That pretty damn accurate description! I can say this from personal experience of being an avid fanfiction fanatic over the years. Never a dull moment.
+Gary Mcatear I was thinkin' the same mate, I'm thinking the word appeared in his head and as he got to about the 'I' he thought better of it. "You've never made me fai... cupcakes!"
Hi, well my engilsh is not very good but i'll try to explain. He's saying that "if anybody is giving" like "if anybody is the active one on the relationship" refering to the one who... how do i say it... put the gun in the hole, is gonna be him and Michael will be reciving it... something like that.
Nice to see men who are comfortable with their own sexuality and realize that it comes from fans who love them. They don't take it personally. I don't think James is uncomfortable - he's actually hilarious and playing it up.
@@iWantToBelieve... Oh well la-di-da. Who made you watch? Who made you the moral guardian of the internet? It's called freedom of expression and fan *art*. You don't want it, fine. You don't like it, also fine. But what's not is you moaning like an entitled little brat☝🏽 It's called fiction for a reason. Only idiots like you bring in the families and real life issues into it ☝🏽
@@roachesonly3072 Agreed. I spend a good chunk of my spare time reading fanfic (ao3 is where the true quality is at), and I have personal favorites when it comes to ships. However, I draw the line at shipping real people. I ship Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee like Fedex; I do not, however, ship Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. I don't know about you, but if I were a famous actor I personally would feel a bit uncomfortable with the knowledge that there are people out there writing porny slash fic about me and that one other actor I shared the screen with once but am not acquainted with off the set.

Mysterious Chocolate Chip I prefer fanfic.net Ao3 has quite a number of porn, mpreg, m/m... I try to avoid going there since I enjoy adventure based stories rather relationships.
+FullmetalandtheFlame I remember seeing a Superman fic on fanfiction.net once, which was 1mil+ words. Your comment has definitely put a perspective on that for me 😂
As an AO3 author, I was terrified when I saw the screenshot come up... My fear was justified. Hide yo stories hide yo works people - McBender is coming.
What I really love about this clip is that Michael and James 'complain' about the clothes and the top/bottom thing in the fan fiction and fan art, but they do not protest the gay images. This is so important!
It would be a bit awkward protesting gay images in front of Graham Norton, though they are obviously very good friends and entertained by the imagination of these artists and writers.
Adam Stringer Good point you're making. Still, I could imagine other actors (who are deep in the closet and/or afraid of their "manly" image being tarnished) saying something like: "isn't there any fan fiction about me and ... (whoever is the leading lady of the movie)?" You know, just to assure everyone watching in a fun and casual way that they are absolutely positively definitely heterosexual.
Tripti Thakur I'm with you! I also don't think they have an issue. But more importantly they SHOW that they don't have an issue. I think that sends a very important message to everybody watching. (And I'm going to have to look up those bits you mention :-D )
I think both Michael and James are both not homophobic. James have been known to make gay innuendos, like in a panel of the Frankenstein film (Comic Con or something) where he made jokes about him and Daniel Radcliffe. I find that many heterosexual people who aren't homophobic and who are secure in their sexuality wouldn't mind this sort of jokes. Also, James is really really cheeky, so.
These two really do act like an old married couple. That's the kind of friendship I wanna have. Where you can laugh about that stuff and bicker over dumb things but always hug it out in the end
Meadow MacIntyre In that way it reminds me of Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, they have a lovely relationship as well. Something about being Magneto and Professor X!
***** i've noticed that when they give interviews for their X-Men films, they both have their bodies turned towards each other, they're always touching and one or the other every time they move, they shift closer to the other...now i know James is a happily married man and all, but i still think he and Michael would be a good couple :D (or not...i'm claiming Michael for myself lol)
To the people who feel offended for these actors; don't. James and Michael were joking about them having sex with each other way before fans started to write about it. Watch any of their X-man interviews.
