That’s a cruel and unusual punishment making him watch Obi-wan. That being said, he was great playing two roles in Fargo.

  he literally says they drafted some ideas (the whole waiter thing) and then changed it, like him being part of the decision and idea

“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.

Must be gutting for him to watch Obi Wan knowing it’s in no way his fault why it sucked so bad….

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 ????????

Love Ewan. His Long Way Round was the inspiration for me to get my motorcycle license and travel around the Baltic Sea.

Ewan has such a vast and diverse catalog that it would take 90 minutes to cover them all. Yes, please!

Too bad they didn’t feature the intense “The Impossible” movie.

If Kenobi was a movie it would have been better. It would hopefully have cut out the bad parts.

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

Ewan McGregor, Keanu Reeves, Charlie Hunnam, and Norman Reedus should do an epic motorcycle ride together and film it. That would be so fun.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
