Scottish actor James McAvoy was born on 21 April 1979. He was raised on a housing estate in Drumchapel, Glasgow by his maternal grandparents (James, a butcher, and Mary), after his parents divorced when James was 11. McAvoy toyed with the idea of the Catholic priesthood as a child but, when he was 16, a visit to the school by actor David Hayman inspired his interest in acting. He took the place at the RSAMD (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) and, when he graduated in 2000, he moved to London.

Joseph Thomas Elliott was born on 1 August 1959 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. He studied secondary school at King Edward VII School . One of Elliot’s inspiration sources for songwriting is his eclectic tastes in music. There was a time he said that “After you have a hit like Hysteria and you’re signed to the corporate machine it becomes an albatross around your neck. As much as our music is anthemic rock’n’roll it’s a business at the end of the day. It’s stressful and gets harder each time you make a record.”
