ENCORE: James McAvoy on California Schemin'

Guys, this is kind of weird. I listen to you guys a lot.

Lizzie Bassett (0:06)

Stop.

Here's what's weird for me. When I was in college, a girl I dated, we saw Atonement together. And I think we both realized we weren't for each other because I fell in love with Karen Knightley, and she fell in love with you.

And we drew like drawings for each other. We were weird artsy kids. And I drew a drawing of you from Atonement for her. It's a very weird time in my life. It's very weird to be talking to you right now.
