Renowned Hollywood actor James McAvoy says it was very difficult to put up different roles together within a film where he portrays a character named Kevin, a person having multiple personality disorder.

The 37-year-old actor said that he had prepared himself for the multiple personality role in the movie named Split, all by himself.

"I got the role quite late in the day, so I had to do nine times the amount of preparation in really less than half the time that I would usually get to prepare one character." said McAvoy.

"The other thing that was interesting is that, apart from Kevin, all the other personalities that lived within the same body, they had a different kind of genesis than you or I." He added.

McAvoy continued, "You know, you or I are born because our parents did the do, but they're born out of a necessity to perform a pretty specific function within the larger group. That's because they each personify a certain quality or qualities that Kevin has."

The X-Men star also revealed that the script of the movie has been quite intriguing.

"It's not just sensational, but something that could be hopefully intriguing and compelling in a way that isn't just edge-of-your-seat nerves. And as an actor there was also the opportunity to flex many muscles and employ all the dexterity you can muster," said the actor.
