Hollywood star James McAvoy is still holding a seven-year grudge on a former landlady, who ripped him off by stealing his security deposit.The actor, originally from Glasgow, Scotland, was renting a London England house with friends in 2001, but, after moving out, the owner kept his $1,200 deposit, claiming he had trashed the place. And McAvoy has never forgotten the greedy landlady. He recalls, "I moved to London when I got the part on (TV series) Band Of Brothers."I had been kipping (sleeping) on people’s floors because the show paid nicely, but it didn’t pay hugely. Finally some friends from Glasgow showed up, and we decided to rent this house together."But it was an absolute dive, a horrible place. The landlady was a right demon. After we moved out, she kept the deposit, saying we damaged the floor in the bathroom, but it was damaged when we got there."I’ve got a lot of hate for her. I can’t believe she kept our money."
