She unabashedly stole scenes in Get Him to the Greek and Bridesmaids, and now Rose Byrne romances James McAvoy in X-Men: First Class. Yes, that's right. Byrne's CIA agent Dr. Moira MacTaggert actually gets physical with McAvoy's cerebral – and sexless, in latter films -- mind-reader Charles Xavier. "James was really clear about wanting to give Charles that quality in this prequel. He wanted to see this guy as a young man. He kept saying, 'He's randy.' We tried to establish that early on," says Byrne.
Byrne wasn't into comic books growing up and hence wasn't a big X-Men fanatic before shooting First Class, which is earning stellar reviews. She was awed when she first saw the finished film at Wednesday's New York premiere. "It's really super cool. I told Matthew (Vaughn, the director) straight away. He did a fantastic job. It was a hard shoot. He made something sophisticated and cool," she says.
Other movies have to wait. Byrne is focused on Damages – she's shooting the fourth season of the series, gets a monthlong break, and then goes back for the fifth and final installment. "It's been so wonderful to have such a great response to the films so far. It's been a real pleasure. It's such a diverse year. It's so odd to have them come out at the same time," says Byrne.
