    Ewan McGregor talking about being blown away by Wild at Heart and Dream Scenario. And his daughter a genuine Cage fan. Just brilliant.

    I was at Megacon this past weekend and got a photo with him. That is TOTALLY the vibe I got from him! A true gentleman who genuinely cared about meeting his fans.
  • @defadus7210
    Such a wholesome story, the girl who saved up money to meet him at megacon and gave him the letter saying it was such a huge moment in her life but only a tiny moment for him… I really hope she sees this interview, because that interaction clearly had an impact and meant a lot for Ewan as well ❤
  • @hyperion3354
    No wonder he fitted Obi Wan role so perfectly, he's like real life Jedi, at lest ideology, he helps in so many charities its amazing that he has time to make movies.
  • @vrvaughn
    His documented motorcycle trips are well worth seeing…
  • @TheEnnisfan
    Been a fan of Ewan's since Shallow Grave. What a career he's had and continues to have.
  • @josephtovar3941
    I am a life long motorcyclist and love Ewan's motorcycle documentaries... Then add all his great movies it makes it way to easy to admire him so much.
  • @TeamVEDEL
    Ewan is my all-time favorite actor, I am so glad he's still holding the youthful Looks and fun spirits. My favorite film of him was a long bike-ride across Europe to Monoline... I am happy he's living a good life.

    I can honestly say Ewan McGregor was never a part of the problems that made the prequels had. he was one of the things Lucas got right. He did, and has done, such a great job merging what Alec Guinness had done while at the same time growing the character in a predicable, yet interesting way. Kudos to you good sir!
  • @jackson857
    I loved this whole interview. Always good to hear Ewan talk about Star Wars and Clara seems delightful as well. Ewan also acted alongside one of his other daughters, Esther, in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
  • @pattylyman7907
    Ewan in Fargo was outstanding as his character and his brothers character.
  • I was around Ewan and Mary a bit around that difficult time. They were both so deeply kind to me. I have some solid memories with Ewan and he was so down to earth. Major major car enthusiast, especially with restoring old Volkswagens. He showed me this vintage VW truck he was restoring. It was a gorgeous vehicle.

    Ewan was a gentlemen at celebration. We had a photo opp and even though the limit was a family of 4 (we were a family of 5) the handlers was going to stop our 10yr old from the group photo. Ewan told them no, let all of them in. One of the best photo’s we took together as a family. Obi Wan Kenobi, thank you for the memories! The force was strong that day
  • @lizi.2503
    I melted in under a minute. ❤❤❤😍 Ewan’s voice hasn’t changed at ALL! 😮 I’d love to hear him sing more often!
  • @ericthompson3982
    He's done some of the most bizarre and interesting movies I've ever seen. Love this guy.
  • @Sheldon1985
    I was at Star Wars Celebration last year and of all the amazing things that I saw there, my favourite thing was simply being somewhere with thousands of other people who loved Star Wars as much as I do and it really put the negativity that's seemingly everywhere into perspective because it's just a very vocal minority who will always be outnumbered, and I'm so grateful to have had the experience.
