James McAvoy is promoting his directorial debut at the 2025 Rome Film Festival!
The 46-year-old held hands with wife Lisa Liberati at the premiere of his movie California Schemin’ on Monday (October 20) held at Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome, Italy.
Also in attendance at the premiere was the movie’s star Séamus McLean Ross.
The day before, James and Séamus attended the photo call for the movie.
Here’s the synopsis: “Inspired by the real-life saga of Scottish rap duo Silibil N’ Brains, a.k.a. Gavin Bain (Séamus McLean Ross) and Billy Boyd (Samuel Bottomley), the film follows the unexpected journey of two lifelong friends from Dundee who dream of hip-hop superstardom. There’s just one problem: nobody takes two white guys with thick regional accents seriously in the UK’s early 2000s rap scene, especially not the London gatekeepers who laugh them out of an audition.”
Along with directing the movie, James also plays a record exec in it.
James‘ appearance at the film festival comes after he got punched by a random stranger while at a TIFF party last month. Find out what happened.
