2006-08-04 17:40:43The ‘Moulin Rouge’ star locks lips with fellow actor Douglas Hodge in new British drama ‘Scenes Of A Sexual Nature’.The 35-year-old actor – who plays Hodge’s gay lover in the film – says he had no trouble getting into the character.He was quoted in Britain’s Daily Express newspaper as saying: “I’ve never been a soldier but I’ve played a soldier. My character Billy is a human being – if he is gay or straight, it doesn’t make any difference.” The ‘Star Wars’ actor also revealed the pair got a chance to rehearse their smooch, when they starred in musical ‘Guys and Dolls’ together.He joked: “We would run it a few times between shows.” This is not the first time McGregor has kissed a man in a movie.In another British film, ‘Velvet Goldmine’, he shared a smooch with actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who later complained McGregor had given him “a terrible stubble rash.”Source: www.pr-inside.com Related Stories:McGregor’s gay kissing sessions Ewan McGregor Practiced Kissing Male Co-Star
The Back HalfBen DowellMonday 7th August 2006 Has Woody Allen done the unthinkable and grown tired of London? I gather that the celebrated auteur recently fell asleep at the bar of a swanky city hostelry. Awakened by concerned crew members, he spluttered: “Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s not as bad as it looks.” His latest project stars Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor as cockney brothers who turn to crime.In the past Allen has eulogised London’s “cool grey skies” and he wanted the same effect for his current film – but the summer heatwave has played havoc with his schedule. The director was even forced to use sea water because of the hosepipe ban. Source: www.newstatesman.com
