James McAvoy's Awkward Encounter with Jennifer Aniston: A Starstruck Moment

James McAvoy recently shared his awkward encounter with his celebrity crush, Jennifer Aniston.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live!, McAvoy revealed that he met Aniston years ago at a party.

However, the meeting didn't go as smoothly as he had hoped.

McAvoy explained that he was introduced to Aniston by Lucy Liu, but Liu was quickly pulled away by an old friend.

Left alone with Aniston and her friends, McAvoy blurted out, So you're Jennifer Aniston, and you're in 'Friends.'

McAvoy admitted that the comment was rough, but Aniston remained gracious.

In a separate interview, McAvoy also revealed that he almost played Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter films.

He auditioned for the role early in his career, but his agent advised him against accepting the offer.

Instead, McAvoy chose to do a play, despite the lower pay.

He believes that the experience helped him grow as an actor.
