James McAvoy may have buffed up for his role in Wanted but it doesn't seem like he's been caught by the exercise bug. The actor says he would prefer to "eat dog poo" than workout in the gym.
It would be putting it lightly, then, to say the Scottish star didn't enjoy his preparation for the action film in which he co-stars with Angelina Jolie.
McAvoy told Parade about his physique in the film: "[It was] not a special effect. It was the result of a lot of time at the gym - which I hated. I would actually rather eat dog poo than exercise."
While his actual diet during his training programme was probably not quite that disgusting, McAvoy wasn't fond of the muscle-building supplements.
"I was also trying to take these super-protein supplements and they gave me incredible bouts of flatulence which wouldn't have endeared me to the rest of the cast," he added.
