i don’t think james meant anything bad by the grandma kissing comment. i believe he just meant that for filming purposes the kiss was so strategic that any passion or, for lack of a better term, juiciness was drained out. i’m having a hard time explaining things right now … but just to get on point, i think it just wasn’t a comfortable situation because they were snogging in front of a film crew, and while they were kissing, the director was probably telling them to move their heads a certain way so the camera can get a good shot from interesting angles. so yeah, it would be hardly romantic. i’m sure under different circumstances, james would have enjoyed angie’s lips. but they made the kiss look very good, despite james’ discomfort about his breath. hehe.

@ carrie just for discussion who among the beautiful actresses in hollywood could play FOX as good as angelina! fyi angelina is the only female star in hollywood who does 80% of her stunts when doing an action film! also if angie would just pose in a movie she will not get an oscar or will not be able to command $15 mil per film!

He was joking, trying to downplay the nosiness of the press. I think tha’t the only quetsion they ALL prepared to ask him. Ridiculous people.

@Carrie

LOL really, any beautiful actress? Where did she pose? You do realise posing requires deliberate stance(s). Don’t agree mate! At all! Angie’s talent was very evident, James was fabulous and so was Angie.

How young is he really? as a grandmother myself I know kissing Angie can’t be like kissing a grandmother (I wish) Angie is very young herself. Sometimes it is hard to express yourself across cultures even when the language is the same. So perhaps he meant something else and couldn’t quite express it in American english :) I do hope 33 is not considered old these days geez.

Carrie,

Could you name the beautiful actresses who have action talent you have in mind?

Carrie, his talent has nothing to do with it, I guess, due to his young age, he’s quite tackless in his interviews. I just did not like his choice of words referring to kissing Angie like kissing a grandma. That is not a nice comment, Angie is not that old.

jhoey27, I would disagree. I think McAvoy is very very much the star of this film, and it is very much his talent and range that is on display here. I think the Fox role could have gone to any number of beautiful actresses who have action talent. That said, I think a lot of people will see it because of her… I did… but he’s going to be a very big actor because he is very talented.

i think it was an interview for BBC radio. angie’s interview was already posted here (i couldn’t remember which topic). she replied to the ‘like kissing his grandmother’ comment. she didn’t take it badly. in fact, she found it so funny! she knew that james mcavoy was just kidding. so i don’t see any problem.:)

Did anyone hear one of McAvoys interview where he was asked about the kissing scene if he was nervous, one interview, he stated that he was uncomfortable due to bad breath, not Angie, but him. Then the other interview, can’t recall if it was access or extra, McAvoy made a comment that he felt like he was kissing a grandmother, now that’s way out of line. Angie is far from being his grandmother and that was not a nice thing to say about a co-star. I can honestly say that, if Angie was not in the movie, I don’t think it would make that much. I’ll try to check which interview that was…

Seemed sort of mindless and souless to me. McAvoy is a great actor. I thought she looked hot but seemed more like she was posing rather than acting. The plot was really kind of silly. Some of the action was cool, but the plot left a lot to be desired. Liked the music. I would say overall it was not her best.
