James McAvoy's Strange Request
James McAvoy shocked Parkinson, and his own gran, with a saucy revelation on his show. The Atonement star revealed a funny moment behind a love scene with Keira Knightley on Parkinson, to be screened Saturday night on ITV1."What was great about Atonement was that the director was very much on the ball with what he wanted, so when you were doing something it was at his behest," said McAvoy. "So much so that at one point he was getting so into it and telling us what to do, as he was off camera he went Alright Keira, wank him off!"Here we are, I am on Parky and my granny has been waiting for this for years and I say that!"James went on to reveal the actors' reaction.According to James, everything went quiet and the crew didnt know what to do so he and Keira just looked at each other, because they were still kissing and sort of went just carry on," he tells host Parky, then about ten seconds later came a very sheepishly sorry about that, McAvoy addsMcAvoy also reveals he hates love scenes, unless he is told what to do, adding that it is always really difficult when the director is a bit uncomfortable and he goes right we've got this sex scene guys and and basically we just want you to make it very real and we want it quite rumbustious, real and energetic so when they call Action, if you are feeling the lady's breast, it's your decision to feel the lady's breast and you feel like this is wrong.
Parkinson is on ITV Sat 22nd September 10 pm
