James McAvoy to quit doing stunts himself

London: Scottish actor James McAvoy has vowed to quit shooting daredevil scenes and employ a stunt double after repeatedly injuring himself on set. The 'Atonement' actor is considering to give up performing his risky stunts himself, after hurting his knee in an airplane scene on the set of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.

The 34-year-old actor says, "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."
