James McAvoy is certainly a very lucky man! After kissing Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway and Christina Ricci, he has now the distinction of kissing Angelina Jolie too! However, in an interview, it seemed the actor was more turned on having the pulp beaten out of him by the screen siren than he was during their makeout session. James McAvoy, who plays a lame accountant-turned-action hero in the action flick “Wanted“, told Pop Tarts:

“The thing I most appreciated from Angelina was that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. And she kept reminding us that if you can’t have fun when you’re making an action movie, you shouldn’t be doing it … It was much better to be bashed by Jolie. The best thing in the fight scene is to be bashed and take the hit — so much better than giving someone a punch. We had so much fun; I loved it.”

Yeah, well, different strokes for different folks eh?? =) In her sexiest action screen role to date, Angelina Jolie plays Morgan Freeman’s sidekick, Fox, whose calling in life is to kill those whose name is picked by “Fate.” And it seems James isn’t the only co-star who still can’t stop talking about the actress. Rapper/actor Common says,

“It’s rare to find people who speak the truth in this business sometimes. People say what they think you want to hear and [Jolie] wasn’t that type of person. She was very creative.”

As for Thomas Kretschmann, he found the pregnant actress inspiring. He shares,

“I wanted to be as good as Angelina, who is in, like, my opinion an expert. She just knows how to move and look cool and handle weapons. There is a certain sexiness involved, as well, which makes it very difficult.”
