James McAvoy is one of Hollywood’s trending stars. Having had great success in his role as Charles Xavier in X-Men and now recently in Split, James McAvoy is having success, to say the least.
The question is, will he be affected by President Trump’s immigration ban?
McAvoy was born in Glasgow, Scotland, which is part of the UK. As of now, Trump’s immigration policy bans immigrants from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, so McAvoy will not be directly impacted by Trump’s immigration ban.

Drake is a rap and hip hop icon. Having started off as an actor in Degrassi and finally making his stride as a rapper, Drake has had an amazing career.
But, what a lot of people don’t know is that Drake is an immigrant and he was born in Toronto, Canada.
Will Drake be affected by Trump’s immigration policy?
Since Drake was born in Canada and Canada is not included on the list of countries banned from immigration, Drake will not be directly impacted by Trump’s immigration policy.

La La Land has been a sensation that has brought back the spirit of musicals in hollywood. The star of the show is none other than Ryan Gosling.
Gosling made his debut in the 90s, starring as himself in the Mickey Mouse Club and went on to star in great movies like The NoteBook and The Nice Guys.
What you probably didn’t know is that Gosling was born in London, Canada.
Because Gosling isn’t an immigrant from any of the seven countries listed by the Trump administration, he will not be directly impacted.
