There was a particular moment where he changed from one to the other with no cuts and with no dialogue, and you could just tell. It was an incredibly impressive performance all around.
+NTV50 I was upset that James wasn't even mentioned at all, during the Oscar nominee selections. Most award shows don't seem to know much about what they're doing though, so 😜, on them.😗
I think his accent was stronger before. I really hope he doesn't end up losing it altogether. It is one of his most attractive features, after his talent (that goes without saying) and his sexi attitude.
Kat Kattington many British actors have lost their regional accents I. e charlie hunnam and Christian Bale... James has lived in London for 11 years+ his scottish accent has gotten a lot softer, he's even commented on it himself
His performance was the best thing about the movie. He did it so well, playing each character very convincingly. He seamlessly switched between them as well.
in chronicles of narnia he played a small role- half goat The Last King of Scotland 2006 launched his carrier becoming jane,wanted,starter for 10,penelope kept is carrier going filth,disapperance of eleanor rigby trilogy were great additons rom war epic "atonement 2007" breaking rle in his carrier.. professor X in x men catapulated his carrier got him lot of fans,international recognition...!!! split anther break out role...!!!!
Him not getting atleast an Oscar nomination for it was nonsense. I'm not just saying cause "oh it's so difficult to pull it off, it's so cool blah blah". Dude literally took on one of the most difficult acting jobs in history, not only did the risk pay off, he even gave the performance of the lifetime. I was expecting to see some of the persons acted in a cringe fashion, but I was blown away every single time. The subtle changes from persona to persona were mesmerizing. He was simply incredible in this.
+Danielle Duvall You have to at least appreciate the great acting of Cameron Monaghan, in 'Shamless'. He plays Ian, in our American version of the show. His acting skills are excellent. Him and James are my two most admired actors, for their skills.☺
+Melinoe Rose Yup.☺ Deserves an emmy nod for 'Jerome'. Deserves one for 'Shamless' too, by now.😗 Cameron's acting skills are insane. Especially when people, fans beg you to come back to play a role like in 'Gotham', even after your character died.😶
this is the first time I'm hearing him speak after doing a marathon of his movies and I'm shocked by the accent wow how can he seamlessly change his accent this man is so good
Swear as much as I don't see scottish actors they always pull of characters, alot of talented actors actresses out there but the scottish ones seem to be top teir
This movie affected me on so many levels! When he became the original person and asked for her to kill him I was so upset. Maybe the nurse in me felt empathy for the abused person! Awesome movie by M. Knight Shyamalan!
Definitely one of the best actors working today. Always a treat to see him on screen. Look forward to his next projects. May I just say he is quite handsome to boot.
I have always loved James McAvoy but I love him more now. This man is so amazingly talented. I agree with those who said he should win an award. I love the movie and I especially loved him!!!!!!
The creepy way that he transitioned from one identity to another was so seamless and scary I had to watch it 4 times until I completely watched the whole movie
It's cool that he's so respectful of the disorder, it means a lot personally when people are, especially since I know someone who has DID and they're very close to my heart.
McAvoy deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Kevin Wendell Crumb's various personalities in Split! This movie is remarkable in it's concept and delivery. I don't see why people need to have it explained, because if you pay attention, it all comes together. I've never seen Unbreakable, nor M. Knight's other productions, but I'm certainly interested if he is making a trilogy. I'm now a huge fan of Mr. McAvoy! He pulls off the truest American accents incredibly. I never knew he was Scottish until I watched an interview!
Just saw this movie Saturday and let me tell you it was one of the best. It was so well played and just amazing in general!! It is very emotional as well. I would definitely give it a 5 star rating.
I’m glad he cares more about representation than the creators ever did. I hope they do come out with movie with system superheroes, comedies, romance, etc and we would be happy to see him play some more roles as alters.
It is so important to make people understand that DID or any other mental disorder doesn’t make you a monster or dangerous. Can’t wait for some good representation!
He’s such an underrated actor. Split showed me how brilliant he truly is. Also, I’ve had such a crush on him since my early teens. That accent. Ugh. Serious heart eyes
HeWhoChills I watched Split the other day and he was indeed incredible! I started watching Filth last night but haven't finished yet. He's def great in that too! 👍😃
I totally agree I remember a friend recommending the movie filth to me I couldn't believe it was the same guy from the movie Wanted hell of a performance. You'll enjoy Split as well the man is destined to get an Academy award.
Hipotenuza Bruce Robertson is an amazing character in Filth. It's probably James McAvoy's best performance to date in my humble opinion. The writer did an exceptional job and James McAvoy was brilliant in bringing the character to life.
When I watched the movie I immediately was like “This actor should be paid well because of all the different things he has to do to switch “personalities”” and I told myself that he is my favorite actor and should be commended for his acting skills
he's so amazing. it had to have been challenging to act as different characters all with completely different personalities, but he pulled it off so well.
If he wanted to talk to someone with DID and who is very open about it, he should have spoken to Jess and her Alters from MultiplicityandMe. I think they would have had a very interesting conversation.
mcavoy is such an amazing actor I thought he was great in narnia and x-men but when I saw his outstanding work in split I had a new respect for this absolutely talented actor I think split is one of m nights best not better than unbreakable but better than signs and I think a big reason for it (but not the only reason) was mcavoy if you haven't seen this movie you have to see if not for the movie itself then go see it to see an amazing performance from mcavoy and the ending
After I watched Split, I immediately came to TH-cam to look for an interview because I needed to see HOWWWW James played these parts so well!! & I had no idea he had this accent wow 😍 but I was really impressed by how well he acted in this movie. I was absolutely blown away. I've seen the movie 5 times & each time I watch, I notice new details & understand the characters a bit more. Absolutely brilliant.
I finally watched "Split". James McAvoy has long been my favourite young actor and, once again, he did not disappoint. It was amazing to watch him morph into the different personalities. I am in awe of his talent...
