Paul Bettany doesn't understand the point of having a stunt double.

The actor plays Archangel Michael in forthcoming movie 'Legion' and says he embraced every aspect of starring in an action movie.

He said: "I did do a lot of my own stunts. I did all of my stunts except for two that they wouldn't let me do.

He added: It's a supernatural thriller action movie, I guess

"There's nothing that impressive about it except that I thought, 'I'm making an action movie,' and it's my first, 'and if I'm not doing the action, what am I doing?'

"So I wanted it to be an exciting experience so I wanted to do as much as I could. It was great being on wires. It was awesome. You just look like Bruce Lee immediately because you can flip and stuff. It's fantastic."

Speaking about the plot of the movie, Paul says he loved getting to grips with "wings and guns".

He added: "It's a supernatural thriller action movie, I guess. I play the Archangel Michael and God has lost faith in mankind and I haven't.

"So he's going to try and destroy mankind and I'm here to try and save everybody, with guns. Wings and guns..."
