Brilliant. Another British actor who is a success in Hollywood is having a whine about how unhappy he is with life in general in the UK. The rest of us have to put up with the grind of day-to-day life, while Ewan McGregor twats about on a motorbike AGAIN for a few months yet still feels the need to complain about life in general and Britain specifically.
Ewan is publicising the fact that he has twatted about on a motorcycle in Africa (the fucking hero) though he gets some sympathy for having to spend that amount of time with Charley Boorman, a man who avoided getting hit by the personality stick by several continents, in their latest series 'Long Way Down'.
Of course, Ewan is so vocal because this thought has just popped into his political little head, and not because he has a new series to sell. Hence his decision to whine to Radio Times rather than to the Socialist Worker.
"Our trip opened my eyes to how insane the rules are in Britain - CCTV cameras everywhere, congestion charge - a ludicrous nanny state. If anything drives me out of the country it will be that - not tax, I don't earn enough."
A statement which sounds awfully familiar. As does Ewan's accent recently. He truly is the Sir Sean Connery of our generation. The same nasal whinings, the same diminished movie career and hopefully Ewan will complete the set by fucking off to Marbella and playing golf until he diesh! Yesh! I exshpect you to die, Mishter McGregor!
