James McAvoy: Sexy and humble

Wnxclusivesmall_5 People may have hot photos of the Sexiest Men alive, but USA WEEKEND has the inside scoop on a few of them. Our TV editor, Michele Hatty, interviewed Patrick Dempsey, and Who's News reporter Jon Tollestrup recently talked to James McAvoy (who you can see below in the trailer for his upcoming movie, Wanted). Michele will dish on McDreamy later today, and here's what Jon has to say about talking to the sexy Scotsman:

"I have to say, with a staunch record of heterosexuality, that I'm not at all surprised James made the cut of this year's sexiest men. I mean, apart from being good-looking, he’s just simply a classy, humble guy. Plus, the Scottish accent is pretty cool. When it came time to do the interview, I tried calling his number in London several  times, but couldn’t get anything but a random recording of an Indian woman saying I had insufficient funds for this call. I frantically dialed the telephone company to try and get the call through, but it took nearly an hour before things were solved. But James was as polite and gracious as if I had called on time. This might not seem like a big deal, but trust me, most regular people, let alone a celebrity, wouldn’t have been so patient and accommodating. For a celebrity to wait an hour for a small-time writer to call can be like a normal person waiting 10 hours for the pizza delivery boy to show up."

Can you tell us if THE UNIT will return and when. Why do good programs get lost? Thanks.