I have dissociative identity disorder. Despite how offensive this movie can be at times, I will say that the portrayal of Hedwig as a child alter is shockingly accurate.
The way he switched between the personalities when necessary was amazing. He is completely amazing.
There was a particular moment where he changed from one to the other with no cuts and with no dialogue, and you could just tell. It was an incredibly impressive performance all around.
I’m still mad they didn’t give him the Oscar like that performance, JESUS 😬😬
Etcetera
Yes🎉
I always forget he's Scottish. He always pulls off any accent he does very well, especially his British and American accents.
Jenna Denjern I dont know why but I read this comment with a Scottish accent.
Antonio black lol
Jenna Denjern Scottish is British
Troye Sivan you're joking right?
Karl T I meant to say Scotland is in Britain for them to say that he has a good Scottish and a good British accent is like ??
honestly he needs an Oscar for his performance. he was incredible
Neo yes! Watched it the other night on fox movies i guess. And it was amazing.
Neo I know.the look on his face when he puts his face between the iron bar and bends them is unforgettable.
Did he win one yet ??
no he dosent bechus he dont need one Oscar is ONE BIG JOKE so nah he dont need one Oscar is a joke these days so dosent matter annymore
Yes, I agree word for word, absolutely amazing acting......
Was so disappointed that the final personality wasn't Charles Xavier.
AWDTH1111 That would've been a funny twist
lmao
AWDTH1111 hahahahahhahahahaha same
yeah hahaha it wasn't professor x. It was hulk but without the green colored skin
lol
Two things from this video made me want to see this.
"...I just ate a hotdog" and ".....etcetera!"
Nathan Wood Hedwig was definitely my favorite of the main three personalities he took on. I say go see it just because James did a fantastic job.
Nathan Wood he says "etc" quite a few times lol
Nathan Wood I seen it the other night. It was great
The "et cetera" parts were so good... The writer really knew how to balance the mood with comedy, the whole theater would laugh when it comes on
Yeah we were laughing. There was a good mix of suspense and comedy. Those are my fav types of horrors/thrillers.
Most underrated actor of our generation, hes been deserving of an Oscar for a long time already, his Professor X is perfect.
Ikr
Israel P d
@@Townsandtaleshistory it really is btw
Stop being so talent, etcetera.
lol..after all james mcavoy is shwed cased evil side of professor X in split..
Awww I miss Hedwig
Kingston g
😂😂
Ha! I snorted at my desk when I read this. You win.
Just came back from watching the movie, oscar worthy performance by James
ArmaniX24 I agree
ArmaniX24 I agree! I said the same thing. It was incredible
I don't think the Academy is ready to forgive Night lol & it's like they don't care about James, it sucks
+NTV50 I was upset that James wasn't even mentioned at all, during the Oscar nominee selections. Most award shows don't seem to know much about what they're doing though, so 😜, on them.😗
Lola Jaramillo the film came out too late for consideration.
This guy is incredible
+delicious
Thank you for your service
You're right about that :p
I really want to see it still, but I love his quality of acting, I'm sure it's a treat to see.
Thank you for the support. :)
I'm a simple child, I see McAvoy and I click.
Same, I see anything with his face on it and I'm immediately sold.
Doctor! Since when do timelords watch TV?
Tatiana Camilus same here ☺
Tatiana Camilus omg same here
Carolyn Christina Me too 😂
He was INCREDIBLE in the film! I was blown away! He's such a gifted actor.
he was the only reason that makes me watch the movie till the end .
is James getting hotter or what!!! Damn!!
Mary007 definitely is
was always hot
Nicole O. He's divorced now
+Retro Bit Baby RBB Aww.😕 Hope it wasn't over something too bad.
Me either. They are supposedly still live under one roof for the sake of raising their son together. Trying to keep the peace for him.
such a talented actor!
Wanted is one of my favourite movie
Jalen Lionheart i cant
rochion couldn't agree more. he deserves a an oscar!
rochion
yup
He is so good looking this guy can carry any look from bald to hairy.
PURE RED CELT FROM THE NORTH CAUCASUS
James is hands down my favorite actor in the world right now.
Idespise myjob mine after Daniel Craig
I think his accent was stronger before. I really hope he doesn't end up losing it altogether. It is one of his most attractive features, after his talent (that goes without saying) and his sexi attitude.
Andrew SnG That accent is never leaving. People only lose their accent if they're under 10 years old and move to another country.
OK, ok. My comment was just a form of flattery...noted he's not losing his accent
Kat Kattington many British actors have lost their regional accents I. e charlie hunnam and Christian Bale... James has lived in London for 11 years+ his scottish accent has gotten a lot softer, he's even commented on it himself
Gary Oldman said he lost his too, & had to get a voice coach to help him get it back.
sue watson Christian just uses an American accent for American interviewers to make it easier on them.
I think I'm pregnant now
DId Hedwig kiss you?
barbaro267 hahahaha good one
barbaro267 omg crying good one
Quiegle Same.
barbaro267 LMAO😂😂
He doesn't get enough credit for that role. He did such an amazing job and made it very believable.
It's a pity that he'll probably go through most of his career known as young Charles Xavier, really.
James McAvoy can literally carry every movie he's in. He'd better get a reward.
James is an amazing actor, Split wouldn't have been as good as I thought without him.
the director wanted him he just knew he had found the right guy!
Amazing performance ❤
this man is so fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
His performance was the best thing about the movie. He did it so well, playing each character very convincingly. He seamlessly switched between them as well.
He was good in x-men, but this performance put him on the map.
in chronicles of narnia he played a small role- half goat
The Last King of Scotland 2006 launched his carrier
becoming jane,wanted,starter for 10,penelope kept is carrier going
filth,disapperance of eleanor rigby trilogy were great additons
rom war epic "atonement 2007" breaking rle in his carrier..
professor X in x men catapulated his carrier got him lot of fans,international recognition...!!!
split anther break out role...!!!!
"i just ate a hotdog"
wolf pre Etcetera...
'I have red socks'
wolf pre fb
"I have blue shoks too"
Am i the only one who thinks James Mcavoy is really hot?
Kennedy Sanders No.
Okay thanks for a second i thought i was alone 😂
Ken Jen James McAvoy as always been hot!
No 😂❤️
Nooooooo!
Hedwig was so funny,etcetera!
That accent tho 👌🏼
If he doesn't win any award for Split I'm gonna blow a hole in my head. Amazing actor who deserves to be in more movies than he already is.
He's such an OUTSTANDING actor, loved this movie. He brought the characters to life.
this guy is really talented because its hard to play with 2 personalities already and he played 24, this guy is a legend
he's like one of the only big actors that really notice TH-cam and he knows the term "vlog" omg i love him sm

