James McAvoy: "I was lucky enough to work with Sir Patrick."
The death of veteran Hollywood actor Patrick Stewart has sparked an outpouring of heartfelt condolences and tributes, not only from celebrities who had the privilege of meeting and working with him but also from fans who grew up watching his films.
For many comic book hero aficionados, Patrick is best known for his brilliant portrayal of Professor X or Charles Xavier in the X-Men movie franchise.

Patrick's passing is particularly poignant for Scottish actor James McAvoy, who played a younger Professor X in four X-Men films: X-Men: First Class (2011), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), and Dark Phoenix (2019).
Sharing on Instagram some of his lovely moments with the late actor, James wrote, “Wherever you're going I know you'll go boldly…I was lucky enough to work with Sir Patrick a number of times and he was always lovely to me. First as a fan and then as a colleague I count myself lucky to have gone with you for a short time.”
Patrick Stewart died at the age of 86 after succumbing to Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.
