I love when celebrities do The Graham Norton Show because they tell him things they would never ever say on an American talk show.
For example, on Friday the BBC host asked Professor Charles Xavier about borrowing his grandfather’s razor. That is when the actor asked his gramps, who was in the audience, how old he was when he used that razor for the first time. You can tell by his grandad’s face that this story was not going to go well.
Back when McAvoy was a young lad, he started to become a man down there. He was not sure if he wanted that, so he decided to shave. Not his face but around his head. It did not go well. As in he cut himself and got blood all over the bathroom. Being a boy, he did not clean up after himself. Thus when his grandparents saw all that blood, they were worried about their grandson and asked him if he was OK. Therefore, he had to explain what he was doing.
It might have been over 25 years since that incident happened, but his grandparents’ expressions are still the same. Which is what makes this amazing TMI story even more epic.
Just as they were proud of their grandson for all of his accomplishments, he reminds them on international television it was not always that way.
Oh and thankfully, for all, McAvoy has gotten better at shaving. That and he does not use his granddaddy’s razor anymore to do it.