Lord have mercy he is so handsome and so damn talented
I've loved him since Narnia 😊
Narnia and Penelope, for me!
Wimbledon for me

Tianna Perry He's hot too😍😍
just saw this movie he did an amazing job
the way he just went back and forth between those personalities was crazy!
This movie affected me on so many levels! When he became the original person and asked for her to kill him I was so upset. Maybe the nurse in me felt empathy for the abused person! Awesome movie by M. Knight Shyamalan!
I love his accent
Us Scots have such a beautiful accent not trying to brag but like oop
Definitely one of the best actors working today. Always a treat to see him on screen. Look forward to his next projects. May I just say he is quite handsome to boot.
I watched Split. Give the man an Oscar! What an incredible talent!!
Please do NOT send me links to the movie online.
HAHAHA
I feel mesmerized by his beauty. He's gorgeous. I love James Mcavoy
this dudes a beast
William Schaeffer Literally? ;)
That moment when your comment makes more sense when you've seen the film haha
William Schaeffer is that a pun
i see what you did there
You naughty little devil you 😆😆😆😆
He did a fantastic job and he carried this movie all the way. This was a great movie.
I saw this movie in theatre a couple of days ago. I was amazed at his amazing acting! Such an amazing actor. Deserving of an Oscar!
"kind of a kinky nun, i think"
JAMES MCAVOY IS MY FAVORITE
He was such a good actor! I liked this movie a lot. One of my favorite parts was seeing his other personalities in the files on his computer!
The way he carries himself between characters, is just absolutely amazing. The story is epic as well!
This guy is an absolute amazing actor. So talented.
Glad to know that this dude look less psychotic with hair
Hahaha...
he needs an oscar... etc.
PROPOSAL: James McAvoy and Tatiana Maslany chatting about playing so many characters.
IamDMP I support this
IamDMP YASSSSS
I love them both
YES
So crazy that I’m seeing this after Tatiana was casted as She-Hulk in the MCU & how they’re both now Marvel characters
This movie was so amazingly done and his acting was so great that if he doesn't receive an award I'll be highly disappointed
He should have got 24 Oscars for that movie
And that lights switching scene from GLASS is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would marry this man in a heart beat
I have always loved James McAvoy but I love him more now. This man is so amazingly talented. I agree with those who said he should win an award. I love the movie and I especially loved him!!!!!!

