8 Apr
Summary
- James McAvoy revealed a secret son born four years ago.
- He found fatherhood in his forties easier but more tiring.
- McAvoy described his directorial debut as a 'nightmare'.
Scottish actor James McAvoy attended the premiere of his directorial debut, 'California Schemin',' with his wife Lisa Liberati. This appearance follows McAvoy's recent announcement that he and Liberati secretly welcomed a son four years ago. McAvoy, 46, shared that he finds fatherhood in his forties easier in some ways due to less worry, but also more challenging due to age and fatigue.
McAvoy's directorial venture, 'California Schemin',' which he also stars in, is based on a true story about a Dundee rap duo. Despite a personal connection to the subject matter, McAvoy described the directing experience as a 'nightmare,' noting the difficulty of focusing on creative direction amidst practical production issues like securing essential facilities.
McAvoy and Liberati, who married in 2022, met on the set of 'Split' in Philadelphia. They have a shared residence in London with occasional stays in Philadelphia, where Liberati's parents reside. McAvoy previously co-parents his older son, Brendan, with his ex-wife Anne-Marie Duff.
