As corny as it sounds, today is my 3 year "anniversary" with Ewan. [laughs] Ah yes exactly 3 years ago today, I watched

I agree as well with your statement about Star Wars. I also first saw him in the Tales from the Crypt episode and then Trainspotting. But the movie that did me in was Eye of the Beholder. I'm also a huge fan of Ashley Judd which is why I fell in love with both of them. That movie just has so many layers to me. There is something about that movie that just gets me going and I either cry or just kinda shake. I just can't stop seeking out all of Ewan's movies. I've seen almost all of them but Scarlet & the Black is hard to find.
So many great roles he has played. I love the off beat ones that no one ever mentions like Pillow Book. Its always about Star Wars or Moulin Rouge. But don't get me wrong, I do love those too. -

I don't know exactly how long ago it was, I'm guestimating about 3 years ago that my best friend showed me Long Way Round on dvd. LWD hadn't come out yet so I know it had to have been pre-07. Anyway, I didn't expect to like it all that much, but the more I watched, and the more Ewan's beautiful blonde beard filled in the more you got to know his personality and humor and see all that he and Charley went through as they biked around the world by about half way through I was completely hooked. I was struck by his lovliness, again, his sense of humor, his bursting into song in Russia, the cameraderie that he and Charley shared Ewan just seemed to be such a decent guy with a big heart so that won me over most of all.

15 years ago. I snuck in to the front room when I was 6 to watch Shallow Grave, because my parents said I wasn't allowed, and I wasn't going to stand for THAT! (Yes, I was that kind of kid.) Luckily for me and my psyche, I fell asleep at the very beginning, and woke up to Christopher Eccleston smacking Kerry Fox. When Ewan defended her and got stabbed, I was worried for him. When I saw what he'd done with the money I admired him, even though I had NO idea what the hell the plot was, (it was the music!) And it was Star Wars 1 in the cinema when I loved him. Sighs!

Everyone's stories are so damn cute! haha wow I can't believe the number of years for all of you and I've only got 3 under my belt. And to who ever said "I like have actors all to myself" (I'm sorry I'm7ec writing the reply and too lazy to go see who it was) Yes it certainly is! I was telling my mom that he was just on Letterman the other day and then ellen yesterday and she said "What? He is trying to be an actor now?" and I'm like "Mom! He's done other talk shows"
More and more people are finding out about himI'm not liking it. No no I'm kinding but it is funny though, my uncle called me before and said "I just finished listening to the radio and their was an interview on with your friend Ewan McGregor" and I'm like "WHAT STATION!" he said "I listened to it during the day, he seems like a pretty good guy. He didn't sound like a jerk at all. He was very nice and cool." I'm like "That's my Ewan!"
My uncle said they talked about Othello alot, and like every one of his movies. He said that Ewan said his favorite at the moment is when he plays a gay lover. I said "Yeah thats 'I Love You Phillip Morris'" He wants to see it now. Then my uncle finally says, "hes been in SO many movies" and I said "Yup, and I've seen them all."
Oh Ewan McGregor, why must you be so adorably perfect?

Well, I experienced the 60s, so I'm much older than you. Therefore, I have loved Ewan McGregor since the brilliant and disturbing little film called "Trainspotters." And the other day I realized that he did much of the solo singing in "Moulin Rouge" and almost died of love. What a voice. The Celts are notable for their singing, and that beautiful man from Glasgow (who did an amazing interview with Craig Ferguson, also Glaswegean recently)is no exception to the rule. The Scots may not be as famous for their singing as the Irish and the Welsh, but Ewan blew me away with his voice! Check out the soundtrack to that movie. I guarantee you'll be a puddle on the floor when he sings "This is Your Song" by Elton John, or some hack pianist like that. LOL

Hmmm for as long as I can remember! I don't even know when it started, probably with Trainspotting but I was too young to really get that film - just thought he was pretty! He's always been one of my favourite actors, can't pin-point from when. I've only really appreciated it as I've got older though, and watched back at older stuff like Shallow Grave and Life Less Ordinary. Just brilliant.

Only just recently (the past 12 months or so) since rediscovering my complete Star Wars obsession. (Complete SciFi geek)
And seeing how long some of you have been nutty about him makes me feel like a little kid. (I recently turned 20!) -

I think it was Big Fish for me when it first came out, but I've crazy about him for so long that I can't remember if it was before that, lol. I think he's the b68only actor where I've seen almost everything he's ever made, even the really old obscure ones. He is definitely my favorite actor of all time. Down With Love is definitely up there in my fav.'s of his, but I think Trainspotting and Moulin Rouge are probably tied for first
