harmonyalr just sent me this article. Just the other day I was thinking about James/Georgie and what it would be like if he bumped into her at an event now, and how he's probably so surprised at how much she's grown. And then I was thinking about how we've basically not heard a Narnia-related word from James since LWW, and how much that sucks. But now this!

It's been six years since Georgie Henley and James McAvoy appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe together.

While James, 31, hasn't seen Georgie, 15, in a while, he had nothing but praises to sing when JJJ caught up with him over the weekend in Los Angeles.

He exclusively shared with us, "I haven't seen Voyage of the Dawn Treader yet and I’m absolutely gutted. I've been ridiculously busy on X-Men that I haven't had the chance to see anything. Even though it was a long time ago, I still do feel a part of that family. It's a great and nice group of people who work on those movies.

"I'm really good friends with Ben [Barnes] and I saw Georgie doing press for the movie on BBC Breakfast one day. I couldn't believe how much she had grown up. I was absolutely shocked. I remember we used to play around when she was smaller — she used to sit on my knee and all that. When I saw her...she's a young woman now, turning into a very beautiful young lady. Then, I realized that I was getting old (laughs)."

I'm just re-reading this like ♥_♥, what even, I only started shipping them like a month ago. CAN WE HAVE FIC OF THIS ACCIDENTAL BBC BREAKFAST MEETING? Turning into a beautiful young lady. Making him feel old! Ficficfic.

And also, obviously, now James/Ben needs to exist. I didn't even know they'd met, I wonder when that happened. And guys, how nice is it to hear that he still feels like a part of the family? I really thought he'd just left it all behind him and didn't really care anymore. This has made me so stupidly happy.
