Narnia
[edit]it could be noted that he had to wear a prosetic nose in narnia, although this may be a bit superfluous.

IRISH ORIGINS
[edit]McAvoy is as Irish as a shamrock. If he's responsible for having himself removed from the category that denotes his ethnic origins then that would not be any great surprise -- he owes his level of fame in the USA to the pretension of being Scottish. Here are the facts, lest you be in any doubt -- his surname is exclusively Irish, he's a Roman Catholic, he supports the Irish football club Celtic FC, and he married an Irish woman (though predictably they're now divorced). He's even played an Irishman in an Irish-produced film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:B316:6301:B49A:B23E:735B:3AC2 (talk) 19:23, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
41st highest grossing film of all-time worldwide
[edit]So the claim (making it the 41st highest-grossing film of all-time worldwide
) was removed with this edit, and while sadly BOM doesn't provide a "highest rank" field, you can see from our own article here that it was in fact the 14th highest at its peak. Technically, this archive.org link shows the statement as true at that time as well. I don't think the claim is controversial enough to require much more sourcing than that. Thoughts? —Locke Cole • t • c 03:23, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
