James McAvoy & Wife Hit Venice
Fresh-faced Scottish actor James McAvoy and British actress wife Anne-Marie Duff rub noses during the opening ceremony and the Atonement Premiere of the 64th Annual Venice Film Festival on Wednesday in Venice, Italy.
Duff is nine years McAvoy’s senior — Duff is 37, McAvoy is 28. The couple met while filming Shameless, an offbeat British comedy drama television series. James and Anne-Marie celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary this October.

i don’t appreciate that. you know you all didn’t sleep with me or my wife!
anne marie has got short hair cos shes playing joan of arc in a play
Hmm. I really think both are great actors. But to be honest..she looks like his mother..all the best to them, important thing is that they are in love.
both are gorgeous. i wouldn’t kick either out of bed for eating crackers…wonder if they’re kinky like that??
yea! i love him! hes a really good actor:)
Oh Lordy, I love me some Anne-Marie. Massive girl-crush.
I went to see her in Saint Joan at the National Theatre on August 2nd, and almost fell off my seat when I saw Mr. Duff himself sitting across the aisle from us. I consider it one of my greatest achievements that I didn’t immediately start giggling uncontrollably, although it was a very close thing. Deep breaths.
Anne-Marie, for those who don’t know her work, is a breathtakingly good actress. Chillingly good. Electrically good. She may not be as glamorous as Keira Knightley (who I also think is terrific - you just want to buy her a pint, don’t you?), but if you’ve ever had the priviledge of seeing Anne-Marie, there’s no question that McAvoy is a very, very lucky boy indeed. And he knows it. His eyes were on his wife every single second of her performance, absolutely mesmerised, and when she came out for her bow, he leapt from his seat to be the first to give her a standing ovation. It was an incredibly tender moment.
I wanted to pinch them both on the cheek and wish them well. But I resisted. With difficulty.
James McAvoy and Anne Hathaway really looked good together in Becoming Jane.
I wonder if they would end up together if both are not involved.
I have never known McAvoy until Becoming Jane.
Little did I know that he played Mr. Tumnus and had a supporting role in The Last King of Scotland. He was remarkable as Nicholas Garrigan! I am pretty sure he will soon get an Oscar.
i hear they are in line to play a real life couple in a scottish movie that just got picked up. at least the producers are hoping that they, james and anne, will take the parts. Could be very exciting.
Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves - Anne Marie being nine years older than James is NOT newsworthy - how different the attitude if the other way around eh? And yes, James is gorgeous and sexy and all that, but to call her old and ugly, just because of a bit of jealousy or envy, when lets face it YOU don’t have a chance in hell - get real.. That poor woman is maligned for it, when she to is a great actress, when they both met on a critically acclaimed show and both have gone on to do high profile work. How must she feel to only be considered as worthwhile because she was lucky enough to end up with James? Like someone else said, if you think so much of him, do you really think he would be interested in anyone other than his equal, with qualities of her own? SHAME ON YOU! GROW UP
James is absolutely perfect! Very smart, passionate, sexy, funny, charming… I just adore him. I hope he is very happy with his wife although I will not lie to you people. I would love Anne Hathaway and him to be together, but I guess only because I never saw his wife. I loved “Becoming Jane” and I guess I would like the story to continue but, welcome to real world.. :)
Anyway, like I said I hope he is very happy and wish him luck in life.
he is buffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is ugly!!!!!!!!!!
it shud be me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love from stalker
Some of you folks have made very meanspirited remarks concerning Anne Marie Duff. Apparently James thinks she is awesome and believes she is going to be a great life partner or he wouldn’at have married her. And I, too, wonder what the value was in mentioning that she is nine years older than e. Who cares? If he were older than she not one word would have been printed. I think it is time for people to start taking a look at why they make meanspirited remarks. Isn’t there enough “nasty” in the world?
This man rocks!He must have great passion in his real life relationship to be that great on screen.
im sorry yes he may like her but he is just too good for her, she is pretty but not hot enough for him, his upcoming film penelope looks good and he looks totally fit! was that really james mcavoy who really sent that message
im so jealous of his wife!!! he is soooo hot especially in his upcoming film penelope. he is such an amazing actor, i never realised he was the guy who played mr tumnus. and i cant wait to see his film with angi joli. was that really james mcavoy who sent that message?
They look BEAUTIFUL together! and and stop jealous of his wife she so BEAUTIFUL and Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
I just recently found out that James McAvoy and I share the same birth day! (Jan.1) Only he’s a year older - anyhow, I remember watching an interview of his on YouTube where he mentions something about that he lives a life that others might find truly boring because he feels like such an old man at his young age (truly enjoys only the simple pleasures in life - reading, hiking) and felt like that even at age 15. And when I heard that, I was like “Yes that’s SO me! I’m 28 but I feel like I’m an old woman stuck in a young woman’s body.” And because of that, nine years ago, I ended up marrying someone 10 years older than me, and so far we’ve been blissfully married (James & Anne are 9yrs apart, right?) Anyhow, because of his “simple” personality, I totally get it about why he was attracted to and chose to marry a much older woman…maybe it has to do with being born on that same particular day?
Anyhow, I’m not quite sure if that really was James Mcavoy on this website who had placed a blog on comment #26. But James, if you’re reading this, I’m not sure if you found my similarities with you in this blog to be coincidential or anything but, as there are many other similiarities I stumbled upon, with what you’ve mentioned on some interviews, that just about freaked me out myself…for all I know, you just might be my long lost twin…- a year apart :)
i love james! he is goegeous. just watched atonement and becoming jane. talented actor, and beautiful eyes!
James I think that you can do better than Anne. Sorry Anne.
He is hot and your not.
OK. It’s like when Anne was 8 and James was a baby . They’d be going out. Eow!
I Think that you should not be writing those kinds of things.
You guys are just jealous i have him and you don’t. So suck on that.
We are not jealous. He is going to dump you for somebody much younger that you, better looking and much more than you will ever be.Ok! that is what i got to say grandma
Anne.
You got to face it.James has worked with beautiful actors such as Kiera Knightley and Anne Hathaway. You are trash . your better of with my grandpa. He’s about your age . maybe one year younger.Not that bad.Call me.
Ok. I’ll try them other apples. If you know what i mean?
I am sexy !
