Scottish actor James McAvoy was so blown away by his Becoming Jane co-star Anne Hathaway's acting talent and English accent during the movie, he believes she will snap up any future English film roles away from Gwyneth Paltrow.

American Paltrow has become well-known for playing English women in her films such as Emma, Shakespeare In Love and Sliding Doors. After Hathaway successfully mastered an English accent to play legendary author Jane Austen in Becoming Jane, McAvoy believes she will be the next American taking on English roles.

He says, "Annie is exceptional and beautiful. Gwyneth Paltrow's days of playing English women are over."
