James McAvoy, the actor who played Mr. Tumnus in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has been nominated for the “Most Stylish Scotsman” award. The award is given to the man “whose truly inspirational personal style is an important factor in their celebrity.” The award is chosen by a panel of judges and presented at an awards ceremony on October 26.
McAvoy is running against fellow actor Kevin McKidd, goalkeeper Craig Gordon, cultural entrepreneur Mutley, and comic book/screenwriter Grant Morrison.
However, McAvoy is the favourite to win the competition. His citation states, “This 28-year-old Scotstoun-born actor exhibits an admirable sense of distinctive yet effortless style in his downtime. Sharply-suited and booted, however, he cuts an especially dashing figure on any red carpet occasion.”
