Ewan McGregor has not aged a fucking day since Revenge of the Sith.

[@mickys333]

+chknrsandTBBTROX73 He really hasn't, has he? I remember seeing him when he was on the graham norton show and they were talking about how that movie was 26 or something years ago and they showed a picture. Not a single day man, it was as if that picture was taken 2 days ago man. Him and Keanu i swear.

+mickys333 revenge of the sith was made in 2005

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="207">03:27</a> Ewan and Jeff moving their heads at the same is priceless

They are like wtf. Charles is dumb as a bell.

[@wctrqn]

Mr Delaney Charles has been hit in head by a ball too many times

[@fetB]

ikr, this scene is one of the great pieces of TV history

[@TheShyamnambiar]

Yup.. This should be a GIF

[@NNJAZ]

Four words... "karate kid"

[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

LMFAO

[@demamp]

It's almost as bad as, "Whats 9 + 10.... 21"

[@nieznanyx]

technically it is 4 .. ka - ra - te - kid ;)

When they got Titanic, I half expected Ewan and Jimmy to stand behind each other and spread out their arms...

[@user-sx5xu4xz4j]

Me too 😂

[@francodepp8527]

Lol This isn't friends

[@luciabreccia1901]

I'm a simple woman, I see Ewan and I press play.

[@maheshnerurkar2683]

Lucia Breccia most of them have pressed play button. You know what not only women's but men also.

[@fredmiller2572]

Wtf's that got to do with simple?

[@maddiegt8177]

PREACH 🙏

[@Terry-wo4up]

he‘s so hot tbh

[@ifihadahammer7856]

Same here. Well, I'm not a woman :) His smile melts me.

[@stefaniejordan3557]

Ewan: "The man who mistook his wife for a hat". - Those are the kind of books I read. Loved it!

[@PricefieldPunk]

"The man who mistook his wife for a hat" lol

[@aimeecross2584]

SUCH A GOOD BOOK

[@mamiluisamia]

Such a funny title

[@ClaireClips]

I haven't watched the full video...... I'm SO confused!!!!!

[@marquesgoncalves]

That actually exists lol

[@brettgreene9492]

It's a book by Oliver Sachs.

[@thomasblasczak7344]

The way Ewan McGregor pronounces "The Cat in the Hat" is so sexy.

[@lennonacid]

+Thomas Blasczak Hell yeah!

[@khantasticgaming9311]

Thomas Blasczak he said the cat and the hat. Doubt most noticed

[@carowells1607]

lol

[@carlakinsella3833]

Sooo sexy growl

[@jiteshjangid369]

And then jeff missed his fist bump

[@cherylstuder237]

Jimmy: (4words) Charles:"Hey, hey, Karate Kid" Me:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@marianna1513]

Ewan is such a good looking man! And he sings! My legs get weak with this man, and his accent to die for.

[@sigbausage3116]

He probably can't sing

[@volcancism.a.d6010]

Kim Eriksson He's in beauty and the beast, so he probably can sing.

[@marianna1513]

Volcanis Marvel and DC haha yup! And in Moulin rouge... So yeah he can sing.

[@moha663]

and he walks on water

[@vamanosninja4143]

Marianna P You summed up everything good about him. ;)

[@KM-117]

the force is strong with ewan

[@claudiatalbott111]

Yes!

[@taifhamid1]

4 words, Karate Kid ROFL

[@mibella]

+taifhamid1 He didn't know how to play Charades.. despite that he said that he did.. It was obvious he didn't understand the gestures. Can't all assume everyone has played or remember how to play Charades..

[@taifhamid1]

Amalika Fau i didn't know it existed before watching jimmy fallon as well, but 4 words does not translate into Karate kid, i don't care what excuse there is lol

[@mibella]

He said 4 then thought it was 3 words... when Jimmy meant 3rd wprd

[@Matt_Underwood]

+taifhamid1 You Stupid!

[@taifhamid1]

Matt Underwood hmm you can't write proper English and i'm stupid xD

[@hiitsmiya]

i love ewan so much i think i died

[@linajurgensen4698]

[@_Ritsikas_]

Hows the after life?

[@Charizarzar]

Ritsikas - I think she misses Ewan

[@angeld3654]

Agreed! Love ewan!

[@XiadiZhai]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="208">3:28</a> when they just both look at Charles like 'man you okay'

[@juliab.350]

Ivan Popovic dude your comment cracked me up so hard I can't thank you enough

[@wctrqn]

He's been hit in the head by a ball too many times!!

