His wife is Anne-Marie Duff.

Oh no no no no no....watch Becoming Jane, Atonement, and Penelope. This gentleman is not only an extremely fine actor (is that a pun?) but truly truly just flat out sexy. Charming and a such a GREAT smile. Even in his movie Starter for 10...magnificent & yummy!

It doesn't matter if he's married, he's still sexy. There are lots married actors who are hot but no one could compare to James McAvoy. He's sexy on and off screen. He doesn't need to be validated from anyone but the fact that there are lots of people out there who supports Mr.McAvoy is proof of his sexiness. I can go on and on about how great he is but that would take up this whole page so if you need more convincing go to his imdb.com board

Definitely watch Becoming Jane, Atonement, Starter for 10, etc. (pretty much all his movies). He's even sexy as Tummas (the faun) in Chronicles of Narnia ;)

The fact that he's married makes him sexier. The fact that she's a talented actor herself and they both conduct themselves very maturely and privately makes him more desirable. He's got the infamous Scottish charm with a hidden sexiness and the talent to keep crushes like mine going for a long time.

James is one of the most talented young actors of today. He is a very vesatile actor who has played SO many different roles...he literally continues to amaze me. You really do have to watch all of his movies just to see how very versatile and fantastic he is.....his acting speaks for himself.

Pretty much everyone at our website loves this fine, talented actor.

I adore him.. He has the most soulful eyes-In 40 years from now, when his pictures and movie stills of him in his 20's are displayed, they will still be the feature of him that comes across the most. His talent is evolving with every film that he makes. I am sure he will he will continue becoming one of the finest actors of our time.

Oh, my goodness....where do I begin. Not only does he have the most gorgeous baby blue eyes, but he also has charisma. Plus, looks aren't the only thing that make a guy sexy. He has a lot of charm. If you have seen any of his talk show interviews, you would also see he has a great sense of humor. He also seems to be a very down to earth person. All of these things make him very sexy in my eyes.

Sorry, I was in a bit of hurry earlier and realized that I only talked about James wonderful acting....

First off, just because a person is married, does not MEAN that he is suddenly and automatically NOT sexy anymore. One thing does NOT have one single thing to do with the other.

Secondly, James IS drop dead gorgeous......there are LOT of women out there who would NOT dispute that.

Thirdly and like TX Bluebonnet pointed out, he's got a GREAT sense of humour. I HAVE seen him on those talk shows....his sense of humour is wonderful!

And staying along the lines of talk show interviews, you can also tell that he is VERY down to earth which is another thing that I personally find VERY sexy.

And once again, I have to point out his remarkable, phenomenal acting.

James McAvoy is the real deal, the FULL package. If you don't find any of these qualities sexy or appealing, then I don't know what you would find sexy or appealing.

There's a youthful, buoyancy about him and he's extremely attractive but I hesitate to call him cute because, if it were just about the way he looks, well, Zac Efron's cute...that doesn't really convey what's most appealing to me about James McAvoy. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to bag on Zac Ephron. He's...um...cute! :-)
It's just that McAvoy doesn't bring that particular adjective to mind when I watch him or when, I guess, most of the women I know watch him. It isn't just his intelligence or humility or his quick sense of humor either. Maybe the fact that he can use his voice to best effect, and can morph into anything or anyone adds to his mystique. I like the way he carries himself...the way he moves. Lots of great actors move with a certain ferocity and are emotive in their physicality. Not quite like James McAvoy of course, because when he does it, it's electric. There's an intensity about him, and that intensity motivates and informs more than his characterisation. It's not just in his dramatic work. It's in his comedy. It's in his public appearances. His presence is a part of who he is and how he communicates to an audience and it's exciting to watch him. His face is as undeniably expressive as the rest of him. It manages to convey many things at once. His eyes...if they are a window to the soul...manage to convey a deep sense of having seen far more than his 29 years would suggest. And those eyes still reflect optimism, despite the exposure.
Maybe you're just at the beginning of the inquiry. Just noticing him for the first time.
You're not hearing his suggestive, and highly erotic, whispering voice narrating Tom Jones to you as you read it, the way Austen hears it in Becoming Jane. You're not seriously considering flying half way around the world to watch him peel off a drenched sweater on a stage at a distance of about 20 paces.
You're not teaching yourself Klingon on the remote chance you'll bump into him in a line at Comic Con and be able to relay a funny joke in said language involving Thundercats and muscley breasts.
*COUGH*
What?
Actually, I already know Klingon.
Don't ask.
But I have a friend who's learning Orc for that same aforementioned reason...and I'll have you know she's quite sane in every other aspect of her life except for this James McAvoy thing! lol
But I digress...
The thing is, he seems to command the same kind of impulsive intensity he projects...and, as Common alluded to, you just can't take your eyes off of the man. There's just something about him. You just want to watch him. ALL THE TIME. He's magnetic.
And, again, it's not just the way he looks. It's who he is. It's his sense of humor, his kindness, his charisma, his thoughtfulness, his charm, his talent, his passion, his open-ness, his strong sense of family and commitment, his gentlemanliness, his energy, his intelligence, his perspective, his humility, his wisdom, his playfulness, his empathy...
If you look back at the classic actors. The all time greats? They're men who know who they are first and actors perhaps second. James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart...they had a fire in them that made you want to live when you watched them. You could argue that any of those guys weren't much to look at either but what makes them icons is more than just not wanting to kick them out of bed isn't it?

