Alex Pettyfer has revealed that I Am Number Four was an exciting shoot.

The actor is back on the big screen next week with the big screen adaptation of the Pittacus Lore novels - which is directed by D.J Caruso.

And Pettyfer revealed that he did most of his stunts for the movie whilst heaping praise on the director.

Speaking to Collider the actor said: "I did everything, and I did two months training beforehand. D.J. is a very hands-on director and is literally by your side, every minute.

"He creates these phenomenal sets and phenomenal situations and sticks you plunk in the middle, and you don’t really realize that you’re in a movie anymore. You go, 'Oh, shit! I better run for my life.'

And while Pettyfer was doing plenty of stunt work he admits that he didn't pick up an injury.

"I didn’t because we had a phenomenal stunt team. Brad Allan choreographed everything so well. He’s a zen genius. We had great people around us.

"I think the third act in the last 45 minutes of the movie is all down to D.J. creating this amazing world."

2011 is going to be a busy old year for the actor as he is also set to star in Beastly with Vanessa Hudgens - a re-telling of the popular story Beauty and the Beat.

He has also completed work on Now and has been linked to The Mortal Instruments and The Seventh Son.

I Am Number Four is released 23rd February.
