James McAvoy Says Meeting Celebrity Crush Jennifer Aniston 'Wasn’t Great’

McAvoy reveals disappointing encounter

James McAvoy has revealed he once met his celebrity crush Jennifer Aniston, but the meeting didn't go as well as he had hoped.

The actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he was "so nervous" when he finally met Aniston and that he "couldn't speak".

"I was just like, 'Hi, I'm James. I'm a big fan.' And she was like, 'Hi, I'm Jennifer.' And I was like, 'I know.'"

McAvoy said that Aniston was "very nice" but that he was "so disappointed" by the encounter.

He added: "I built her up in my head to be this perfect person, and she's just a normal person. She's a lovely person, but she's not the person I had built up in my head.

Lessons to be learned

McAvoy's experience is a reminder that it's important to keep our expectations in check when meeting our heroes.

It's also important to remember that celebrities are just people, and they're not always going to live up to our expectations.

It's okay to be disappointed, but it's also important to be grateful for the opportunity to meet them.
