James McAvoy, wannabe Matt Damon

James McAvoy confesses he’d like to be the Sexiest Man Alive.

“I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man’s action franchise like Bourne,” the Atonement star, currently costarring with Angelina Jolie in Wanted, says in the August cover story of Details. 

The Scotsman is 29 and he confesse to have had a pretty quiet lifestyle throughout his 20s. Instead of partying, in 2006 McAvoy settled down with actress Anne-Marie Duff, who is eight years his senior. But don’t expect him to dish on his wife or even his sister, says the interview.

“All of my friends got so drunk they couldn’t even walk, let alone dance, and you just stand there going, ‘So what am I going to do?’ ”

“If anybody wants to talk about their own family, fine,” McAvoy says. “It’s not that I think it’s wrong – it’s just that I think it’s dangerous.”

Moreover, the actor expresses his concern about the women in this industry. The pressure is to high and everything is disrespectful in his opinion.
