James McAvoy says he starred in X-Men : First Class because he had no money in the bank “My first child came, and I neither myself nor my wife at the time worked for about six months to a year.
“My first child came, and I neither myself nor my wife at the time worked for about six months to a year. We just stayed at home and looked after him. And I, we weren't like, we weren't penniless. We didn't have any debt, but we had pretty much nothing in the bank…
X-Men came in. I went, "Where's it filming?" They went, "Pinewood, it's 40 minutes from my front door." I was like, "Awesome." And I was also like, "X-Men, great!" I loved the cartoon when I was a kid. That'd be brilliant. I loved the movies that came out in 2000 and Bryan's original movies were brilliant.
But I was like, this is a three-picture deal, they're paying well, it's 40 minutes from my front door, I'm a fan of the original material, I get to be young Jean-Luc Xavier. And I was like, this is a no-brainer.
So my agent called me, she was like, "What do you think?" And I was like, "It's a work of genius, we're doing it!”
