James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff’s NYC Stroll

James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff’s NYC Stroll

Out in NYC following Thursday’s Los Angeles premiere of his new movie “Wanted”, James McAvoy and wife Anne-Marie Duff were spotted enjoying a romantic walk around Soho on Saturday (June 21).

Strolling around hand-in-hand, the 29-year-old Scottish actor and his actress wife of two years are currently away from their London home as James takes on the promotional duties for “Wanted” while co-star Angelina Jolie readies for the birth of her baby twins.

In related news, during his visit to the States, McAvoy was asked whether he pays much attention to the movie business and the tabloid buzz.

“I don’t spend a lot of time in L.A. I don’t hang out ‘in the industry’ in London. I don’t read all the newspapers and watch E! Entertainment every day,” James tells.

Nonetheless, McAvoy’s approach seems to be working in his favor, as he goes on to tell: “I do notice that I’m finding it easier to do projects that I like, and that’s a very welcome state of affairs. It’s all been a lovely kind of explosion. And I just hope it continues.”

With his co-star Angelina Jolie occupied with the impending birth of twins, James McAvoy has been working overtime to promote the new film “Wanted.”

James was spotted heading into the Today Show studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City this morning looking ruggedly handsome in a black v-neck t-shirt, dark jeans, and a leather jacket.

McAvoy, along with his wife Anne-Marie Duff have been spending a ton of time in the Big Apple prepping for the big opening of “Wanted” this Friday, June 27th.

And according to press, James is quite the unexpected stud.  “The diminutive McAvoy might have seemed an unexpected choice for this sort of kickass role, but the always inventive thespian proves he’s got a bit of Russell Crowe in him as he brandishes an impressive amount of muscle, grit and anger. He may be one of those rare actors who can do just about anything.”

While his costar Angelina Jolie is busy preparing to give birth to twins, James McAvoy found another beautiful gal to hang with at the Hollywood premiere of his new film Wanted: his wife, Anne-Marie Duff.

The Mann Village Theater in Los Angeles, California was the place to be last night to catch a first glimpse of the new suspense flick.  And McAvoy looked dashing in a black leather jacket overtop a black v-neck with dark jeans and black shoes.

Duff, on the other hand, classed things up a bit in a low-cut grey and gold tank-style belted dress teamed with a pair of strappy grey heels.

James recently told press that he really enjoyed working with Jolie on the film.  “The thing I most appreciated from Angelina was that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. And she kept reminding us that if you can’t have fun when you’re making an action movie, you shouldn’t be doing it.”
