Professor X actor James McAvoy burned Oblivion disc
James McAvoy and the world of video games
Most people probably know James McAvoy as the young Professor X from the X-Men films, as Bill Denbrough in Es 2 or from M. Night Shyamalan's Split and Glass. In view of his own story, it is hardly surprising that the multi-faceted actor was so enthusiastic about Oblivion.Recommended editorial content Here you will find external content from [PLATTFORM].

As McAvoy reveals in an interview with Forbes about Twelve Minutes, where he also plays a big role, he has loved fantasy role-playing games since childhood: "My partner at the time bought me an Xbox 360 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That was the kind of game I loved as a kid: RPG, Zelda, Secret of Mana, all that kind of thing. I love fantasy RPG. "
Unfortunately, at one point his passion was so great that it began to interfere with McAvoy in his job. While filming Becoming Jane, he also indulged in the joys of Oblivion: "So I'm in Dublin. I have to go to bed at around 10 o'clock because I have to get up at 6 in the morning and I have to learn countless sentences. And me Just stay up until 4am and play Oblivion. And I figured this game would send me to ruin. "
The actor no longer wanted to be a scourge of his passion and made a drastic decision: "I went to bed at 5:35 am. My car honked outside at 5:45 am and I was like, Oh my God "I have to do something. So I got up and took the disc out of the Xbox 360 and turned on the gas. I just put the disc on it and watched it start to char and melt. And I thought, yes, we are." ready here, it's over, never again! "
McAvoy's gaming drought and his return
While it is never entirely true, as Forbes reports, the actor actually took a long break from video games. Three years ago, his son made him rediscover his love for video games with FIFA. Especially the social aspect brought McAvoy back into gaming and today he prefers to play a few rounds of Call of Duty: Warzone with his friends.Read also 0

Even though McAvoy has now returned to video games, he seems to enjoy his hobby in moderation. But you shouldn't tell him about the recently announced anniversary edition of Skyrim. Who knows whether his next film will be made.
