ATONEMENT star James McAvoy and his actress wife ANNE MARIE DUFF ensure their work schedules never clash - because they fear spending time apart.
The Scottish actor cannot bear to be apart from his wife - so has refused to take on any movie roles while his wife works on new projects.
He tells Closer magazine, "We try to organise it so that one of us is there when the other is working. But it doesn't always happen!
"It's great when we're both working, but it means we don't see each other, so one of us to make a decision to not work for a few months.
"So I'm slowing down now and I'll be her bitch while she makes a movie!"
