 In the film, Nicholas is quite promiscuous and takes pride out of bedding multiple women. McAvoy reveals that the process isn’t as much fun for the actor as it appears to be for the character. “The first sex scene that I have is with a Ugandan girl called Sarah. Kevin met a lot of girls for that part. He probably met more people for that part than for any other role in the film because nobody in Uganda would accept the role after he explained what it involved.

You just have to get involved. There’s no sitting around, there’s no going to your trailer because there isn’t one. You just have to be there and be in it, be involved all the time.” This aversion to trailers and down time none-too-subtly suggests he’s more enchanted by the naturalistic world of the Ugandan jungle than he is by the fanciful and synthetic world of Narnia.
