During the Cannes or Toronto area TIFF, actor James McAvoy, known for his role in the film franchise and for directing his new film, was suddenly attacked by an unknown person at the Charlotte\u2019s Room bar. According to witnesses, the incident occurred around 11:55 p.m., when an intoxicated man hit McAvoy from behind. The scene served as a reason for de-escalation, and the establishment quickly removed the offender, after which McAvoy continued the evening with the producers and crew of the film \u201cCalifornia Schemin’\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sources close to the actor said that McAvoy did not suffer any serious injuries; he remained at the bar and later learned that the staff asked the aggressor to leave before he attacked the star. The actor himself and his representatives did not provide any comment at the time of publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recall that the premiere of the film \u201cCalifornia Schemin’\u201d took place at TIFF: the film tells the true story of the savage duo Silibil N\u2019 Brains, who pretended to be Americans in order to achieve their dreams of fame. McAvoy stars in and directs the debut film, which received positive reviews at the festival. McAvoy has previously said that directing this project was stressful but exciting for him, and that cinema allows him to express his creativity in new ways and help actors reveal their inner selves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
