What’s eating Ewan McGregor?
Well, whatever it is, I think it’s time to have it checked out by a professional:
The charmless actor [Ewan McGregor] suffered a serious sense-of-humour failure at the premiere of his latest film - and threw a hissy fit when asked about criticisms of his American accent in The Island. […]
Our mole goes on: “A blonde girl asked him if he’d be sticking to his Scottish accent in future. Ewan was taken aback, but answered that he had “no plans” to abandon the US accent. He seemed to be carrying on with his red-carpet duties as normal.”
But the thesp is obviously not one to let things lie.
We’re told: “A few minutes later he marched back to the girl and snarled: “Thank you for bringing that up - you’ve ruined my evening!” before storming off.
“Not long after this one of the event’s organisers told the girl she had to leave,” says our mole.
And while the reporter was packing up to go, a US toady got in on the act.
“The guy was incandescent with rage and called the girl a ‘f***ing a***hole’ and said she was banned from all future premieres, which seemed an incredible over-reaction”.
A spokeswoman for McGregor later gave a rambling explanation for the actor’s behaviour.
“There had been an unfounded criticism made to Ewan by an agency reporter, to which Ewan politely replied that he was sorry she’d asked that question as it had taken the shine off his night.
She then added that the agency reporter is a ‘f***ing a***hole’ before storming off.
