Angelina Jolie often speaks in an English accent.

The actress says playing English archaeologist Lara Croft in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' in 2001 and the sequel 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life' in 2003 means she sometimes unknowingly adopts the accent.

She said: "I still slide into an English accent every now and then from my 'Tomb Raider' days!"

Angelina - who is currently expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt - also revealed she loved working with James McAvoy in new assassin movie 'Wanted', because he was so "down to earth".

She added to BBC Radio 1: "The thing about James is that you meet so many actors in this business, and you meet James and think, 'Thank God, someone down to earth who is going to make it.'

"But the kissing scene was our first scene together, and I was just thinking how bizarre that was!"

'Wanted' is released worldwide later this month.
