James McAvoy

No shit, I am one lucky bitch! I took this photo of James McAvoy eating lunch with his wife, Anne-Marie Duff, and a friend on Santa Monica Pier, the day after the Oscars. It's kizmet, folks. After all, I could have run into Chuck Norris or Steven Segal, for God's sake... Wait a minute, I DID actually see Steven Segal the day before on Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica! No joke.

I did not bother McAvoy as he walked by me minutes earlier, but I did take covert photos. If you know me, you know how much I adore this guy. He and Larry David are the two people I dreamed of running into... and look: one down, one to go! Totally unreal that I was in the right place at the right time. I could have missed him by a minute if I hadn't decided to turn around and head back down the pier at that moment.

I am proud of myself for letting him be because I imagine that's what I'd want if I were that famous and were out to lunch with loved ones on a lazy afternoon.

I saw him, I photographed him and I am still on cloud nine! Thank you, James & Anne-Marie!
