Ewan McGregor on 'one of the roles of a lifetime' in 'A Gentleman in Moscow'

[@MelodyHoefdraad-pf7dg]

Ewan McGregor's eyes beam with kindness!

[@circagenx]

This is so surreal watching this as I worked on the series. Ewan McGregor is such a gentleman and great fun to work with. SFX Rolando

He fckd up with going for woke nonsense in this vapid tv show

[@dis2666]

I've just now finished watching the series. It was simply beautiful and affected me deeply. I never knew about the book. I even hesitated watching it; I'm so sick of Russia. But in the end, I had to see Ewan McGregor. He's one of my favorite actors. Thank you to all who brought me this story. It was a gift.

[@rebelqueen2008]

​@@Man_fay_the_Bru Stop using the word woke out of context. Just say you don't like the show and keep it moving. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Incels.....gawd

[@barbarajungbauer7000]

This show beginning-to-end was brilliant. The book was wonderful and the translation to screen was worthy of Towles story. I am going to watch it again and again.

[@MarilynValentine-c1d]

A gentleman in Moscow is an amazing book. I reread it about every 6 months. I’m so excited about this series

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Was Russia full of the brothers in the book or is that just this ridiculous show

[@bobleroe3859]

Reading this during the pandemic, I think the message is that we can be resigned or resilient.

[@johnbrown4949]

Trainspotting will always be his best film hands down.

[@79dmcjr]

Hey don't be like that

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Apart from that accent🤢Glasgow accent is cool, not the one snobby McGregor has, Edinburgh accent is bad

[@cathd4434]

Beautiful series. Incredible characters, lavish set and stunning costumes support a wonderful script and flawless acting. Couldn’t get enough of it! Can’t wait to start on the book.

[@JavaScriptJolt]

The first two episodes are perfection. Ewan McGregor does an amazing job. I’m reading the book now.

[@250f5.6]

Ewan & Mary Elisabeth are brilliant in Fargo season 3. Absolutely great acting! Looking forward to this.

[@alexwells9948]

I remember when Evan McGregor played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and his own part series on Disney+ too.

[@rosemadder5547]

I first saw him in Trainspotting when I was 12.. so in 1999. Been in love ever since 😂

That is one of my FAVOURITE books

This was a great interview! Thanks for actually asking about the series and the book...

[@jeremyblank8590]

Excellent novel to highlight how too much government (socialism, Communism) is so bad!!

[@squamish4244]

It's more about human dignity than politics. The events outside the hotel barely get a mention except that it's an oppressive regime. Communist, capitalist...same difference.

[@suomynona4607]

​@@sergeant_salty Donald Trump Jr., has appeared to confirm, saying in 2008-after the Trump Organization was prospering again-that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” Trump’s former longtime architect, Alan Lapidus, echoed this view. Lapidus said that based on what he knew from the internal workings of the organization, in the aftermath of Trump’s earlier financial troubles “he could not get anybody in the United States to lend him anything. It was all coming out of Russia. His involvement with Russia was deeper than he’s acknowledged.” Trump's favorite lender, Deutsche Bank has worked closely with Russian state institutions, and in 2015 the bank’s Russian arm was implicated in a $10 billion Russian money-laundering scheme. A 2017 report by Reuters, citing public documents, interviews and corporate records, also found that at least 63 Russians or people with Russian addresses bought nearly $100 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded Florida luxury buildings. Let me know if I should go on.

[@Sylvia44now]

So all people in the past, even Russians, spoke with a British accent?

[@79dmcjr]

Yes but also American accents in Australia during the 30s when dust bowls were taking over

[@patryot5668]

well since they made a main charcter black anything goes in this fantasy alternate world..Im assuming in this world communism won and took over.

The book was painfully long - hope the movie deals with that

‘HATS OFF’ to MS NBC. - They finally ran a story that doesn’t involve Donald Trump! / Ian McGregor is a great actor. I sure am glad he’s not political. ( In the Public’s face.). Unlike, Robert De Nero. (Which I am boycotting any of his films.).

Ewan, not Ian.
