James McAvoy halts Macbeth to stop man filming
Actor spotted the man using a camera during his performance in the west end
James McAvoy halted a performance of Macbeth after he spotted a man in the audience filming.
The 'X-Men' star was appearing as the Scottish king in the Shakespeare play in the west end, but brought the production to stand-still to confront the audience member.

After he put the camera away, McAvoy continued his performance.
“The poor fellow looked very embarrassed,” another member of the audience told the Daily Telegraph.
A rep for the Trafalgar Studios said: “James had to ask them to put their camera away and then the performance continued.
"They had a camera or a mobile to their face. It was very visible and was disrupting the performance.”
The production is directed by Jamie Lloyd and sets the action in a dystopian future, where a civil war rages.
It runs until April 27.
McAvoy is by no means the first to bring a theatre performance to a halt because of the behaviour of a member of the audience.
The late Richard Griffiths ordered a man from the auditorium during a performance of 'The History Boys' at the National Theatre after his phone began ringing, and did the same to a woman in the west end during a production of 'Heroes'.
Actor Ken Stott also halted a performance of 'A View from the Bridge' because of noisy school children in 2009.
