just to see his face.
00:35 Forget his name?
God i love him
Man this movie must’ve been exhausting for him all that raging and changing of roles
So fucking talented!
“I do like my nipples” had me CACKLING
Scottish accent is the best 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wait, they filmed in an abandoned psychiatric hospital in PA? I can only think of one that fits the bill and that’s Pennhurst. How are they still alive?!
0:36 Lol he said Dave McAvoy
Wait did Seth really just say X-Men wrong 😂
lol he did but he corrected himself soon later.
LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS JAMES MCAVOY
Drake's my new main man
I wonder if he was at Pennhurst
Oh yeah yeah
oh you mean *Samuelll Jackson*
Half of this conversation is me trying to understand what he’s saying
