Angelina Jolie was keen to work on Wanted when she heard James McAvoy had been cast. The 35-year-old beauty admits it was the casting of the Scottish actor which persuaded her to work on the project, because she though he was an “unusual” choice. She said: “I was itching to do something that was physical because I had done some emotional films and I had been at home with the kids. “I didn’t know that there was anything original out there until I came across this script. “Then I heard they were casting James McAvoy and I thought, ‘That sounds really unusual.’ Everyone thinks of him as this sweet, fun guy – which he is – but he’s also from Scotland, and that’s a tough place.” The Hollywood star also admits her character in the film, Fox, was “interesting” to her as she wasn’t “having fun”. She said: “Fox is not easy to be around. She was interesting to me because she isn’t the love interest and she isn’t having fun. She’s darker.”
