"I got a little shy. I was really surprised that I felt that exposed. I didn't expect ourselves to come out as much. I didn't expect it to feel as real, and so because of especially the type of character I play, it was kind of funny at first," People quoted Jolie, as stating at a press conference for the film in Los Angeles.

"There are certain moments where I felt actually shy - and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than [what] we expected," she added.

Boewulf, which opens on Nov 16 is directed by Robert Zemeckis and is based on the Old English poem.
