Ewan McGregor In Person | EIFF 2015

Ewan McGregor goes on stage to talk about his career in this exclusive EIFF 2015 event. Highlights from his conversation with Edith Bowman cover a wide range of topics, from his biggest movies - Star Wars, Moulin Rouge - to building a relationship with directors, plus the one dream role he never got to play.

It's really hard to focus on what he's saying when he's so goddamn beautiful.

[@cynthiacisneros1694]

I like when he has his hair a little longer❣️

[@xn9tj]

its so fucking distracting

[@debrafranklin4732]

Met him in early 2000s when he was making Big Fish in the States and he had enrolled his children in the school where I worked and was such a lovely and generous man and an incredible actor!

[@Sagittarius-81]

Met him? He's a splinter in my mind!

[@RalphRoberts1]

Lucky. Big Fish is a fantastic movie btw.

[@GalacticPossum]

I love how much he lights up when he's wished a happy Father's Day. Between this and him tearing up talking about adopting one of his daughters, you can tell he just loves being a dad.

[@johannapemberton-smith3245]

I could watch Ewan McGregor watch paint dry. He is gorgeous, sexy, intelligent, has a gorgeous Scottish accent, beautiful eyes and smile, is a phenomenal actor and can play any role perfectly! Very interesting, great interviewer as well. I only wish we could hear the questions asked by the audience, because the answers lack context. Especially whatever the question that made them both gasp!

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Mad respect for HIS respect of another faith. Most would have handled the role with sarcasm to appear superior in Hollywood. Ewan seems genuinely interested in playing a complex character and story. Going to watch the movie bc of this

[@ireneusai6802]

Omg I just saw myself giving him the gift 🎁! 😁❤️

[@user-qi2qq4ti8n]

It was so nice😊😊

[@bobbysalazars1645]

When?

[@mirandablanco4692]

OMGGG Lucky you

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Awwww you were so precious! And it was cool he recognized u on instagram lol

[@Buutaro]

but what was it

[@pmo3359]

Love Ewan Mcgregor, such a wonderful storyteller. He looked gorgeous for 44.😍 Ewan is 53 currently, and still handsome, but he's definitely aged quite a bit. I thought he was 58😮.

[@wildviolet3973]

I like his accent.

[@moviewatcher1968]

He's such a nice guy.

[@claremccrory42]

Ewan is definitely one of the good guys. Love this interview, he's such a natural, warm person. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁 ❤

[@xn9tj]

the lady who pulled him down to kiss him again LOL

[@marinaantenor916]

Love him

[@6RshEuH2]

great interview, whopping hour and half and probably could have gone longer. i don't know how ewan does it, i hope he writes a book one day cause he has so many interesting stories to tell. I felt really bad for him that American Pastoral got such harsh reviews, he really did take it to heart. :( i hope he tries again sometime. Also would absolutely love to see him do another movie with David Mackenzie, i love perfect sense and young adam.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

He is boyish as HELL. Thats rare. Hes like Tom Holland in 20 years

[@xn9tj]

funny, he played tom holland's dad in The Impossible

[@RalphRoberts1]

​@@xn9tjthey probably know that

[@xn9tj]

@@RalphRoberts1 sure i guess

[@silentknight4440]

Overdrive yes please

[@iadorakelley5025]

What is the name of the film in which Ewan travels in the desert?

[@kayeurbano3309]

Last Days in the Desert

[@Wretchrot]

39:01 What kind of sound was that? I didn't know humans could make it 😂

[@RalphRoberts1]

Sounds like a submarine sonar blip.

[@rachelprighel4409]

His hair sticks up that's why

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

I still get sad thinking he left his wife and children after all those years. Don't get it.

[@rcoles82]

His kids are grown up, he didn't leave them, what a stupid and insensitive comment. As for his wife, people fall out of love, it happens everyday.

[@rachelstark9646]

Exactly! People grow out of love…and he still cares for his children! (Just watch Long Way Up…)

[@6RshEuH2]

Have you ever stopped and really gave thought to it though beyond "hE lEfT hIs wIfE"? Both Ewan and Mary (his second wife) got married to their ex-spouses very young. Did you know Mary had been with her ex-husband since she was 18 years old? I can't imagine being married to some guy i met when i was 18. Ewan was 24 when he married Eve (29), once again very young. What worked for you as a teen or in your early 20s doesn't always work for you when you get older. people grow, mature, and change and sometimes the person you married doesn't grow with you. both Ewan and Mary were is very long relationships, so i don't think either took divorcing their spouses lightly.

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

Twenty four is not young to get married. @@6RshEuH2

[@pmo3359]

​@@6RshEuH2They obviously had an affair, which was wrong. That's also not a good way to start a relationship. Even though, they have been together for 7 years, had a child and got married. They appear to be happy in their relationship, but we never really know what goes on behind closed doors. I wish them the best
