James has recently denied reports he is to take the lead role in the new movie version of Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit.
“I’m going to not act for a little while and take some space and take some time — and make some ‘me’ time, you know, all that rubbish,” he explained to Radio 1.
“It’s not true,” he said of the The Hobbit rumors. “It’s come off the internet and turned into a story for some reason. There’s not even been a script yet.”
James was also on The Tonight Show yesterday, check that out here.

James McAvoy attends the photocall for the movie Wanted at Adlon Hotel in Berlin, Germany on Tuesday.
Originally, James, 29, was rejected for the lead role of Wesley Gibson in Wanted.
“They wanted someone geeky. I screen-tested for the movie over a year ago and they never gave me the part. Then, it was about seven months later when they went, “Look, we’ve been trying to find someone who’s muscle-y who looks good and all that, but it just didn’t work with someone like that so they said, “Could you come and do it?” They basically just said, “You’re the runt of the litter and that’s what makes it work” so yeah, and that’s why I like it. So while I’m doing all this physical work, it’s important for me to remain small. I’m sure they want me to get all big, but it’s important to remain believably geeky,” he told Comingsoon.net back in February.
