As a Scot I can attest that James’ description of us Scots rushing to get burnt at the first sign of sunlight is so incredibly accurate. Literally anything above 10 degrees & there is a good chance you will see people out in their garden or cleaning their cars without tops on! 😂
I’ve got a neighbour called “Oily Jim”, and whenever there’s a wee patch of sun, he strips off and layers himself in lotion and just “cooks” himself for the few minutes he’s got
Yes jawn is a philly word! It could mean boy, girl, song, food.. whatever.. mostly used by the hood/urban areas.. I’m not even from philly but if u know u know.
Chastain is sheltered and all her Philly friends are probably from stuck up rich neighborhoods. I've know this and I'm from the UK. There was a whole scene describing the term Jawn in Creed too.
I’m from northeast Philly and “Jawn” is definitely a thing. Everyone uses it all the time even my teachers used it in school. It’s just a slang word used to basically say a thing and it can also mean the bathroom.
NAWW the Scottish people are a bit more to the point then Americans are. They dont beat around the bush like Americans do. My family is like that, but then we are of Scottish and Irish decent.
Jawn Philly slang for a person, place, or thing (Jawn). I cant find that jawn anywhere. Did you see that movie? That jawn was horrible. Yeah, I got the same jawn from Macy's. That new Jawn that moved in down the block is HOT! Gimme that jawn! #person#place#thing#noun#slang by Pab(Philly native) February 13, 2012
Weird thing, I used to drive for Uber/Lyft a lot, and most of my passengers were under the age of 30ish and hand just moved to the area less than 2 years ago. And by a lot, I mean a lot. Most came for school and decided to stay. So 1 would assume that a lot of people who live in Philly now may not know what jawn means 😱. I know, it's dreadful to even think about. Jawn is as Philly as cheesesteaks, water (wader, and I do say it like that around relaxed company) ice, and the Liberty Bell! Without out jawn, there is no Philly, there is no Liberty Bell! So rush to your phones and call the number that flashes on the screen when James makes a plea to Philadelphians to back him up!
For anyone wondering which castle is featured in this video, it is called Eilean Donan (pronounced ee nan dun ann) and is located in the northwest highlands near the isle of Skye, in a town called Dornie. It is the ancestral home of Clan MacRae and Mackenzie and is open parts of the year for tours. It is the most photographed castle in Scotland, having played major parts in motion pictures such as Highlander and 1999's The World is Not Enough (007) and serves as the inspiration for the Disney Pixar movie Brave.
I am from Philly (not a suburb) and Jawn is definitely a thing here. It's a Noun. The person who said it isn't is probably one of those people who says they're from Philly but is actually from a suburb.
@@eon001 I see you replying to lots of people telling them you are from the UK and that this is common knowledge and that Jessica Chastain needs to get out more. And my first thought was "This person must listen to rap music." Since jawn is apparently black slang in Philadelphia, America. And your comment here confirms my theory. Just because you happen to be from the UK, and listen to rap music does not mean that Jawn is remotely known about in Scotland, England, or the UK as a whole among the majority of people. It's an obscure slang word from a small community in a city in a state of 50 states, within America, which is thousands of miles away. You don't speak for every British person.
I lived in the suburbs of Philly my whole life and still heard that term all the time! I live in the city now so of course we hear it more, but yes it's a thing! It really can be used in place of any noun. Makes sense he would have heard it since he filmed a few movies in Philadelphia, actually a local Pie shop near where I used to live catered the set and got to meet him!
i'm from outside of philly, and jawn is definitely a thing!! a jawn can be a delicious food, a good looking person, and a load of other things! you got it right james lol
🤣🤣🤣He said that shit right. I'm from the west side. Jawn is anything that you don't know the exact name for. It's also a person, place and or thing. Whoever shouted off cam it's not a thing isn't from Philly but like a offshoot county like Chester or Villanova. Hand me the jawn, look at the jawn (girl) wit the low cut jawn (item) on, etc.
I'm from Philly so when James said Jawn it popped out at me like a bright light in a dark room but when Jessica then continues on to say I'll take my burger animal style... I haven't been more puzzled in my life 🙃
Took me a while to realise these two are promoting the second movie they are in together this year (IT Chapter 2) and not the VoD/DVD release of the first movie they were in together (Dark Phoenix).
Fil Frederiksen lol good joke but black people or people from those neighborhoods we have our own culture and way we speak. Now if you chose to say we are poor cool. Just remember that prominent actor knows what that means. And rich people get all their ideas from us.
All you have to do is watch the movie Creed. Tessa Thompson who plays Bianca says it after everything. It's more of a urban slang in Philly. James you are correct !!!

Yes!
He has read some! There's an interview where he has read thirst tweets with Sarah Paulson, sure it would be amazing to have him do that again!
Naaa...Jessica should. That series is hella sexist, its always men 🙄
R Baz Sorry dude but when a man thirst tweets it just comes off as predatory. It’s a double standard. You just have to deal with it.

