The Break up star had attended the premiere of his directorial debut, California Schemin’, at TIFF along with his spouse Lisa Liberati on Saturday.

McAvoy, 46, was reportedly having a few quiet drinks along with his producers when the incident occurred.

Toronto police confirmed to World Information that no report was filed, and McAvoy simply laughed off the incident, in response to Folks.