+akiheavenly6 I don't feel offended, but seriously, I feel so embarrassed just seeing this, and this isn't me in these illustrations and stories. The fact that they didn't cring, shift uncomftarbly or hide their faces in their hands but actually took it in stride and good humor is quite amazing to me. It's one thing to joke about it, and another to actually see image of yourself in compromising position with your colleague... I don't think I would have handled it very well, but these two managed greatly. Amazing.
FrozenVolcano Oh I'm sure that their minds totally went there when acting out those -gay- bromance scenes. They are grown men; it's naive of us to think that they have pure minds and didn't sense the homoerotic tension between Eric and Charles when they read the script. James thought it was totally gay and joked about him and Michael having sex in 3 interviews. Those two have already imagined them having sex so these fan arts wouldn't surprise them one bit.
+FrozenVolcano some people have a practically mechanized/weaponized sense of humor which is good for them but doesn't take away from the fact this stuff is still creepy and embarrassing
jesse kl It's the same like slapstick humour where we watch people go through painful situations for laughs. This form of humour may not be to everyone's liking, but it is humour; dark British humour.
@@Bookworm51485 right? I can't stand to read RPF, it always feels so disrespectful of the actors. Just go for the fictional characters, it feels way less stalker-ish.
There is nothing wrong with being a bottom, just some men are too proud to admit it....as if it makes them a lesser man... During first Class James actually said he was bending over for 7 months while they made First Class, then he laughed with Michael... so it's not just because he looks cute that is why people assume he is a bottom. Also Michael seems like an aggressive top....
@@alexiz0013 Didn't he do full frontal in "The Last King of Scotland" at one point? I seem to remember him showing the full Monty in one scene and being impressive. Not Fassmember impressive but impressive.
姚澜 He said that he thinks that whoever is creating the artwork is great - but if anyone is going to be 'giving' it in this relationship that has been created by fans then he thinks that its himself so thats why its funny because the host thought that he was offend by someone insinuating that he was gay so yeah its pretty funny.
Poor James, always being depicted as the "more feminine" (receiving) maybe because of his size considerably slighter than Michael and his almost pretty boy looks but damn, if we're honest, it's Michael who is obviously softer of the two. Not that Michael is less of a man but he has gentlemanly vibe while James is roguish hence the more assertive character much more fitting to him.
+Hannah B we all did , you know before those sites like archive of our own , fanfiction , and live journal were a just unique interset between fanfictions writers and the ones who seek to read fanfiction, but apparrently these sites had became famous as a place for people to unleash their creativity and imaginations , you could say they are almost famous as youtube and fb since they have millions stories in there . and of course since the fanfictions related to movies and series , then tv programs hosts take it as advantage to create a new section in their programs , who would knows that fanfictions and fan arts one day will be helpful to them, tv stars eventually knew what going on behind their backs and what the fans are cooking . so yeah those sites are world wildly known especially after apppearing on the norton show. the same for fan arts. whome ever created those sites , i don't think they expected this kind of sucess.
FulLazinessAlchemist in GN's defense...he didn't read the whole fic, he only read the intro/summary, which i believe is open for anyone to read out loud?
Hannah Koh Some of them are offended anyway, because these works are meant to be for a certain kind of public (From fangirl to fangirl). A request would have been more respectful
FulLazinessAlchemist They asked the fanwriter, it's in the comment section. There was a formally worded letter asking the writer if they could read out the summary on their show and for the writer to reply to their email. Plus when people came to her about it she said she knew and she was enthusiastic about it. So I dunno about the fanartists [I hope so!] but that particular fan writer gave permission.
Billie4Mozzarella They asked only to the first author, but not from the others because they read only the summaries. They should have asked them anyway, in my opinion
Right lol Some of this was difficult just to watch. I guess you really do have to be able to roll with the punches if youre gonna be in the public eye.
Thank god they were able to like it OR act like they like it infront of tv. If u think ppl or actors find these creepy or disgusting, multiple 3 times the cringe feeling the fans that love these actually feels.
I love how they're going with the flow of this interview. They're wonderful people! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying...too damn hilarious! Great dynamic interactions between these three!