[@JerseyLoveee]

This was the best/worst game of charades on this show.

[@TomasiAkimeta]

oh man, 4 words "KARATE KID" HAHAHAHA!!! Man, that killed me

[@KiNGxLua]

Tomasi Akimeta "The Karate Kid" 3 words! lol

[@blibliblublu2901]

[@spencerbrickles1929]

I hope I'm as cool as Ewan McGregor when I get to that age

[@berkeley3628]

I love that Ewan and Jeff sit on the couch so calmly and just watch Charles and Jimmy yell 💀😂

I can hear ewan mcgregor say "cat in the hat" forever ❤️

[@Dianimations_]

ikr !!!!

[@biancaispunk6407]

[@samirani9636]

wow, Ewan McGregor is such a gentleman

[@kboehmer1]

I watched this solely to see Ewan be a gentleman and he never disappoints. Great actor, super nice human.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="435">7:15</a> Ewan's Reaction was priceless when jimmy missed the handshake 😂😂😂 i died laughing

[@Chr1st8l]

So right, so funny hahaha

[@lynne_with_an_e]

Something about the way Ewan says "The Cat in the Hat".😍😍😍

[@advocatefish3562]

That "Ice ice baby" had me dying. Charles is awful at this game.

[@irg19]

+advocatefish d I know right? Why not pretend to hold a baby lol

[@88CDawg]

+Inga Rós Vatnsdal I think cause he was trying to get Jimmy to say the word ice before doing the motion for baby.

[@sarahsinghakaterimaadi8168]

+Christopher Lee If its not working you move to the next word lol

[@cateylove123]

Lol they started booing him

[@jecarriesmoutherson6188]

no, Jimmy almost got caught cheating at the beginning so he had to pretend he didn't know the answer. Charles clearly held up 3 fingers, but Jimmy said "frozen" and many other songs except for ones with 3 words. I mean it is his show he could already know what's up there and have an advantage over the other guests by going off his memory and it all depends on how good his partners give him hints.

[@JeremyCuddles]

Left Ewan hanging on that hand shake. Lol. I love Ewan McGregor, good guy.

[@davidwest5847]

Lol I noticed that too 😂😂😂

[@drarry13]

And the fist bump as well!

[@persebra]

He didnt leave him hanging on purpose, he just didnt see him, and shook hands seconds later.

[@JeremyCuddles]

per sebra I know it wasn't on purpose it was just funny to see.

[@lenniedavis1294]

LMAO wasnt the first time. At around 5:30 in the clip he tried to fist bump but got left hanging again. :P

[@EdeLovesGerrard]

I've replayed <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="207">3:27</a> about 34 times now

and now am doing the same

[@fetB]

I've bookmarked it xD

[@nicolegeorge3704]

They so cute

[@saralang7433]

i dont care how old ewan is still super hot but, he was even cuter when he was in moulin rouge and that voice! i cant even put in words how much i love it!

[@happyeonwoo]

it feels like ewan gets hotter every day idk

[@tatianadavidson5271]

Yup

+Greg Gammago he wishes

[@ginny177]

+Silmarien Ingoldo If he looked always like that :D yes...crush again

[@TophatTalulah]

+Silmarien Ingoldo He's filming in Pittsburgh and I hung around set one night when he was shooting outside. I saw him from maybe 300 yards away, couldn't even make out his face, but I could still tell it was him. He was literally glowing. He is the embodiment of perfection.

[@alyctus]

TophatTalulah hahaha I'm jealous you saw him *.*

[@aabidamn]

Loved how at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="207">3:27</a> Ewan and Jeff awaited Barkley's reaction.

[@TheSimplePerspective]

Was hilarious😂

[@fockingreat1125]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="25">0:25</a> omg Ewan winked at him lmao I never noticed before

[@liudizzle]

Now I see why Barkley chose basketball as a career

[@damiengarbutt7229]

🤣 True dat. I suffered second hand embarrassment after this.

[@Be1smaht]

He is not smart

[@Be1smaht]

Hes sweet thougg

[@asiadorsey3214]

I love Ewan's smile

[@AleahKCH]

For myself, I dream for the amount of confidence that Charles had when he said Karate Kid.

[@jordanc9856]

he was too confident with that answer LOL "THAT was YOUR clue??? That was aouful (awful, purposely spelled it the way he said it xD)

[@pungirl101]

this is the best comment i've ever seen in my life

[@alimahfouz6149]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a> & <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="436">7:16</a> , left it hanging 😂

[@ruperoo]

[@kadencecrew5831]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="231">3:51</a> I can just imagine Ewan McGregor saying in his head “what the hell I’d this man doing?” XD

[@EvelynRobinson22]

This is the best! I was laughing so hard at Jimmy getting fake angry, I was crying lol

[@splashpont]

LOL Fake laughing, fake angry.....

