James McAvoy joins Dax Shepard to share stories from his Glasgow childhood, the career gamble of offering to make tea, and how he almost missed out on a role to Dax. They discuss his journey from coonsidering the priesthood to starring opposite Keira Knightley, and his new film about Scottish rappers who faked being American. James reflects on why childhood boredom and hardship can be formative, and why genuine help often means listening rather than fixing.
