Keira's co-star feared love scene with her

Friday, September 07, 2007

Washington (ANI): Scottish actor James McAvoy dreaded his steamy sex scene with actress Kiera Knightley in their new film, because he feared she would think he was not well endowed enough. The actor and Knightley share a passionate romp in their new movie 'Atonement' – the big screen adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel – but McAvoy admits that he had some reservations about dropping his clothes in front of his sexy co-star.

"I had that horrible moment when I thought, 'Oh, for f**k sakes, I don't want to do this. I don't want to feel like this, we've not even talked much and she's going to think I've got a small penis," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. The film opened the 2007 Venice Film Festival, making director Joe Wright, at age 35, the youngest director ever to open the prestigious festival. It has already been tipped to be a big Oscar contender.