[@EvelynRobinson22]

Never said anything about fake laughing...I love Jimmy's laugh

[@kyinu]

i don't think he was faking...

[@SmoothMM]

cottoncandydiva Some commenters think Jimmy is fake laughing too... As if the guy is only fake and doesn't enjoy anyone, anytime, at any place.

[@EvelynRobinson22]

Mikel Moon ikr because it's so impossible that someone could enjoy themselves that much!

[@nuwanda3333]

Really impressed that Evan McGregor knows The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Damn.

[@lethersing5909]

Ewan McGregor is such a lovely gentleman... I so respect and admire him!

looked for this in the comments lol it was painful to watch

[@MrMorganfarts]

Charles Barkley, although a nice enough seeming guy, is not the brightest bulb on the Hanukkah tree.

[@sarita-.-5153]

+MrMorganfarts Lmao When he says in this tubelight response 'THE KARATE KID' I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard

[@sarita-.-5153]

***** Ah, my mistake. I meant to type tubelight...

[@carowells1607]

I'm sure his famous teleprompter reading of "I'm a dumbass" must have been uploaded to KZbin.

First one wasnt fair. Jimmy took Ewans time by making jokes

[@toastedflatbreadasiagoranc4519]

IGarrettI they never play these things to win. It's for entertainment.

[@IGarrettI]

Northern Defiant It's not about winning, but being fair. He's not even funny

[@toastedflatbreadasiagoranc4519]

IGarrettI IMO, i think jimmy is the funniest talk show host today. Bottom line is, whining about the game not being fair is just childish. It's just for fun.

[@IGarrettI]

Northern Defiant Nothing childish about it, just a good sport. Whatever you think bro, I didnt like it

[@dthompson1313]

+IGarrettI He does that a lot. It's for entertainment but he takes up so much time with antics sometimes. He does it for all the games he plays.....it was cute and then it got annoying...I mean you can have fun with it but at least get a couple rounds in since it's so short as it is.

[@TheOneTrueErica]

I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. It was like watching Family Feud when you know the answers. I was bouncing in my seat yelling at them. Ewan McGregor was so sweet and polite throughout, and Jimmy insulting and being insulted by his teammate for not getting the clues was funny as hell.

[@sanjithechef]

ewan missed a fist bump and a handshake,atleast hes beautiful

[@vikramdhillonvikram]

Ewan's such a gentleman, Jimmy's uncultured !! 😋🤣🤣

[@BinkyTheElf1]

I like the fact that when Ewen saw how nervous the band-guy was, he was cool about it. He is a gentleman and not a big-headed Superstar.

[@cranjusmcbasketball8718]

one does not simply ignore the knuckles that Ewan McGregor wants to give you at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="331">5:31</a> !!! Ewan is such an awesome guy, this is the first time I'm watching an interview/talk show where he is in it

[@IndigoSky42]

I lost it when Jimmy pretended to count how many words were in "Karate Kid".

[@stargwynn1]

“The man who mistook his wife for a hat. Those are the kind of books I read” didn’t think I could love him more. One of my favorite books

[@perennialmisfit]

I like how Ewan picked up on Jimmy knowing the first answer. Literally the only clue given was "Bride".

[@ChuchusHuee]

That face of confident.. " Hey!! Karate Kid! " Jimmy was like " Wtf?? 4 words!! " Hahaha that had me hard XD

[@ChuchusHuee]

yeahh real badd..

[@Lewigicfc99]

Why didn't he just use a jedi mind trick?

[@nomad1716]

Jimmy's happiness is contagious. He takes whole game to new level altogether.

[@lawful_neutral]

Ewan's reaction to Jimmy's cold shoulder for Ewan's first 'good luck' handshake was priceless.

[@Bombtrack411]

lol @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="207">3:27</a> when Jeff and Ewan both look at Charles at the same time.

[@ilcapitano555]

alternative titles for this video: 1. chuck being chuck 2. obi wan left hanging. twice. 3. titanic saves jimmy and chuck. 4. three men and a baby in chuck's belly

[@saraautio5693]

Ewan McGregor is just such a delight man, I feel like he's the exact type of person I would love to be friends with.

Never leave someone hanging with that handshake.
