James McAvoy's gym disgust
Tuesday, 24 June 2008
James McAvoy would rather "eat dog poo" than exercise.
The British actor, who stars alongside Angelina Jolie in 'Wanted', admits he was reluctant to tone his physique for the action-packed thriller.
When asked about his taut six-pack, James said: "They were 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 29-year-old actor, who plays assassin Wesley Gibson in 'Wanted', also revealed the supplements he took to help him bulk up had embarrassing side-effects.
James added to Parade.com: "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.
"But I'm back to normal. I haven't worked out since the day, 10 months ago, that I wrapped this film."
James has also revealed he has "a lot of respect" for co-star Angelina, and insists she is a very down to earth person despite her enormous fame.
He explained: "Working with her was cool. She's a nice lady. She's nothing like the image from all the hype that follows her around. Angelina was just completely different than anything I expected. I've got a lot of respect for her."
