James McAvoy Squashes ‘The Hobbit’/ Bilbo Baggins Rumors

Hey guess what interweb? Despite the rumors, James McAvoy, the male lead of “Atonement,” is not going to be playing Ian Holm’s role of Bilbo Baggins in the “The Hobbit,” LOTR prequel according to Collider.

“It’s not true by the way, it’s all internet rumoring and nothing else I’m afraid. Sorry.”

Too bad, he would’ve been a good choice. Oh well…. Maybe he’s just not one for furry, oversized feet acting aside CGI-stand-ins.
