Scottish actor James McAvoy wants to take a break from the big screen.

The actor revealed he needs to catch a break to focus on his family.

McAvoy recently welcomed a son with his wife, Lisa Liberati.

The pair met on the set of "Split" when McAvoy had a lead role while she worked as a production assistant.

The actor admitted to limiting his acting options.

He revealed he had been fine-tuning his options as much as possible so he can stay home in London

McAvoy's passion for "His Dark Materials" comes from his love for writer Phillip Pullman's central message.

He said he has never met or spoken to Pullman.

McAvoy hasn’t worked since filming the penultimate episode for “His Dark Materials” in May.