4:12 "really fucking cool ones" Love James' sass at the lady!
Thank god James doesnt really change his accent to suit americans.
Well he does have a very weak accent so he doesn't need to change it. Someone like Kevin Bridges has to drastically change the way they speak.
@@sulphuric_glue4468 very true, but putting on a more "polite" accent is very doable for kevin too
Honestly I'm from the English midlands and I sometimes struggle with Scots.
He bloody well does by the way. Try and find Drumchapel voices and you'll see

The Philly Delegation revokes that interviewer's membership and grants McAvoy his Philly pass! #jawn
ShelbyBaby27 I was truly shocked nobody knew that except James. I’m from the opposite side of Pennsylvania and we even say jawn
@@Kat-qr7hv I thought everyone said it 😂
Agreed
Seriously, whoever is from Philly and said 'jawn is not a thing' must be a fucking idiot
I agree with you! Hahaha
Jawn Is Definitely A Thing 😂
You can tell they were from the posh part of Philly. "It's a thing but only used by certain *types*". Yea we know what that mean ;P
@@eon001 facking hell thats outrageous
Ahh, I see the euphemism. Baserad och rödpilla
I ve heard that expression in the Creed movie with Michael B Jordan
Woaaaah some eastern PA stuff
So happy to see McAvoy in a leading role again, he’s such a brilliant actor
i need more videos with these two together, can’t get enough of them 😭
"Jawn" is usually used in the African American community of Philadelphia...James is down! we see you.
Fuck the italians right?
Jessica Chastain is so breathtaking!i can’t take my eyes of her🥰😍
You too, mate, you too

james MacLennan Might use that one when the opportunity presents itself. Thank you, friend
Same but with McAvoy
Jawn is 100% a thing! LoL Good on ya James!
Yep I'm the the UK and even I knew that. Chastain has lived a sheltered life and all her Philly friends are probably posh elitists lol.
Good I’m from philly an never realized how much I say Jawn till now
your name made me laugh so hard. i just didn't expect ...
lol
Next time pair James McAvoy with Lewis Capaldi ~ that would be a blast!
Next time pair James McAvoy with PETER Capaldi ~ that would be 100 times better!
Jawn's a thing, I've seen Creed.
All the new James content makes me so happy 💕
Jawn is 100 percent real. It is said EVERY DAY out here. I think those "Philly" people behind the camera are from Chestnut hill and are embarrassed
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

YES! “Jawn” is absolutely a Philly (& South Jersey) thing! I’m so impressed that James knew about this.
he did film two movies in Philly
Jessica Chastain is precious!!! So charming.
How to coin a new Scottish phrase:
1. Get drunk
2. More drunk
3. Have a stroke
Also, put your bank card into a fence and wonder why it's not giving you money.
You need a lot of ‘swally’ for that.
😂
Aye, in Scotland getting so drunk you suffer a stroke is what we term "3rd base" on a night out.
If that person is from "Philly" and doesn't know Jawn.
Well then they ain't from Philly
Who ever said their from Philly and they don't know what Jawn is are definitely from Amish country or moved to Philly this year
michael reader I am from Amish country and I knew what jawn meant

Love u James been a fan since the Narnia Days! So proud I’m from the same country as you! Loved the video 😊🏴
Jawn is 100% a thing in Philly. Its a universal noun. "Anybody got a pen. Let me get that Jawn right there."
I love James McAvoy so much he’s such a sweetheart
James Mcavoy saying burnt is the funniest thing ever 😂
The subtitles say “a euphemism for someone’s gentiles” hahahahahahaha
I couldn't stop staring at Eilean Donan Castle behind them, Scotland is trully one of the most beautiful places on earth.
”I’m from Philly thats not a thing” BULLSHITE!
McAvoy spent a small amount of time in Philly filming Split and Glass and he probably heard one person using the Jawn thing.
He probably heard every person he met say it because it is such an overused slang word in Philly
lol i mean you spelling bullshit like that means you're not from Philly either
Jawn is 100% a thing, in fact it can be ANYTHING. Mad respect to McAvoy filming all those M Night movies.
Jawn is definitely a thing.

Can't wait to see Joaquin Phoenix here doing impressions of other people for JOKER press interview.
We absolutely use "jawn" in Philly. I grew up hearing that word used regularly, especially among my peers.
This is awesome. I love learning about other cultures. Thanks Guys
watching this I couldn't think was this for IT Chapter 2, or for Dark Phoenix
Jawn IS a word here in Philly. It's a noun.
My cousin uses the word jawn all the time, and he's born and raised in southwest Philly.
Everyone of these with Jamsey is great.
Loved how James said "oh fawwwkk offffff" 😂😂
JAWN IS DEFINITELY A THING JAMES YOU ARE CORRECT

I love them both...both beautiful person :)
James flipping off one of the interviewers is incredibly good
I’m from southwest Philly and James is absolutely correct “Jawn” could really mean anything you need it to. It is really only a Philly thing
WHAT JAMES KNOW ABOUT “JAWN”!?!?!
HE STAAAAYYYYY IN THE HOOD!
James can only learn that word from ONE PLACE!
Jawn is definitely a Philly word. He filmed some of his movies in Philly, so I’m sure he heard it a lot.
"Used by certain types" ie the HOOD
James’ accent is so damn adorable aaaaahhh
He's got the funniest accent, I can't. This is hilarious :D
What's so funny about a Scottish accent?
Love the pic of Eileen Donan castle (Scotland) in the background. I was just there!
Hearing James say “jawn” is sooo cute
James McAvoy: Doin’ ma dinger

Jawn is a Philadelphia area term used to refer to almost anything (person, place or thing). That (item) is the jawn!

How can they not know about jawn? As a non-american even I know that, it was in the first Creed movie !
Jawnn is also a Baltimore thing. And “certain types” is pretty hilarious. It’s definitely black ppl.
I love Philly/ Baltimore things.
they're in a lot of movies together, you wouldn't know which one they're promoting without seeing the date stamp
