Patrick Stewart Still Hasn't Seen X-Men: First Class; Issues A Warning To James McAvoy!
The actor, who portrayed Professor Xavier in the original trilogy of X-Men movies, says that he's STILL not see the mutant prequel, reveals why that is, and has a dire warning for James McAvoy...
"I haven’t seen it," Stewart told MTV News during a recent interview. "I haven’t been to the movies in over nine months. Believe me, and no one will believe this, especially I think James [McAvoy], there’s nothing personal about this. This is because I’ve been in the theater working all the time. I’m not able to see movies."
"[I’m] unlike my dear friend Bill Shatner, who always made a point of saying he had never seen ['Star Trek:] The Next Generation, you know like, ‘why would I waste my time?’" he laughed. However, the actor added that "the word on it is ‘terrific,’", and "I have a significant break coming up, and I shall get myself down to the cinema. I’m looking forward to it."
He also commented on what it was like to be replaced, and what exactly James McAvoy has to look forward to: "Well look at whose shoes they’re stepping in! A little bit of spade work might have been done in advance. I just get great fun saying to James, ‘you know, you’re gonna lose all that lovely hair at some point'. It’s all gonna go."
