James McAvoy is celebrating his 45th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class, Wanted, The Last King of Scotland, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 45th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

McAvoy, a cultural icon
