James McAvoy and Wife Anne-Marie Duff are expecting their First Child

Congratulations, Mr. Tumnus!  Actor James McAvoy, the actor that played Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and his wife of four years, Anne-Marie Duff, are expecting their first child!

Dame Helen Mirren, who appears alongside the couple in the movie The Last Station, said she thought the news was “fantastic.”

She added: “It’s wonderful news and it couldn’t happen to a greater couple.

“I’ve known Anne-Marie for a long time, long before I knew James. They’re a great, great couple, both unbelievably talented, both extremely nice and hard-working and professional, so it’s going to be a great baby.”

Duff, who starred in the BBC4 film Margot as prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn, recently spoke about wanting to become a mother.  “I would love to have a baby. I’m not putting it off but unfortunately bodies don’t work that way,” she said.

Thanks, Sara, for pointing this out!
