James McAvoy Describes Speak No Evil as "Upsetting" and "Horrific"

[@ceg4609]

He's too good at creepy. Really enjoy his acting.

[@Kanoog]

You'd be surprised what amazing actors can pull off.

[@sabbiss]

James Mcavoy always making me smile all throughout his interviews like a maniac omg..

[@coreymichael1880]

Watched the movie over the weekend. All I can say is the acting is absolutely incredible. James nailed the character completely. Charming, funny, intense and fiercely intimidating all at the same time. Such an amazing movie!

[@btsarmy0787]

I'm so happy the audience gave him the cheers he so rightfully deserved, and he always stays so humble anywhere he goes I love this man!! I know he will be even more successful in the future

[@helenogbonna3361]

Someone saying they’re kinda a fan but meh

[@sabbiss]

I cant get enough of James Mcavoy!!

[@NanaNana-ss1ww]

How is he always so witty and charming that I can’t get enough of him

[@meaganladewig5101]

One of my favorite actors. Every movie character he plays he nails it, so brilliant.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Love him too.

[@michelledenise5096]

His whole outfit is ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Please have James on the family trips podcast. I'm sure that episode would leave me in tears because I'd laugh so hard.

[@helenogbonna3361]

Dunno

[@Chr1st8l]

No idea he was this awesome of a personality!!! My new fave

[@j1407bmoon]

Watch his interviews on Graham Norton show. He's a riot.

[@Jai_BestLife]

I saw the original 'Speak No Evil' on a Shudder, and really liked it. Since I love some James, I'll probably see this version as well.

Oh! It's the Vortex of Scottish Charm! 🥰🥰🥰 I love James' accent.

I like Seth and James together!! They've always had good chemistry

[@matil_yoda]

I love James he is an incredible actor

[@repboy1]

Only James can play a terrible guy and scary yet you love him. Was a great movie

[@LaurieSwenson]

I love what he says about being unsettling and walking the tightrope. I don't watch horror movies, but I've been so captivated with his face in the trailers. His expressions are so unsettling but also so curious, and I think I'm going to end up seeing this movie. I was just going to try to see a synopsis, until I watched this video.

[@akanshapandey5938]

So did you watch it?

[@Mimi-zj1qc]

Both Seth and James are gorgeus silver foxes

[@lchanceiv]

I need a “Daydrinking” segment with these two. After an hour James will be going full Scott

[@ophelias4172]

Oh god! That would be the absolute best!

And very good looking

It is always amazed me how he can switch on and off.

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

Please go day drinking with James!!😂❤

[@JillKnapp]

I hope his accent gets really really thick when he's drunk. 😁

[@indiarael1134]

Peebles are excited about weird Scottish circuses but if it’s one or the other, day drinking is the right choice.

[@gus.lopgar]

Somehow I truly believe McAvoy will be like 5% drunk by the time Seth passes out. Sorry, Seth, but no.

[@gilpinsteven]

Seems like a very cool dude. And he's also a great actor.

[@rizqiefajar]

He was amazing in the movie

[@kathydisalvo905]

James is so incredibly talented! Omg!

[@ramonaboggio7402]

There are no consequences to aging when you look as good as James McAvoy.😍

[@suzymatuz1265]

Totally agree

[@kyttyke89]

Give this man an Oscar already holy Christ...waited enough

[@davsny5]

So totally agree, man! Split, It. Chapter 2 and Speak No Evil, what more do you need man?

[@PhoenixHinds]

I just watched this movie. It is very good. I saw the original as well. They both hold their own.

[@jackiesantangelo6610]

One of the scariest actors out there right now - Like Robert Mitchum terrorizing Gregory Peck scary.

[@ThatsaTechnicalFoul]

Totally! He plays diabolical extremely well.

