The ‘X-Men: First Class’ actor, who spends most of his time in London, explained that he rarely gets approached when he is out. He told a magazine, “People have been asking me about fame since I did ‘Narnia’.

It never seemed to happen. I’ve been recognised on the streets maybe about ten times since then. It never really worries me, that stuff. I’m standing outside school gates going, ‘Recognise me, recognise me, please!’ (sic)”

McAvoy’s co-star Michael Fassbender, who plays Magneto in the movie, said that he also receives minimal attention, but added that were he to become a more recognisable face, there would not be much he could do about it. ‘X-Men: First Class’ hits Indian theatres on June 10 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
