Seven years ago Ewan McGregor was still at drama school. Now he’s

school,≫ he explains. ≪I just didn’t get it.≫

a part in Star Wars movies, McGregor simply met the casting agent,

The sort of sharp sarcasm. He never seems to stop smiling, a particularly

Rare quality to find in actors these days.
