James McAvoy: The Naked Beast

He is currently appearing in super-buff form in ‘Glass,’ M. Night Shyamalan’s final installment of the tenuous trilogy that began many years in ‘Unbreakable.’ In the second film, ‘Split,’ James McAvoy turned in a stupendous multiple-personality performance that was utterly riveting. There is one insane slow close-up in which you can register his transformation from one personality to the next in terrifying detail. He’s possibly even better in ‘Glass,’ even if the movie doesn’t quite rise to that level of perfection. This time around he convincingly shifts characters in strikingly swift fashion, but with a certain masterful cock of the head or a specific glint in the eye, you always know exactly who “has the light.” Of course, this post isn’t just to honor McAvoy’s acting talents, it’s to give superficial praise and notice to his body. He’s already been a Hunk of the Day here – this is a holder until he officially wins a second go-round at it, and he’s only one nude scene away from that.
