James McAvoy has recently made shocking revelation about Hollywood prejudice against Scottish actors.
The X-Men: First Class actor, born in Glasgow, revealed his experience because of his Scottish background.
“Bias is that thing that stops you being regarded as a person and makes you something smaller,” said the 46-year-old in a new interview with The Guardian.
Atonement actor shared that with his accent, he has had experience where he has “no longer a person with infinite possibilities and potential”.
“I am ‘that Scottish person’. I’m reduced to a noise that comes out of my mouth,” stated James, who directed the new musical drama, California Schemin’.
However, the Wanted actor pointed out that he “had suffered much worse” from Hollywood bias in the wake of his success.
“I’m a white northern European male, so I’m aware that me going on about bias and prejudice is potentially quite treacherous territory, because there are people who’ve suffered much worse,” mentioned James.
The Glass actor remarked, “Also, I’m quite successful, so what have I got to complain about?”
Meanwhile, James added that he had played “four or five Scottish people in my entire 30-year career”.
