  5. glumPuddle says:

    Phew! For a second there, I thought it said "James McAvoy Dead."

  6. I read it that way at first as well. 😛

    Congratulations to James and Anne-Marie! "Children are a treasure from the Lord" [Psalm 127:3]. I hope this link works… 😉 http://www.dayspring.com/ecards/subcat.asp?CategoryID=2&SubCategoryID=10&CardID=400047&Widescreen=False

    Congratulations to the happy couple! Wishing all three of them safety, health and joy.

  13. 220chrisTian says:

    I did. She's really pretty. It's weird because somehow I knew this would happen. I've been expecting it. That probably doesn't make any sense to anyone else…

  14. Shy Galadriel says:

    YAY! Aww… baby! 🙂
    Congratulations and blessings to all three of you! May he or she grow to be a blessing to you and yours!

    awwww!!! baby! I love babies they are such a blessing and I am sure that this baby will be a blessing to them 🙂

  16. AndreyaofNarnia says:

    Yay! May God bless you through this little girl or boy!! Congrats! I'll be praying. 🙂

    awww! Congrats to them both! I love babies!! I actually didn't know he was married.
    My Mom's expecting a baby boy in late Feb. or early March.

  18. WhiteRider says:

    Yeah, I was scared there for a moment thinking it said dead!

  19. Starlily says:

    *Gasp!* I didn't even know he was married! But that's great, anyway, that he's going to be a dad! Hurray for James!

  20. Starlily says:

    Well, it's only natural that eventually he and his wife would have a baby. Most people do have children when they're married. 😀

  21. HighQueenofNarnia says:

    I didn't know that he was married either- in the LWW illustrated companion, he mentions his girlfriend when he is interviewed by Georgie- I wonder if it's the same lady? Anyway, congratulations to the baby! When is he/she due?

  22. HighQueenofNarnia says:

    I forgot to add- God bless them and keep them and make His face shine upon them. May He be gracious to them, lift up His countenance upon them, and give them peace. Numbers 6:25-26. It's a blessing on priests.

  23. HighQueenofNarnia says:

    Yeah, it works for me. That's so cute!

  24. Silver the Wanderer says:

    Ahhh that's wonderful! Congrats to them both! 😀

  25. HighQueenofNarnia says:

    Wait- I just noticed something. It says that James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff are having a baby. If they're married, why aren't their last names the same?

  26. georgie-fan says:

    i need a picture of his son/daughter as soon as he/she is born!!! =)

  27. Sammie says:

    Many women don't change their names after marriage; it's not a requirement. In addition, if the lady became known professionally by her maiden name – and Ms. Duff had a lot of work and award nominations prior to marrying (I personally loved "The Way We Live Now"), she will often stick with that name. I've even had schoolteachers who married during the school year but still went by "Miss So-and-so" until the next school year to make it easier for us as students.

  28. Andrea says:

    That's so lovely now he's gonna have a little Lucy! That's such a blessing!

  29. Mapthestars says:

    HAHAHA. I thought the same thing too and I freaked out!!!! but then I read it again, that's a relief. But congrats to him, wish he was my dad.

  30. Waleed Khan says:

    wow the faun givs birth!!!
    awsum!!!

  31. adamie says:

    imagine, a little faun falling asleep while Tumnus plays a narnian lullaby!

    congrats!

  32. Anna's Sister says:

    I didn't even know he was married! Congratulations to them both!

  33. Narnianerd says:

    Congarats Mcavoy! As an older brother I know what a blessing children are… Until they start teething… Never mind, I wish you and your wife and child cozy slippers!
    ^-^

  34. Aravis and Hwin says:

    I thought the same thing 🙂

  35. Liberty Hoffman says:

    congradulations, James and Ann-Marie! 🙂

  36. DamselJillPole says:

    Awe! How precious. Congrats to them both!!

  37. 220chrisTian says:

    Why did so many of you not know McAvoy was married? IMDB: the wedding date was October 18, 2006… http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564215/bio. What shocks me is that I didn't realize I knew Anne-Marie, even though I'd seen pics of her before! Aristocrats, The Way We Live Now, Elizabeth: The Virgin Queen… *gasps

  38. 220chrisTian says:

    @StarLily: yes it's only natural, but I was expecting it this year… 😉

  39. 220chrisTian says:

    "When asked how he felt about the happy news, McAvoy told reporters: 'Amazing. Psychedelic. Excellent.'" 😀

  40. Lady Polly says:

    Congratulations!!! A Baby on the way!! AWWW

  41. MurtaghLuv says:

    congrats to Mr. McAvoy. so sweet.

  42. Mac-bond says:

    LOL. I was thinkin' the same thing, but that's great news (the baby part), I am happy for him.

  43. Hermitess of Narnia says:

    This is wonderful, I'll pray everything goes well with the baby and for their family!

  44. Starlily says:

    You're right, she was in The Virgin Queen! Wow, she looks different from when she played Elizabeth! Huh, isn't that weird that she married James McAvoy… Not really weird, just a funny coincidence for me.

  45. NarniaWarrior says:

    Awesome !! Even a faun can have a family…Congratulations James and Ann-Marie…be happy and blessed !!

  46. evan says:

    for a second there i hought that the title said, "James McaAvoy is dead." and i was like, "OH MY GOSH!" lol. but now im okay. congartulations you both. Jr. Mr. tumnus is on the way!

  47. ♥Lizard Head♥ says:

    I guess I'll have to wait ;( Oh well I'll live!
    Even if I die trying!

    Notify me if that makes sense!

    ♥LiZaRd HeAd♥

  48. Fire Fairy says:

    Conga-rats to them both!! Children are both a precious gift and a major responsibility. I wish the best of luck to the fortunate parents!

  49. violet sky Raven says:

    Awesome! Congrats!

  50. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    WOW!! So exciting! As an aunt with a niece and nephew I know what a blessing they can be. Praying God's blessings over the McAvoy/Duff family! ~Numbers 6:24-26~

  51. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    I know, right? Awesome! I love his accent. I think the Scottish accent has to be my all-time fav. Even better than Australian, lol, although I love that too. =)

  52. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    Haha! Mac-bond, is your name a mix of MacGyver and Bond? If it isn't, my bad… but if it is, that's neat.

  53. [ForNarniaAndForAslan] says:

    that's pretty! <3

  54. 220chrisTian says:

    At "The Last Station" premiere last week, somebody asked McAvoy about the baby's gender and he said, "Don't know, don't care." Lol! Well, I hope they have a girl. 🙂

  55. Peepicheep says:

    Congratulations, *sniff* wow he growing up. God bless you both and again Congratulations.

  56. I didn't know they were married either…

  57. ChristProclamer says:

    Congratulations, James and Anne-Marie. I will be praying for you and your child and wishing you all the best.
    It would be fun if James comes back for HHB or LB to have the child be an extra or something.

  58. gigi says:

    wow! guys! congrats 🙂

  59. Narnia Is My Life says:

    I was scared for a minute there as well but not because I thought it said James McAvoy dead I knew it said dad. But when I read glumPuddle post I thought that said it had meant to say dead not dad that’s why I was scared 🙂
