"James McAvoy nominated Alistair Darling and Alex Salmond to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge earlier today (August 22). The X-Men actor told the opposing politicians to do their &amp;quot;very worst&amp;quot; after being drenched in icy water to raise money for the ALS Foundation.  SNP leader Alex Salmond and Better Together campaigner Alistair Darling are set to take part in a televised debate on the upcoming Scottish Independence referendum on Monday (August 25). McAvoy said: &amp;quot;As it&amp;#039;s the year of the referendum, I would like to nominate our political champions Alistair Darling and Alex Salmond to do their very worst&amp;quot;.      Darling was the first to take up McAvoy&amp;#039;s challenge, posting a video using the hashtag #WetterTogether. Salmond has also accepted the challenge, and will post his video shortly.  The ALS Foundation aims to boost research for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known in the UK as motor neurone disease. Celebrities across the world have taken part in the fundraising initiative in the last week, including Simon Cowell, Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham and Justin Bieber.
