His Trainspotting story is hilarious😂 “I’m about to know you a whole lot better”
5:11 No matter how people feel about the Prequels, everyone agrees that Ewan was one of the best parts of them.
He and Ian Mcdarmid made the prequels.
THE best part! 🤗🤗
So was Hayden. I don't care what anyone says he was literally perfect as Anakin.
He's one of the best things in all of Star Wars, it's so endearing that he still often denotes Alec as the definitive Obi-Wan in his mind, when I would easily wager for most it's been Ewan for a long time, of course no shade to Alec there.
@@JedidiahRose1 As cool as Guinness's portrayal was, Alec himself was less than impressed with the role (tbf, he did not live to see the phenomenon the series became), and could not understand the Star Wars fervor happening when Episode IV: A New Hope premiered in 1977.
Ewan, on the other hand, has been reverent about the role's history, and his part in the endurance of the character.
He will forever be Obi-Wan to those who love Star Wars: not a bad legacy to have! 💓💓✨✨
The scene between of Obi saying sorry is delivered so perfectly, it felt like real catharsis to experience that the first time after years of negativity around the prequels. Thank you Ewan and Hayden!
One of the tapes on the table says Moulin Rouge 😩
Yes! i love all the things covered in this video, but i really wanted to see him comment on Moulin Rouge (and Big Fish!)
@@Dr_Bombay Love both those movies - Big Fish is the only Tim Burton movie I get on with funnily enough
Need a part two
Definitely go watch the interview he did opposing Nicole Kidman. They go into it there quite a bit
@@HollyRobertsMusicI totally agree
Trainspotting is one of those rare movies (like Shawshank Redemption) where it's so bleak you're not expecting a happy ending and preparing yourself for the worst outcome but when you do get the best resolution, it feels appreciated and actually earned and not cliche at all.
you should read the book by Irvine Welsh if you enjoyed the movie!
Happy ending?
ITS SHITE BEING SCOTTISH
Ewan has such a vast and diverse catalog that it would take 90 minutes to cover them all. Yes, please!
"Choose life." "Trainspotting" was the first project I ever watched Ewan in, and I knew that he was poised to be a big star. He completely embodied the role of Renton.
Love Ewan. His Long Way Round was the inspiration for me to get my motorcycle license and travel around the Baltic Sea.
Ewan McGregor, Keanu Reeves, Charlie Hunnam, and Norman Reedus should do an epic motorcycle ride together and film it. That would be so fun.
Ikh
His range of shows and movies is incredible hearing him talk about obi Wan makes me so happy
Hopefully you get Hayden to do one of these soon
A friend of mine in France was one of the special effects creators for Trainspotting, they used a pool belonging to the Navy to film in by Glasgow. Regarding the coloured dyes that were used in it. As local swimming pools wouldn’t allow the dyes to be used in their public pools. He also created the baby that crawled on the ceiling in Trainspotting.
Really wanted Ewan to talk about Big Fish and singing in Moulin Rouge
Love that he talked about Long Way Round cos that is one of my favourite projects he's done
I love all three of those documentaries. So interesting!
Nice touch by putting the jedi holocron on the table.
Many actors say they never watch any of their own films. Ewan made an interesting choice with the toilet because ‘back in the day’ it was prominent in all Trainspotting trailers, shown with every Indie movie of the time 😌😌
It’s a shame he didn’t discuss Doctor Sleep.
That’s my favourite film.
Doctor sleep RULES.
LOL it sucked
@@urbanexplorer3059Most disagree
@@Tipsy.42 sucked
@urbanexplorer3059 If all you have to say is "sucked," you gotta be young. You can avoid the truth as much as you want. The majority liked the movie. One word answers are for children lol
I'll always be a stan for Ewan. Side note, it'll be 20 years since Long Way Round first aired in October. Wish someone had asked if there are plans for a 20th anniversary special for this iconic series.
Watched Trainspotting at the cinema way back in the day. It's incredible what a career he went on to have. ❤
i love how proud he was over his U-bend idea. and that smile at the end. love that dude! wish he talked about Son of a gun, on of my favorites with him.
No Moulin Rouge?😫
😭
Exactly: his best, in my opinion.
I have a theory about that: he enjoyed being a musical theatre star with the singing and the emoting; and I truly believe that he and Nicole had an affair of the heart and of the body. Then he went on to do musicals in the West End and another movie in which he sung that got panned. So he put that chapter behind him.
@@traceythompson1092 Have the same thought about the affair.
Not having Moulin Rouge is a crime. Speaking of Moulin Rouge they should get Nicole Kidman to do one of these..she has had such a variety of roles over the years.
Love him. WE NEED KENOBI SEASON 2! The last episode I waited decades for. Also with Hayden and quigon
LIMITED series dude. There IS NO season 2
@@dylanrinker6831 Have you not seen all the Star Wars content. It's literally endless with these people. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a season 2.
@@Jake-vh6jp they literally confirmed IT WONT HAPPEN!
no we dont lol
Loved the Kenobi show so much. They really cooked. And Ewan was always great as Obi-Wan!
I’ll always appreciate Ewan for his performance as Obi Wan, but I recently got into the Long Way series and it is incredible
Gotta love him. He’s in so many movies and he’s a bloody legend
I have seriously been "in love" with him for last the 25 years. I don't think I'll ever get over him.
