James McAvoy On Kissing Angelina Jolie

By Access HollywoodJune 16, 2008, 1:51 pm PDT

LONDON, England -- Angelina Jolie's "Wanted" co-star, James McAvoy, says kissing the mega-celeb is just another day at the office.

"It's the only physical contact we have in the entire film other than when she beats me up - which she does a lot," he told The London Times. "Just another day, and the same old s--t as usual."

Though James is now a full-fledged action star, he says he's been able to escape the type of attention his famous co-star and husband Brad Pitt have to endure.

"Even as mad as things got with 'Last King Of Scotland' and 'Atonement' with the award hype and all that s--t, my life's never been like that," James told the paper. "They're two of the most beautiful people in the world. That's a big thing; it's not just about being well known for the films you make. I was told stories by her bodyguard of people running across freeways to take a picture of her! That's never gonna happen with me.

"Unless I'm kissing Bill Clinton at the time," James continued. "Which I don't think I'm gonna do. I hope."

And it's not just his lack of tabloid attention that makes this star different from his fellow celebrities.

While plenty of A-listers are known for their lavish lifestyles, McAvoy prefers a more thrifty spending approach.

"I'm just quite tight," He admits. "I play to stereotype: I'm tight as a Scotsman's wallet."
Catch James and Angelina in "Wanted" opening in theaters on June 27.

    Then again, nobody put a gun in brad's head so that he had to DIVORCE jennifer anniston and HAVE kids with angelina jolie. he chose it. so haters, just get over it. if you hate them, don't read columns that'll just get your blood pressure rising. you might just die of heart attack and these celebrities could care less. brad and angelina seem happy, so just be happy.

    I really don't get why people always has to put "homewrecker" or "whore" or "skank" when they describe angelina jolie or any other celebrities. Are these people so emotionally stunted that they just say nasty stuff about people they don't even know personally? Why the heck would these people read about people that they hate anyw

    Angelina is beautiful...inside and out. Brad is gorgeous...and they have a beautiful family as well. They are generous with their money and use it to help others. They don't just buy themselves more fancy houses, cars and vacations. Beauty at its best!
