James McAvoy films Filth in Edinburgh

SCOTTISH actor James McAvoy was in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket yesterday to shoot a scene for the forthcoming film Filth, adapted from the novel by Irvine Welsh. Onlookers watched as a bearded McAvoy acted out a scene with a young boy at a cash machine.

The scene showed McAvoy taking a balloon from the boy who then retaliated, by kicking him in the leg. Between takes the star chatted with fans and signed autographs.
