Ewan McGregor covers the newest issue of GQ Men’s Style or GQ Style or whatever this is. I can’t say I’m in love with the cover image, but I do like the rest of the pictorial. I think we’re supposed to look at Ewan with those flowers as some kind of romantic hero, a lovely lad who will wait patiently and bring you flowers and be respectful. But the way Ewan is inappropriately touching and stroking the petals of the flowers IN EVERY PHOTO is making me think dirty thoughts. Ewan knows how to rile a lady up, doesn’t he? This is not a respectful, patient gentleman. This is a dude who will bang you senseless in a gazebo. Surrounded by innocent flower! Flowers that think you’re kind of slutty.
Okay, now I have to show you the trailer for Ewan’s newest movie called The Impossible. It comes out in America in limited release in December, possibly so it could be an awards contender. I went into watching this trailer knowing only that it was about a family vacationing in Asia in 2004 when the tsunami struck. I ended up balls-out crying within one minute of the trailer. So… just prepare yourselves. Get a tissue ready. The film also stars Naomi Watts and three extraordinary-looking young actors. OMG.
*hands everyone a tissue* I TOLD YOU.

I like most of the pics, but his nose looks kind of fake in the cover – it hardly looks like him, to me.

Is it just me or does his head look HUGE in some of these pics?

I have loved Ewan for fifteen years, so don’t get me wrong, but it’s that HAIRCUT. It is so unflattering!! He is EFFING gorgeous but that haircut, like you said, makes his head look off somehow.

The GQ cover is weird… But also yes I’m used to see him bearing facial hair and a bit scruffy.
I met him at San Sebastian film festival last September, he’s so funny and nice and oh yes gorgeous! Always had a thing for him since Big Fish… Aye give me that Scot AnytimeMorningNoonEvening!
P.S : The Impossible is very poignant, recommended

Since Big Fish?? Step aside girlfriend. I’ve been after him since Trainspotting so I’m ahead of you in line.

Me too! Since Trainspotting…seen most of his movies. He’s been in some really good indie movies. He’s gorgeous!!! His accent….he’s so chatty and funny. Love him. I cried balls out when I saw the Beginners last year. And damn, he’s Obi-Wan. Respect aye.
Him banging you senseless in a gazebo….is there is sign-up sheet? I want to be there!

First. Daaaaaaaaamn. You are SO right about those flowers!
People are complaining that the movie focuses on a couple of white people instead of people who lived there. I don’t know how I feel. To be frank – supposedly this is a true story – and I think it’s an interesting (albeit obviously HORRIFYING) one. I think it’s an amazing story and the ethnicity of the characters is secondary…
(Speaking of famous attractive people during the tsunami – remember Petra Nemcova’s story? My God…)

The thing is…it’s a Spanish produced film that focuses on a SPANISH couple. So it’s a country making a movie about a couple that experienced this that hails from their country. I do get a Spanish writer wanting to tell the story of a Spanish couple.
But it’s important for people to understand that the people who were vacationing there when this tragedy hit DID have a “home” to come home to whereas the people who lived there were left with nothing. There story didn’t “end” when they went home. They still had to live in the devastation. It’s uncomfortable for sure.

Love Ewan and the pictorial. The trailer made me teary…and uncomfortable. Focusing on an attractive, white family during a “true story” about an Asian tragedy makes me uneasy. Where are all the Asian people? Oh yeah, comforting the white lady. What’s the kid doing? Oh, being the white savior. I’m in a bad mood this a.m., so forgive me if I’m taking myself or this movie too seriously.
Ps I liked the trailer anyway.

That was my response exactly. I’m glad someone else felt this way. I’m torn now because it’s hard to imagine sitting through an entire movie’s worth of how uncomfortable the trailer made me, but it’s so great to hear Ewan’s accent.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
No, you aren’t wrong at all. I feel uncomfortable with it too.
I think it’s a tough situation. It is, if I understand, a Spanish film and the couple in question was a Spanish couple. So I do understand the desire for the Spanish producers to tell the story of the Spanish family.
That said, it reinforces an all too familiar trend of only seeing these things through the perspective of those who were “visiting” when this tragedy occurred and not the people who actually live there.
There is zero doubt that anyone who was present when the tsunami hit experienced harrowing pain and fear. But the people who were vacationing had a HOME to come home to. The people who LIVED there had literally nothing left. That was their home.
It is a different perspective and an important one to remember.

I’ve always thought Ewan McGregor is sexy. No doubt about it. He’s the best kind of sexy because it’s not in an overly obvious way.
Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like the older I get the more I’m attracted to both men who excude sexuality through their extreme talent and their personality.
I’m a straight woman but I feel the same way when I’m admiring women.
I’m so over the overtly “trying too hard” pouty posed sexy image of women out there. As if that’s the only way to be sexual. Instead, I look at some of these female actresses who are just so incredibly talented and real and flawed and that is so stunning to me. There is so much more mystery there.
Ewan is an incredibly talented actor and one of those actors that I legit think can do anything. He’s an old fashioned song and dance man. (As much as I thought Kidman was great in Moulin Rouge…Ewan was the real musical talent of the film.) He can do the sci-fi genre stuff and give it soul–he was clearly the best thing about the Star Wars prequels. He can do extreme drama. He can do anything.

Agree. Nothing beats sexy expressed through talent and personality for both men and women. That’s what attracts me to a man….and voice. I have a thing for voice, for both men and women.

I used to like Ewan a lot, as an actor, as a humanitarian too BUT he’s a polansky apologist so now he’s on my sh*t list until he sees the light… if he ever does. It bothers me even more because he has daughters, how can you try and justify Polansky’s perversions?! smh
PS for those interested there’s an english documentary on youtube about white and asian families with footage of the disaster, it’s heart breaking but also incredibly uplifting because of the way people came together. But be warned this is NOT hollywood, it’s real life so people really died and not all families found each other afterwards. The survivors tell their stories, some have happy endings others very bitter sweet and some are just tragic.

I love the Pillow Book!!! First time I saw him in a movie and I just fell for him. I found the girl really gorgeous too, but I have a thing for pretty Asian women.
These are not the best pictures of Ewan, but I would hit him even dressed in cardboard or, better, not dressed at all.

i know a family this happened to. she’s sri lankan, he’s canadian, they have two kids who go to school with mine. Unfortunately, it’s still really hard to like her after understanding what happened to them. She’s difficult for so many other reasons, manic, and it’s hard to see what’s happening to their family because of it. It’s like she’s got this need and just drags the rest of her family around with her because of it and the rest of them just look haunted. She looks haunted. They’re moving to somewhere in the middle east soon to live for a few years…. People are complicated.

It’s an interesting pictorial. Reminds me a bit of The Smiths 80s-romantics era.
Still, this kind of clotheshorse nonsense in magazines seems beneath McGregor. Dude had been in interesting major movies and art films for 20 years, he doesn’t need the cheap publicity.
