James McAvoy's Secret Son, Life Apart from Half-Brother

On April 2nd, James McAvoy dropped a bombshell this week, revealing he has a four-year-old son with his wife Lisa Liberati.

The Scottish star, whose 44 now, said fatherhood had different the second time around, easier at 42 because he worries less.

He already shares a 15-year-old son, Brendan, with ex-wife Ann Marie Duff.

Earlier this week, while promoting his directorial debut, California Schemen, McAvoy casually let it slip during an interview.

Fans had no clue about the little one, born secretly a few years back.

He met Lisa on the set of Split and Philly, married her in 2022, and they split time between London and the States.

The news hits extra hard when you think about his family drama.

McAvoy has always been estranged from his late dad, a former bus driver since he was 12.

Raised by his grandparents in Glasgow's tough drum chapel, after his parents split at seven.

That same dad had a younger son, Donald, McAvoy's half-brother, and the siblings have zero contact.

Meanwhile, Donald's path couldn't be more opposite.

He's locked up in Edinburgh's H&P Soughton, facing a possible life sentence after slashing a fellow inmates face with a hidden blade last October.

With over 40 priors, including stabbing and abductions, he's no stranger to trouble.

Inherited some cash from their dad, but it's not changing his streak.

Tragic how these half-brothers, sharing only a ghost of a father, live worlds apart.

McAvoy thriving in Hollywood, Donald battling demons behind bars.

Unlikely, his new catered Brendan ever crossed paths with that side of the family tree.
