![]() ![]() Memo to anyone who voted for Trump or Brexit - pedophile-loving hypocrite Ewan McGregor holds you in utter contempt. So why on earth would you want to see any of his movies ever again? ![]() "Iwas supposed to interview the actor Ewan McGregor today. We’ve met a few times. Once at Soho House in Los Angeles with our families, another time as we disembarked a plane, also in LA, and walked together for 15 minutes to passport control. On both occasions he was friendly and charming. We talked about life, kids, movies. I liked him a lot. So I was looking forward to seeing him again. Unfortunately, it turned out he wasn’t quite so keen on seeing me again. McGregor arrived with a large Hollywood-style entourage at the ITV studios in London, where I currently co-host Good Morning Britain. They were all escorted to the green room, where an argument then started with our editorial team because McGregor apparently hadn’t realized I was going to be involved with the interview. He refused point blank to do it unless I was removed and it was performed by my co-host Susanna Reid. This demand was denied, as were further demands for the interview to be severely shortened and to be restricted purely to talk about his new movie, T2 Trainspotting. So, enraged that he couldn’t do the interview on the terms he wanted, McGregor left. In the studio itself, we were warned there may be a slight ‘issue’ with McGregor appearing on the sofa, five minutes before he was due on. I checked Twitter in the next commercial break and discovered the ‘issue’: ‘Was going on Good Morning Britain,’ McGregor had tweeted, ‘didn’t realise @piersmorgan was host. Won’t go on with him after his comments about #WomensMarch.’ Wow. Let that tweet sink in for a few seconds. An actor who had contractually agreed to appear on a TV show to promote his new film pulls out at the last minute because he doesn’t like the political opinion of a presenter" " I might have asked the father of four girls how his heroic support for women justified him working for Roman Polanski, a self-confessed and convicted child abuser, on the film, The Ghostwriter. Polanksi pleaded guilty to the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl, then fled America to escape a lengthy prison sentence. ‘He’s a legendary filmmaker, one of the best,’ gushed McGregor in a 2010 interview about the pedophile, for whom Meryl Streep once gave a standing ovation at the Oscars. A new warrant was issued for Polanski’s arrest during the movie’s post-production stage. McGregor, who has four young daughters, was asked about it and said: ‘I felt sad for Roman because he’s an old man who I’m incredibly fond of. I like him as a man.’ unbelievable, literally unbelievable http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-McGregor.html Last edited by Crimson Dynamo; 25-01-2017 at 01:01 PM. |