WOW Nez! You are spot on!

I can only add that the sexiest men I have ever known are ones who have grown on me. You know, the kind who over time become more and more attractive the more you see them, learn about them or get to know them. Sexy is depth. Although I don't know Mr. McAvoy personally, he has certainly grown on me since I first saw him in LKoS for the very reasons that Nez mentioned above.

Oh, and those of us otherwise sane women who admire James are generally under no illusions of ever having personal relationships with him. The fact that he married and is committed to the woman he loves only makes him sexier. Really, what could be sexier than a man who wants to walk through life with a woman and isn't afraid of settling down? It gives me hope.

Nez took the words out of my mouth. The key word is "magnetic" when it comes to James McAvoy.

I just wanted to add that him being married is a moot point when it comes to The Sexiest Man title. Hugh Jackman has been married for quite a long time and he and his wife have several kids together.

Well said Nez!! You said what I wanted to say but wasn't able to quite find the right words last night!

It was the same for me. I was not a James McAvoy fan right from the beginning, he grew on me too...and I have to agree about him becoming more and more attractive the more I have learned about him.

I never like anyone who is only good-looking. His personality, charisma, talent, humor, and beauty all combine to make him unbelievably attractive. He's a beautiful person all around and that is very sexy indeed.

What do I see in James McAvoy? Is he sexy enough to top the list of the sexiest guys?What interesting questions!

James has an almost indefinible quality - I think nez nailed it - a charisma that takes all of his qualities: looks, personality, intelligence, and acting ability - and merges them into an incredibly sexy man! Yeah, in my opinion, he has more that enough to top any list. Not only is he very very nice to look at (love those intense eyes and that teasing smile), but the delightful scottish accent isn't too shabby either! He is also finally gaining the recognition he deserves for his spectacular acting.

And, when asked what it was like kissing Angelina Jolie he gave an incredibly sweet answer: Not as nice as kissing someone you are actually in love with.

Now, that is sexy in my book!

Well, thank goodness we don´t all have the same taste. I do not find him the least bit attractive or sexy. Antonio Banderas is sexy, George Clooney is a ..100. Colin Farrel is fabulously sexy. Richard Gere is still sexy! Among the blondes, Brad Pitt and Jude Law are sexy. No more.

What attracts me to him, as an actor and a person, is this angel/devil thing he's got going on. It draws me in like a powerful magnet. For someone who is slight in stature, pale-skinned and not conventionally handsome, he has an air of confidence about him that is utterly captivating. He's intelligent, passionate, and wise beyond his years, but at the same time he is shy, humble, compassionate, vulnerable, emotive and is capable of moving me to tears like no other actor I've seen. He has an infectious sense of humor and his Scottish (vacuum of) charm and accent are just icing on the cake.

In all of the interviews I've seen of him, I don't think I've ever heard him speak ill of anyone. If someone asks him an unpleasant question, he eloquently works his way around it in a very diplomatic way. Despite his humble beginnings and rather trying childhood, he's incredibly positive and I think that's very sexy, indeed. He has a combination of qualities that are rarely seen these days, especially on the big screen.

James has this sort of unique features that captivates the heart and souls of many people including myself. Sure he's not your average good looking leading male actors, yet he attracts people in every genre imaginable. He is the greatest actor in our generation.
