    So SOOOOOOOO hot. Ageless and he makes that kilt look sexy as hell.

    The last pic I could do without but the first one? YUM.

    • T.Fanty says:

      Ewan Magregor in a kilt, in what I am happily imagining as an alleyway? Oh, the things I would do in that little backstreet. Let’s also hope that he is being a true Scotsman.

      (I am, obviously completely ignoring the likelihood that it is is simply the side of his family home in favor of my interpretation).

      • Eleonor says:

        You slut! It’s MY future husband you’re talking about! 😀
        (I was wondering about him as a Scotsman too aaaah…)

      • Kelly says:

        Hmmph. Obi Wan, these are not the wenches you’re looking for.

        I am!

    • ncboudicca says:

      All that biking gives him nice legs. I do believe his calves top Cumby’s.

  2. RocketMerry says:

    Lol, cute 🙂

  3. An says:

    Omigosh that link about the Brits is spot on. I am married to an englishman and they really are that neurotic. I snorted in laughter several times reading it.

    • T.Fanty says:

      I chose to stop counting how many of those I’ve done after I hit seventeen.

    • Amelia says:

      I’m quite fond of No. 28 – ‘Feeling your life lacks excitement, so dunking your biscuit for an irresponsibly long time.’
      Oh, the number of digestives and hobnobs I’ve lost after a dull day at work . . .

      • T.Fanty says:

        I can’t do that, because having bits of gingernut floating around on top of my tea will sink me even further into my melancholy.

        (is it weird that writing that sentence has just wistfully taken me back to Cumberbatch?)

      • LAK says:

        no 29 is completely me – wanting to throw yourself out the window because someone sits next to you on an empty bus.

        I’ve been known to change seats.

      • bluhare says:

        Ladies: You SHOULD get up and move if someone sits next to you on a very uncrowded bus.

    • brin says:

      Dare I say I think it’s sweet! (I’m American so I don’t mind an exclamation point here or there).

    • Norman Bates' Mother says:

      After reading this I think I might be secretly British. I’m this neurotic, while my fellow average countrymen tend to be the exact opposite to my constant fright and discomfort. I just graduated college, maybe I should rethink my plans for the future (rethink is a bad word, though since I don’t have any).

      • loveisthecoal says:

        I think I must be secretly British, too. I live in the wrong country!

    • Kelly says:

      What link?

  4. marie says:

    I like it! Always appreciate a man in a kilt.

  5. Bubbling says:

    Cirque du Soleil news are awful, prayers to her family

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Where is Original Tiffany?????

      …bet she has lots to say about this.

      I still maintain that only one death in 30 years is quite amazing for such a seemingly dangerous show.

      My heart goes out to her little babies 🙁

  6. bettyrose says:

    The Queen is still a red blooded woman. How is she not driven to distraction wondering what he’s wearing under that kilt?!?

    • Malificent says:

      She doesn’t have to wonder — he’s been flashing it in every other movie for decades….

      • bettyrose says:

        Yeah? Which one of his dong friendly pics you think she likes best? Pillow Book, right?? 🙂

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Bettyrose,

        I am still having hot flashes from Pillow Book.

  7. Mango says:

    The answer to the question: Are British people really that neurotic? Yes. Yes, we are.

  8. OriginallyBlue says:

    He looks sexy as hell. That last picture is not so much.

  9. Jennifer12 says:

    Ewan MacGregor is the epitome of hotness. Loved him since “Shallow Grave”.

  10. blaize says:

    Ugh. Westboro Baptist church is nothing but a cult of homophobic, misogynistic bigots who give religion a bad name. They have promoted a lot of heinous messages over the years. The thing is, they’re behavior doesn’t represent that of all Baptists or Christians. People like to stereotype all Muslims as extremists, but extremism and fanaticism can happen to anyone.

    • aims says:

      westboro is a hate group, and the fact that they’re able to get as much press as they do, is disgusting. I’m not a fan of Taylor at all, but nobody deserves Westboro’s BS!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I think most people know that they’re extremists and don’t represent Christians as a whole.

  11. fabgrrl says:

    Wow, who knew I was British?

  12. Agnes says:

    I wanted to say something but I forgot after I saw the last pic *swoon*

  13. LAK says:

    Baldrick got a Knighthood!!

    • bluhare says:

      Hahaha. Love Black Adder. Still.

      • LAK says:

        me too.

