Middle Age Hollywood

While Liev has no problem taking on mentally and physically challenging action roles, meeting Angelina made him nervous.

"I was very intimidated and kind of nervous [when we first met]," he recalls. "I get uncomfortable around famous people and beautiful women, and she was kind of a double threat. This was a big double-whammy for me and initially really uncomfortable."

But Schreiber immediately bonded with Angelina while discussing their kids.

"All the anxiety about her being very famous and a super-human celebrity kind of went away and I found this very nice, easy person that I could relate to," he recalls.

Liev was also impressed that Jolie could do such physically tough action scenes despite her fragile-looking frame.

"I think that’s one of the guilty pleasures of being a guy: watching beautiful women pull off these action things," he says. "The stuff that Angie can do, physically, is remarkable.”

He adds: "Having said that, I think Angelina is pretty talented and a remarkable human being, and a great mom. She’s definitely not like any other lady I know.”

'SHE'S A SPRINTER'

“She’s very fast, arms pumping, she’s got sprinter run,” Schreiber, 42, tells Canada's Star daily.
