Watch: James McAvoy left red-faced after funny X-Men interview gaffe

James McAvoy is normally a cool, collected customer in person, but an unexpected gaffe during our exclusive ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ interview left the actor in tizz, forcing him to apologise to the film crew capturing the Q&A.

Watch the hilarious video above.

McAvoy was talking with his ‘X-Men’ co-stars Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender in our exclusive video, when a mis-placed cue card, flung by the Scot, hits one of the camera operators.

It’s a shot that would would make Gambit the card-flinging X-Men member proud.

The poor camera operator looks more comfortable behind the camera than in front, but at least she got a hug from a Hollywood superstar for her troubles. 

This outtake is from a longer video that will be hitting Yahoo later this week, so keep your eyes peeled.
