Knightley happy to have McAvoy on top

How's this for a turn up? Keira Knightley demanded that her Atonement co-star James McAvoy got top billing on the film's poster.

Unlike many acting divas, for whom billing is all that matters, Knightley was adamant that her Scottish co-star deserved to be placed above her.

She said, "I'm just not into that s**t about 'I want my name on top'. I think it's James' movie. It's one of the most incredible performances I've seen and there's no way my name should be first. I got very embarrassed by the suggestion. I think James McAvoy is a once-in-a-generation kind of talent."

We're pretty sure that McAvoy should not expect the same treatment on his new film Wanted alongside Angelina Jolie.
