Actor James McAvoy says he was bullied by a co-star during his time filming HBO’s miniseries “Band of Brothers.” He made the claim on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” while taking part in a segment where he discussed behind-the-scenes experiences. McAvoy describes the incident as happening on his first day on set.
According to multiple outlets, he says the situation involved the co-star’s treatment of him after he received “tons of lines,” though McAvoy does not publicly name the individual. The reports characterize his account as a “terrible” experience, with the core details—first day filming, bullying by a co-star, and lack of identification—consistent across the coverage. The outlets differ mainly in phrasing and emphasis, but they all rely on McAvoy’s on-air statements and his decision to keep the identity of the alleged co-star private.
