Angelina Jolie beats up McAvoy

London (ANI): While James McAvoy might be thanking his stars to have landed a role opposite Angelina Jolie, the Hollywood beauty made him see stars in broad daylight by beating him up on the sets of their new movie. The Atonement star himself revealed his awful experience of starring with the Tomb Raider beauty.

"Angelina kicked seven colours of poo out of me but, thankfully, I'm still in one piece," British tabloid Daily Mirror quoted him as saying. In Wanted, James plays Wesley Gibson, a 25-year-old employee who works in a cubicle. His character is offered the opportunity to avenge the death of his father, who was an assassin.

He is then trained by his father's partner, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), and by Sloan's second-in-command, played by Angelina Jolie. The film is set to be released on June 27.
