James McAvoy taking a break from films

James McAvoy is thinking of taking a break from Hollywood to concentrate on establishing a stage career.

The Atonement actor pulled out of a starring role in upcoming comedy-drama I'm With Cancer soon after an announcement that his wife Anne Marie Duff is expecting their first child in June 2010.

It is believed that McAvoy was offered 1 million pounds for the role.

However, the actor is not regretting about turning the part down, because he doesn't want to spend all his time in Hollywood.

"I don't like planning too far ahead. My life was getting planned for me, so I said, 'Stop.' I'm going to do a play, no films for a while,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"I don't want to be in America all the time. If you go down that blockbuster, starry route too much, there's no way back to being a normal actor,” he added.
