James McAvoy says kissing Angelina Jolie was "never nice".The Scottish actor - who appears alongside Angelina in new action movie 'Wanted' - admits he found it "strange" and "weird" when he had to lock lips with the Hollywood beauty.He said: "It was just another day, and the same old stuff as usual. I was just thinking, 'Oh God, I hope she doesn't think I'm getting off on this.' And she's doing the same. So it's always weird. Always strange, never nice!" McAvoy - who is married to actress Anne-Marie Duff - was desperate to star in an action film because he doesn't want to be typecast as period drama actor.The actor - who starred opposite Keira Knightley in 'Atonement' which was set in 1935 and appeared in 'Becoming Jane' set in 1795 - explained: "It's not the kind of film I've done before, I admit that. But I wanted to do something different. I think a lot of people think I'm a period actor, even though for me it never seems like the same thing twice. I want to be seen in different genres."
