The Daily Record had the opportunity to speak with the star of the upcoming film
X-Men:First Class recently about his career and family. Once again, it was inevitable that questions arise concerning
First Class.
On what attracted him to portray Xavier in X-Men:First Class...
"Fun and money. Those are two very valid reasons I'd say. Also, I was a fan of the cartoon when I was a kid, and a fan of the original X-Men movies.
"The first and second were fantastic, so it was a really good opportunity and, I'm also a fan of Patrick Stewart from Star Trek and everything else, so to get to play the young version of him in X-Men was quite exciting as well, I have to say.
"But also, to have the opportunity to redefine it, and change everything and change the character and make him a very different person was great.
"He's at a much younger stage in his life, so he's clearly going to be a very different man."
