Remember when your writer told you about the overall "relaxed" vibe which was coursing through Danny Boyle's set and the feature as a whole for the most part? Well, the director seemingly had a limit to the shenanigans going down in and around his baby, and that apparently came in the form of Johnny Lee Miller and his partner going for a roll.

The partner in question was none other than Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie, who had joined her boyfriend on set for a spell, and the rolling was of the roller-skate variety. With the two deciding to let loose on their wheels in-between shots, Boyle reportedly wasn't all too happy about their antics and called for them to cease scooting about the old cigarette factory they were shooting in.

Said factory has now been converted into a block of luxury flats, as it goes. Fancy that.
