X-Men: First Class aactor James McAvoy has confessed that he is finding it increasingly tough playing in Hollywood movies.
The 34-year-old has been working on reprising the role of Professor Charles Xavier for the second X-Men prequel, Days of Future Past.
He told PA that he thinks he will need a stunt double in a few years.
James confessed: “I’m getting older. I reckon I’ve only got four or five more years of doing that kind of s*** before it’s like, ‘Whoa! We’ll be getting the stunt double in here’.”
McAvoy revealed that he had taken a bash during filming of the action movie.
He said: “I cracked my knee quite badly on the third take but that was just my own fault.
“The plane wasn’t even throwing me around. I just tripped over a camera. I’m going to be limping for a week.
“The first time they did it, they said, ‘Do you want to rehearse?’ I said, ‘No, let’s just do it and see where it throws me.’
“I’m quite bendy, quite bouncy. I usually land well.”
