MOVIE TRIVIA …
EWAN MCGREGOR
Hates Clueless: "I hated Clueless (1995) with a passion. I thought it would have been a really good film if someone had blown her head off at the end with a really huge gun. I mean, this rich bitch suddenly becomes charitable and then she's okay? And then there's the token black friend. It was so corrupt, so L.A., I hated it."
He actually dropped out of school because his mother wanted him to.
Was considered to play James Bond in Casino Royale (2006).
Is short sighted, but he had a laser eye operation to improve his eyesight, so he didn't have to wear glasses or contact lenses anymore.
Considered for the role of Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003).
Refused to have his wife and kids visit him on the set of Black Hawk Down (2001), because he felt the content was too violent and too bloody for them to see.
Is very particular about his children being photographed or seen on television. He strongly believes that just because he is famous, that should not give anyone the right to invade their privacy.
Ewan and his wife Eve have the same initials, even with her maiden name.
Originally auditioned for the role of Mercutio in the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet (1996). He later got his chance to work with "Romeo" director Baz Luhrmann when he was cast as Christian in Moulin Rouge! (2001).
Was originally up for the lead role in The Beach (2000/I), which would have reunited him with director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge who collaborated with McGregor on Shallow Grave (1994), Trainspotting (1996) and A Life Less Ordinary (1997). The role went to Leonardo DiCaprio. While McGregor blames studio influence for the casting decision he has not spoken to either Boyle nor Hodge since.
