Ewan McGregor is my absolute favourite actor.
He's talented, handsome and he do all kinds of roles.
I think the last part is what makes him my favourite. He can do anything and sure does it too! From junkie to bisexual rock star to Jedi to clone to psychiatrist to singing writer. And he doesn't seem to be shy to do anything on screen either. He kisses men, run around naked, fight invisible enemies and oh my god, he can sing!
I think it was Mouline Rouge that made me fall in love with this awesome actor. That voice, he could sure have become a singer if he wanted (although I'm so happy he decided to act instead... well, now he does both in Guys and Dolls, but that's not the point).
Another thing is that he seems so funny and loving. I've seen documentaries/behind-the-scenes where people always talk fondly of him. How he brightens up the place and stuff. And of course, he always speaks well of his co-stars. (I remember him saying "She's a tough cookie. I love her to pieces" about Scarlett Johanson for example...very sweet)
Yet another sing that's so lovable about him is that he seems to act for the fun of it, and not for the money. Many actors stick to the big Hollywood movies when they've become well-known. But not Ewan, no. He has been playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars (my favourites btw), some of the biggest movies out there, and now he decides to record a small low-budget movie in Britain playing a gay man. Just for the love for acting.
And his Scottish, how charming isn't that?
When "The Island" premiered and it didn't bring in as much money as they expected they blamed it on using "not stars of today, but stars of tomorrow". I can agree that Scarlett is a star of tomorrow, cause she sure is rising. But Ewan? He certainly is a star of today!
Speaking of The Island and Star Wars. I am always amazed by how this 34 year old actor can go from portraying a middle age war-torn Jedi to a naive 20-year old clone. Within the same year... and doing it very good! He almost seems ageless.
Anyway, he is amazing and I'm so looking forward to his future movies!
