X-Men star James McAvoy was a guest on The Graham Norton Show this evening, along with his Victor Frankenstein co-star Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), and was asked about Professor Charles Xavier losing his hair in X-Men: Apocalypse.

“Is there a good reason for why he goes bald or is it really dull?” Norton asked (via Bleeding Cool).