        Blackadder only got a CBE. Blackadder has to bow and scrape to Baldrick….LOL.

        Tony Robinson [Baldrick] put out a statement along the lines that he promises to charge about rescuing damsels in distress as befits a proper Knight….

        From anyone else, very sexist comment to make, but from him, very hilarious.

      • bluhare says:

        If there’s a reunion that needs to happen it’s Black Adder.

  14. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    That last pic of him in a kilt (the black and white one) feels so “90’s beefcake Glamour Shot”.

    But I’m not complaining by any means.

    ETA: About that “Very British Problems” Buzzfeed, can someone explain to me the “Jaffa” debate? I feel like I’ve missed something epic here.

    • T.Fanty says:

      Jaffa:
      a)the name of a delicious biscuit that encompasses yummy spongey stuff, lovely orange jelly stuff and chocolate on top, and
      b) a man who is notable for his inability to have children, due to (ahem) his lack of little swimmers.

      Jaffa cakes, therefore, are the staple of teenage boy humour in the UK.

    • Roberta says:

      I thought the debate was whether it’s a cake or a biscuit? Haven’t heard of the other one

      • T.fanty says:

        Oh! That, too. Ignore mine: that makes way more sense. I just went immediately to the most juvenile response (shocking, I know).

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        @Fanty: With Ewan MacGregor in a kilt (or any situation), the most juvenile response is always the first we’re going to jump too. 😉

  15. Dawn says:

    Good for him and so appropriate with Kilt. I love him as an actor, just always have and always will. He has great range.

  16. Reece says:

    YES!! The only thing that would make it better is if he went full (un)dress. 😉

    I’m guilty of #7,8,30 on that list. Am I 1/4 British then? haha

  17. islandwalker says:

    The Arizona Fire is so tragic. It breaks my heart.

  18. Jayna says:

    Lift your kilt up, Ewan. I’m sure you’re going commando. Thank you in advance.

  19. SFRowGuy says:

    Appropriate wear for a Scottish man, however if the kilt he wore is in the first pic, the cut and the tartan is ‘casual’. The formal is darker, and pleated.

  20. BooBooLaRue says:

    Sweet way to end a frustrating Monday. Loved him in Little Voice, bad teeth and all.

  21. DreamyK says:

    What? Henry Cavill and Gina broke up in early May and now he’s dating Kaley Cuoco?

    I don’t know much about her but I do remember her awkward awards season mishaps. Eep!

    What happened with Gina? I was apparently over-invested in their relationship 🙁

  22. Chrissy says:

    Finally some Ewan time!!!

    HOT FLASHES EVERYWHERE

  23. Meegs says:

    Hawt.

  24. Nerd Alert says:

    Sooo…Wonderwall is reporting that Henry Cavill and Gina Carino broke up and now he’s dating Kaley Cuoco. Can we please talk about THAT tomorrow? I thought HC and GC were still together as of last week’s post.

  25. GiGi says:

    *sigh* I miss Hot Guy Friday….

  26. bluhare says:

    Ewan looks great in a kilt. Love a man in a kilt. Did you all see the Mad Piper on Michael D’s site today?

    BUT has no one looked at the Rafael Nadaal on a yacht photos? Oh my.

  27. Kim1 says:

    Pierce Brosnan daughter died of ovarian cancer 12 years after her mom died of ovarian cancer RIP

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      Ugh, I was coming on here to say the same thing. That sucks balls. I feel so bad for him, having to go through the same thing with his first wife, and for her husband. That’s scary. It makes me glad that for whatever reason, the women in my family die of old age…not ovarian or breast cancer.

      • LAK says:

        It made me think of Angelina and the test she publicised which may have made a difference here.

        I am so glad Angelina publicised that test because whilst my family die of old age, i am dating someone whose entire family is dropping from Cancer. And his mother died from ovarian cancer, so if there are any mini-mes from him, they are getting tested asap and steps taken. I don’t want to outlive them.

  28. Sara says:

    He really is ageless and looks better than he did in his twenties! What is his secret?!!!

  29. hairball says:

    Thank you for reporting on Ian Somerhalder! I started watching “The Vampire Diaries” only about a month ago and am ADDICTED. Wow, love this show and Ian Somerhalder is absolutely beautiful.

  30. Chickie Baby says:

    Of course Ewan wore a kilt to a ceremony presided over by the Queen—he IS a proper Scotsman, after all! What else would he wear?

  31. Liberty says:

    I love him.