It’s strange I finished rewatching Long Way Round 2 days ago and didn’t expect to see it featured here. If you haven’t seen his 3 bike trips around the world I really recommend them.
I would love to see hear his thoughts over Moulin Rouge: my favorite.
Shallow Grave is a masterpiece.
He also grew his own mustache in Miss Potter. I Love that movie!!❤❤
3:22 wise to cut there 😂
Trainspotting-best film ever-starring my favorite human, Ewan.
i haven't watched Kenobi (show) yet, but i found a fan cut to make it a film, and i'm very excited to watch that
3:22 "Well, maybe not" 😆
PS. 'The Ghost Writer' has a special place in my heart as the film starring my favourite Bond and the one I wish had done it the most. Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor are both great in that film, I've seen it too many times to count. That and 'Beginners', one of my all-time favourites!
He tea bagged poor Brian 😔
😂😂😂
Amazing actor!
Ewan's always been a a treasure and his notes here on his works keep him shining!
What a great and genuine lad
No Big Fish? As rough as that movie is its one of my favorite Ewan roles
Down with Love! He sings!
I loved that movie; but the critics panned it.
I loved that movie but the critics panned it.
Okay, now I want to see Ahmed Best as Kelleran Beq cross paths with Ewan McGegor as Obi-Wan Kenobi
I love Ewan Mcgregor in star wars
A gentleman in Moscow exterior scenes used our beautiful townhall in Bolton in the UK
Great actor, watch Fargo!
The obi wan series was amazing
Gosh I love these gosh I love ewan!
Sad they didn't do moulin Rouge😢 that's when I first fell in love with him as an actor 😍
One of the greats
Loveeeee omggg kenobi was amazing I wish it would’ve been a movie😩 love ewan!
Great roles listed
His gift is his song 🎵 😍 and this ones for us
Fargo S3 is so underrated
He should rewatch The Ghost Writer. His best role.
Trainspotting… BRILLIANT 👌🏼
A movie should be on obiwan childhood and Qui gon and obi wan journey to Mandalorian.
A series on 10 years after ep 3 please make it
Respect for obi
Pillow book by Peter Greenway deserves a mention too.
And Young Adam, as well
I genuinely don’t know why the prequels get the hate they do sometimes. The only problems I ever saw with them is Anakin and Padmes age gap and being too sad to watch the last one more than once because Padme dies. I think Padme should have been a little younger or Anakin should have been a little older for it to make a little more sense after they fast forward on his maturing. Besides that though, I love them
I loved the Obi-Wan series. They should have aged him up more, though. My only critique. He should have had grey patches in his hair, at least. The series only takes place 6 years (ish) before A New Hope. His life must have been reeeeeeeeeeeally hard for those 6 years for the character to appear so much older in Episode 4. Continuity is important.
Love his accent
Saludos ewan yo soy OSVI ONE similar like you ❤ love
When are you all doing one of these interviews with Hayden Christensen?
Ewan should play the role of I Davros!!!!!. Prequel to Genesis of the Daleks.
I always thought it was weird when Ewan was on Fargo how he was he nailed the voice of Ray but sounded Irish half the time as Emmet.
Hello there 😮
Fargo 🔥
The islad part 2 Please
Gorgeous human
3:30 Darth Vader comes to Obi Wan and says "have you come to destroy me" when he was the one who tracked him down in the first place :D
Don't understand why the prequels got panned so hard. They're rough around the edges, but I say that gives them character 🤔
Is that some kind of pastel lament configuration?
No Big Fish? :(
When is Obi returning to Disney+?
probably never as it was awful and no one watched it
I was kinda expecting to see him talk about Angels and Demons or The Impossible.
Last time, watch Fargo!
If Kenobi was a movie it would have been better. It would hopefully have cut out the bad parts.
no moulin rouge?😢
Too bad they didn't feature the intense "The Impossible" movie.
the baby scene in trainspotting still freaks me out
Such a nice, normal chap
I went straight to the comments after looking at the chapter names.
No Moulin Rouge?
I'm not watching. 💯
Wow, so he really was a *great* deal more attached to Ray Stussy as a character and playing that role, rather than Emmitt. Fascinating. Ray was definitely the better and more complex and intriguing character.
Hello there, Master of Trolling, Kenobi
The sequels made us appreciate the prequels more.
Did claudio a bit dirty
“hello there”
You forgot the rise and fall of little voice.
We definitely should have gotten a movie, I feel like that whole kid Leia and Reva/third sister thing was just filler to extend into a 6 episode show. A film would have been a more focused story
ewan i need you
Never understood the 10 second spoiler at the start. For trailers, makes sense for ads, but in a video like this where it isn’t ever an ad, it’s just lame
Moscow 😂really
👍
Beginners? Moulin Rouge!??
Trainspotting, watched it once, never again . . . horrifically real . . .
I need obi wan as a waiter though
im thoroughly upset that moulin rouge wasnt included
Of they kept it on worh obi won drunk and letting himself get beat would ahve been heartbreaking
Seriously? No Moulin Rouge?
He forgot to talk about Big fish.