[@spameranne]

I'm so intrigued by this characterization, but I can't go down a rabbit hole figuring it out. (sleep is calling hard and I want to watch the 2nd part of the interview!) please, is it a specific movie reference or was Mitchum horrible to Peck IRL? thank you in advance

[@Newton-Reuther]

​@@spameranneIt's a reference to Cape Fear (1962)

[@masterofallgoons]

​@@Newton-Reuther- He's even more threatening in Night of the Hunter though, I'd say.

[@mothwings99]

I was about to say that the vibe I was getting from McAvoy in the trailer was like seeing Mitchum in Night of the Hunter.

[@itmeyaboitheline3419]

Excited to see this, I’m danish so I’ve seen the og a couple times even saw it in the theater, but I’m really excited to see one of my all time favourite actors James McAvoy, portray the character of Patrick!

[@tamara_cortes]

I'm a huge fan of him since "Becoming Jane" (my favourite movie ever ❤️). A great actor and so charming, humble and funny ❤️🤗

[@Keglin329]

I have loved him since "King of Scotland."

[@MatthewGClarke]

7:43 "I don't want to give anything away" Oh don't worry, the trailer already did that (if you've seen the original film you'll definitely know what I mean)

[@TeRiFic05]

Say “devilish” again James. 🥰

[@callous99]

He's fantastic. He plays these psychotic and evil characters so perfectly! I watched Speak No Evil yesterday, and I really liked the story. But what really stood out was James McAvoy! I don't want to spoil anything, but his personality shift throughout the film was brillant! It's so fascinating that such a sweet, funny, and charismatic man is able to immerse himself in such sinister characters. As a child, I had a crush on him as Mr. Tumnus. As a teen, I had a crush on him in X-Men. Now, at 25, I have a crush on him in every horror film. 2:23 German efficiency! So true! (I'm from Germany)😂

[@manuelacassuto]

Correction … Berliners go to Berghain on a Sunday morning til Sunday night. It only opens Sunday morning (midnight) but closes Monday morning;)

[@lashendawest7509]

We love james McAvoy and seth meyers

Loved this film so much. James was a complete beast!

[@mikenoface]

2:50 Fact check: In Berlin, nothing opens on Monday morning until noon. So they also don't start Monday until noon.

[@winonalovers]

Why Monday? I think he is talking about Saturday and Sunday. And on Monday everybody gets back to work.

[@mikenoface]

@@winonalovers yeah..for normal folks, but in Berlin, and Berghain (club), the party starts Friday night and goes until Sunday morning for some. Which I why on Mondays, like I said... most businesses do not open at 8 or 9am like normal. They open at noon because people are still recovering from the weekend.

[@hotbambi2010]

He is so amazing

[@Rheubie]

For those wondering, the play he mentions appears to be "The Reel of the Hanged Man," en français "Un « reel » ben beau, ben triste," which is a Québecois play set in Abitibi-Temiscamingue, which is kind of the middle of nowhere in Québec. I expect it was a bit of a departure from what the audience was used to.

[@chrislau2297]

James is such an underrated actor. He could play pretty much any role in.

I probably would have watched it had I NOT seen the original. The original made me MAD. I don't need to see it again.

[@pppaaattt4671]

I didn’t see the original. I really liked this one.

[@SunnieGirl63]

I don't know if I want to see it either for the simple reason of it made me mad too but also physically sick. I was literally screaming and crying during watching the original (I don't do that with any horror movie), it brought out such immense feelings that my poor dogs jumped on top of me to protect me and to calm me down too and they're not small dogs. So, if I do see it, I'll wait til it streams, and I can watch it from the safety of home. I absolutely love McAvoy. He's an amazing actor. His facial expressions are terrifying though 😂.

[@Samm00031]

Same! It's not a pleasant movie to watch for sure ... I heard this version has made some major changes so I will maybe give it a go. Without seeing the original I would've most likely gone straight to the theater upon release

[@akanshapandey5938]

You guys would have found this film cathartic if you watched it in the cinema. It's very tense and gripping but also very entertaining, and you come out of the theatre with a warmed heart not a broken one.
