XXX-MEN Hollywood A-lister includes X-rated chant by Glasgow music fans in new movie
JAMES McAvoy has revealed he has included an X-rated chant by 2,000 music fans in his debut movie as a director.
The X-Men star told of his pride in the Glasgow crowd who shouted 'Here we, here we, here we f* go!' during a gig scene at the city's famous Barrowland venue.

McAvoy, 46, has been shooting the true story of students Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, who fooled top music bosses into believing they were US rappers.
The California Schemin' director said: 'We basically put on a gig and the guys in the movie performed as if they were doing a gig.
'Glasgow showed up, we didn't pay them, and gave us a real, big movie ending. They gave everything, it was amazing, I felt so proud.'
McAvoy told the Liverpool Comic Con convention: 'There's a thing people in Glasgow do when they go to a gig, they shout, 'Here we, here we, here we f* go!'.
So we have Glasgow in the film doing that.'
Bain and Boyd, played by Séamus McLean Ross and Samuel Bottomley, reinvented themselves as hip-hop act Silibil N' Brains after being mocked for their Scottish accents at a US audition.
They then landed a record deal, appeared on MTV and supported Eminem.
