Heavenly: Paul Bettany
Paul Bettany has played ruthless killers and a British Prime Minister - none of them angels. But in his next film, that will change - when he gets to play an angel (and an archangel, at that).
The London-born actor (left) plays the lead angel in Legion, a movie about Heavenly beings sent to Earth to put things right.
Bettany will appear with Charles Dutton and Olivia Thirlby, who played Juno's best friend in the Oscar-nominated movie of the same name. Meanwhile, Bettany portrays Lord Melbourne in Young Victoria, which has Emily Blunt in the title role. The actor was 'aged' to play Melbourne. 'I'm not vain, I'm an actor!' he joked.