I've loved James McAvoy for the longest time but this movie was for me his best role. He is just amazing.
he did such a good job! it was funny when he was Hedwig but the fact he played so many and in a second is pretty amazing.

He's so attractive.

anne definitely research what DID is actually like please
He nailed that part... excellent acting.
he was literally amazing no one else probably coulda played it better
Hedwick was the funniest and best role he did good !!
Gettin chicks pregnant left and right, etcetera

He's an AMAZING actor. I swear watching the movie I was amazed!!!
This guy is amazing. If you haven't seen this, you're missing out. His performance is the greatest I've seen in any genre in years.
James McAvoy was amazing in Filth, so I'm sure he will put on a top notch performance in Split.
HeWhoChills I watched Split the other day and he was indeed incredible! I started watching Filth last night but haven't finished yet. He's def great in that too! 👍😃
Michelle Pereira You got me really excited to see the film. 😊Hopefully, I can watch it on my day off. Did you finish Filth? If so, how'd you like it?
I totally agree I remember a friend recommending the movie filth to me I couldn't believe it was the same guy from the movie Wanted hell of a performance. You'll enjoy Split as well the man is destined to get an Academy award.
HeWhoChills he was really amazing in "Filth",so i expected too much of him in "Split". After watching it,i'll say Bruce is still number 1 .
Hipotenuza Bruce Robertson is an amazing character in Filth. It's probably James McAvoy's best performance to date in my humble opinion. The writer did an exceptional job and James McAvoy was brilliant in bringing the character to life.
his face when he said "he took on 23 of them" as if to say, "well i actually don't play 23...just a few" 😂😂
What a badass haha he's a great actor
When I watched the movie I immediately was like “This actor should be paid well because of all the different things he has to do to switch “personalities”” and I told myself that he is my favorite actor and should be commended for his acting skills
He's so intense looking it's beautiful
he's so amazing. it had to have been challenging to act as different characters all with completely different personalities, but he pulled it off so well.
If he wanted to talk to someone with DID and who is very open about it, he should have spoken to Jess and her Alters from MultiplicityandMe. I think they would have had a very interesting conversation.
Lain Oh I would've suggested DissociaDID as well as she does have 23 personalities I believe, although not all of them come out.
ShookLikeJungkook oOoOOOOhhhhHhhHh an army is here :3
Never heard about him before . After watching Split , I have mad respect for him now , he absolutely nailed that role(-s)

Im still year in 2023 thinking hes the best absolutely amazing proformance. Etcetera.
Very talented actor
I cannot imagine another actor to play this role... He's just too good
So charming
A single month to prepare??? And he was this amazing? Wow. I knew James was great but WOW.
Just watched this movie today !!!! Loved it and loved his acting !!
ugghh chills.. James Mcavoy is my new nightmare like I get frightened of him after I watched the movie
But ugghh I love him
I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD AN ACCENT HE IS SOOOO MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE (I thought he was with his beard and his hair but when he started talking 👌)
I love how he said he's just doing his job but 9 times instead of 1. Brilliant answer
James Mcavoy is an amazing and really talented actor. He played 23 characters for God's sake, including the beast.❤❤❤😍😍😍
Wow Kevin is playing this 'James McAvoy' personality really well
Is it just me or does James Mcavoy remind me of Finn Balor
ModificationsAJ Kinda. But Finn is Irish so the accent is not the same.
I finally watched "Split". James McAvoy has long been my favourite young actor and, once again, he did not disappoint. It was amazing to watch him morph into the different personalities. I am in awe of his talent...
Give this man Oscar
I have dissociative identity disorder. Despite how offensive this movie can be at times, I will say that the portrayal of Hedwig as a child alter is shockingly accurate.