I love how James yells, "What colour??" to the fanfic of him and Michael knitting scarves. #IfAnybodysGivin… James McAvoy This whole segment is brilliant. Love how they're all thoroughly debating the artwork scenarios. Well done.
I love how good natured they are about it. like they don't get grossed out about the "mpreg" or even about the idea of people shipping them together. if anything they seem amazed that people spend so much of their time and skills towards them. they're not mean about it, or tight lipped, they laugh about it in a good way.
James McAvoy has been one of my celeb crushes since I was 15 and when I saw this interview when it came out, everything he says made that crush so much stronger 😍😂❤️

I thought of the same thing!!!
I mean... all you need is a thneed.
I went and looked it up on Archive of Our Own. It's just... a poorly-knit scarf. Haha.
I freaking love James McAvoys humor.
Great to see them taking these things with humor.
Me Too😀 He's Brilliant! " Split" is one of the Best Movies I've Ever seen👍👏💖
3:52 Look how excited they get about knitting scarves xD
"what color!?" Lol
I always forget about James' accent. LOL. "Stop everythin' for a minute, mate." and that face. I love him.
That is one of the best parts for me in this vid.
Love the accent♡♡♡
This is my favorite video of all time. It's unhealthy how many times I have watched it
Did I catch James saying 'this is the end of our careers' at 3:13 ahsjjsajhhj, anyway love him to bits
But why aren't we talking about how Hugh, Michael and James are all in one place together? haha
Like threesome?
+Halim Boy exactly like a threesome
+DeafeatingPain Yesssssss😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Poor James, everyone assumes he's the bottom. Michael is obviously versatile.
*****
well, we don't know James's "size" yet so who knows if Michael's bigger lol
***** If you know gay people you'd know that body size does not determine sexual positions.
There is nothing wrong with being a bottom, just some men are too proud to admit it....as if it makes them a lesser man...
During first Class James actually said he was bending over for 7 months while they made First Class, then he laughed with Michael... so it's not just because he looks cute that is why people assume he is a bottom.
Also Michael seems like an aggressive top....
@@alexiz0013 Didn't he do full frontal in "The Last King of Scotland" at one point? I seem to remember him showing the full Monty in one scene and being impressive. Not Fassmember impressive but impressive.
At 1:35 when Graham looks so nervous about what James is going say aha
+Alice Martine I don't quite get what's funny about what James said
姚澜 He said that he thinks that whoever is creating the artwork is great - but if anyone is going to be 'giving' it in this relationship that has been created by fans then he thinks that its himself so thats why its funny because the host thought that he was offend by someone insinuating that he was gay so yeah its pretty funny.
Alice Martine oh thank you. does James mean "wrong position"??
+姚澜 basically yes
IM SORRY MICHAELS face expression had me DYING 3:59
“awwnn why am I not good at it too….? 🥹😢”
Poor James, always being depicted as the "more feminine" (receiving) maybe because of his size considerably slighter than Michael and his almost pretty boy looks but damn, if we're honest, it's Michael who is obviously softer of the two. Not that Michael is less of a man but he has gentlemanly vibe while James is roguish hence the more assertive character much more fitting to him.
i lost it when hugh said james was pregnant hahahaha
James McAvoy: "...If anyone's giving..."
Says the guy in the wheelchair.
Randall Miguel Michael made him a cripple.
Maybe Magneto will give Charles a pity ride for crippling him.
Randall Miguel oooooohhhhh savage!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
OOOOOH ROASTED XD
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
Haha
God I love their bromance! Two mindblowingly good actors and fine as hell men!!
Hugh's dying on the inside, he's having too much fun 😂😂
The amount of love and not caring from these blokes about talking about this makes me love them even more
James looks 10 years younger than his real age omg.
