The Scottish actor portrays Paddy in the English language adaptation of the 2022 Danish psychological horror
James McAvoy has drawn parallels between his character in the forthcoming film Speak No Evil and Andrew Tate. The 45-year-old actor portrays the ominous Paddy in the English-language adaptation of the 2022 Danish psychological horror film.
"He's like, 'I'm going to teach you what it's like to be a man again.' But there's a sort of polite face on it that isn't quite Andrew Tate, enough of a sheen of, 'I'm not one of those guys'." The X-Men: First Class actor reportedly combined a misogynistic perspective with the Australian slang term 'Bogan' - signifying an unsophisticated individual, which James said can be "associated with a certain level of toxic masculinity" - and Mark Rylance 's character Rooster from the play Jerusalem, who was a societal outcast.
James, who shares the screen with Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis and Aisling Franciosi in the forthcoming film, had to bulk up significantly for his role as Paddy. Despite this, he likened his character's laid-back attitude to that of Ray Winstone's character Gary 'Gal' Dove in the 2001 crime film Sexy Beast.
