British actor James McAvoy has confessed that he caused a stink on the set of the movie 'Wanted' by constantly farting.

Thesun.co.uk, McAvoy had to bulk up for the movie co-starring Angelina Jolie. So he had to drink a lot of muscle-gain supplements.

He said: 'They made me down these shakes which I had to make from these huge tubs of the stuff. To be fair, it really helped, but it came with a massive side effect of me violently farting. It was so often and so vigorous, I couldn't stop.

'When I was filming I was by far the biggest farter in Hollywood. I had to give up the shakes after a month and start eating chicken and steak instead as it was getting embarrassing.'

But he stopped taking muscle-gain supplements after he was done with the role.

He added: 'I found that caffeine, alcohol and smoking break down muscle and there was no way I was giving them up.'