He gets better with each passing year.
is it bad that i instantly recognized the fanfiction site? 😂
+Hannah B we all did , you know before those sites like archive of our own , fanfiction , and live journal were a just unique interset between fanfictions writers and the ones who seek to read fanfiction, but apparrently these sites had became famous as a place for people to unleash their creativity and imaginations , you could say they are almost famous as youtube and fb since they have millions stories in there . and of course since the fanfictions related to movies and series , then tv programs hosts take it as advantage to create a new section in their programs , who would knows that fanfictions and fan arts one day will be helpful to them, tv stars eventually knew what going on behind their backs and what the fans are cooking . so yeah those sites are world wildly known especially after apppearing on the norton show. the same for fan arts. whome ever created those sites , i don't think they expected this kind of sucess.
You're a killjoy, so you're forgiven.
nope 😂
no, because ao3 is one of the most well known ffn sites
Hannah TheFallenKilljoy same
UPDATE: Checked the fic, they asked permission from the writer to show their fic on the show. Clearly they got permission. Good good! Good. I'm glad.
From what I know, they asked permission only from fanartists but not from fanwriters
FulLazinessAlchemist in GN's defense...he didn't read the whole fic, he only read the intro/summary, which i believe is open for anyone to read out loud?
Hannah Koh Some of them are offended anyway, because these works are meant to be for a certain kind of public (From fangirl to fangirl). A request would have been more respectful
FulLazinessAlchemist They asked the fanwriter, it's in the comment section. There was a formally worded letter asking the writer if they could read out the summary on their show and for the writer to reply to their email. Plus when people came to her about it she said she knew and she was enthusiastic about it. So I dunno about the fanartists [I hope so!] but that particular fan writer gave permission.
Billie4Mozzarella They asked only to the first author, but not from the others because they read only the summaries. They should have asked them anyway, in my opinion
James McAvoy totally admitting he’d be the top
His bromance with Fassbender is absolutely amazing
The quiet
“dont do this..” at 1:06
from McAvoy is making me laugh
It's brilliant how they can laugh about this really creepy fanfics :D
Right lol Some of this was difficult just to watch. I guess you really do have to be able to roll with the punches if youre gonna be in the public eye.
its how you know you are good friends; when you can hear and see this stuff and laugh it off
Thank god they were able to like it OR act like they like it infront of tv. If u think ppl or actors find these creepy or disgusting, multiple 3 times the cringe feeling the fans that love these actually feels.
I love how they're going with the flow of this interview. They're wonderful people! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying...too damn hilarious! Great dynamic interactions between these three!
I have not laughed this hard in a LONG time. My fucking diaphragm is hurting
+Shahm Shaar My diaphragm is lonely.
it's early morning for me and my mum is a light sleeper, the walls are really thin too so I'm just trying hot to laugh so my diaphragm is killing me
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Stop. Everything. For a minute. Mate." Idk why it's so funny 😂
I love how much fun they have about talking about this stuff. Hugh is just loving it.
I absolutely LOVE James's sense of humor!!😂😂
"I DON'T WANT TO WEAR THE DUNGAREES!"
Oh my lord, I'm dying XD
What time ?
@@heyitsbrook6577 4:40 Hugh says it.
Am i the only one that finds the funniest part of this the way James goes "stop everything for a minute mate"
"After finding out James is pregnant with twins..."
I just died, this was so funny!
They are all so gorgeous…
Is it Graham's hobby to look up fanfiction and fanart?
Indeed.
I wouldn't hold him against him if it was
I'll bet he's the one that writes and draws them.
Freeman Trash I'm pretty sure graham prolly wrote the fanfiction
Freeman Trash It's definitely mine XD
I love how James yells, "What colour??" to the fanfic of him and Michael knitting scarves.
#IfAnybodysGivin… James McAvoy
This whole segment is brilliant. Love how they're all thoroughly debating the artwork scenarios. Well done.
Oh, you noticed that? Cool. I didn't, so I'm glad someone else did.
I love how good natured they are about it. like they don't get grossed out about the "mpreg" or even about the idea of people shipping them together. if anything they seem amazed that people spend so much of their time and skills towards them. they're not mean about it, or tight lipped, they laugh about it in a good way.
James McAvoy has been one of my celeb crushes since I was 15 and when I saw this interview when it came out, everything he says made that crush so much stronger 😍😂❤️
Even as a straight man I can admit that is one handsome couch.
