James not a gym lover
|
There’s no doubt James McAvoy is the man of the moment. He's not only easy on the eye but also has a glittering career. However, you're not likely to spot James down the gym – in fact, he says he would rather "eat dog poo" than exercise.
James, who plays hero Wesley Gibson in new action movie Wanted opposite Angelina Jolie, admitted he was forced to work out for the role. Speaking about the toned body he shows off in the film, he told US mag Parade: "It was not a special effect. It was the result of a lot of time at the gym - which I hated. I would actually rather eat dog poo than exercise."
The Scottish star also revealed he had to stand back from Angelina so he didn't gas her.
He explained: "I was also trying to take these super-protein supplements and they gave me incredible bouts of flatulence which wouldn't have endeared me to the rest of the cast."
Meanwhile, James says you won't catch him staring down at you from a billboard endorsing a product. The former Shameless star explained: "If the public know the type of clothes you like to wear, then it becomes funny for them watching you wearing a tux. I know those are tiny little things but I do think that makes a difference.
"As soon as you start to try and sell people stuff then surely you contravene some contract with the film-going public?"
That's a shame - wouldn’t have minded seeing James semi-naked on a poster…
