>In 2010, the Obi-Wan Kenobi star was approached by the director to star in his film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, which ultimately never reached production.
>Now, over a decade later, McGregor has told GQ how Gilliam insulted his acting career right to his face.
>Although he found the director’s comments to be rude, McGregor admitted that it’s rare to be challenged and that his words have stuck with him ever since.
>Quoting Gilliam, he said: “‘What the frick have you been doing all this time? You’ve been underplaying everything. What happened to the guy in Trainspotting? What happened to that guy?!’ It was quite rude. It’s rare that somebody challenges you. But it stuck with me.”
>McGregor admitted that it’s rare to be challenged
Actors are pampered fricking babies holy shit. Directors should be allowed to lock these gays in a cage and poke them with a cattle prod until they start actin' good, I tell ya what
I imagine he prodded Heath Ledger to his doom. Was that good enough for you?
No
>druggie does drugs
>this is somehow THE MAN's fault
Heath Ledger wasn't any better than the rest of these c**ts. Just another wealthy frick who wouldn't have given you a squirt of piss if you were about to die from dehydration. And you know what? If he wasn't like that when he died, he probably would have gone that way. Seeing Goose himself not even help that ass slapper up finally sobered me from my self induced delusions that any big name actor is worth a FRICK.
>Seeing Goose himself not even help that ass slapper up
what the frick are you referring to
He’s a terrible actor.
And Gilliam is a terrible director
terrible now, but used to be great. Time Bandits and Brazil are classics.
Agreed.
>The Virgin Scottish wienersucker
>The Chad Italian Stallion
And don't even @ me about that cartoon fantasy of Obi-Wan fricking Space Cate Blanchett. It never happened.
Kys, Obi fricked Padme and kids are his.
>The city of Copenseethen
after the disastrous prequels, they should retcon this.
>leaves his wife and children for a prostitute
Terrible person too.
Do you think any of us will look back at our lives and regret the things we didn’t buy…or the places we didn’t go?
He played fasion designer Roy Halston. Halston was a real flamer.
>rude
Oh noes why didn't he shower me with fawning praise even though I admit he had a point
>“‘What the frick have you been doing all this time? You’ve been underplaying everything. What happened to the guy in Trainspotting? What happened to that guy?!’
He wasn't being negative at all maybe motivational
He was definitely being negative. A Negative Nancy if you will.
Based Gilliam trying to help a man achieve
I have more respect for him now
He's right, McGregor peaked with Trainspotting and he's never done anything half as good
>What the frick have you been doing all this time? You've been underdirecting everything. What happened to the guy who made Brazil? What happened to that guy?
He's 100% right. Ewan is the biggest waste of talent in Hollywood. His agent must be really fricking awful or he just can't choose roles. Best thing he has done since Trainspotting is Fargo and even that wasn't great.
I wonder if the prequels mindbroke him or something, it's just bizarre. He should have had a guaranteed A-lister career after Trainspotting.
>I wonder if the prequels mindbroke him or something
Why would it? Did it embarrass him?
Well it was his first big Hollywood role for a franchise with well known and beloved movies, and instead he had to star in some godawful movies that a lot of megafans of the original movies loathed. He'd only done small scale British movies before that, if I were him I'd feel like a sellout and a bit disappointed in how the prequels turned out.
TMWKDQ was made, it has Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce, the movie is kino af. Ewan crying and complaining about this so fricking pathetic, as if he isn't literally disneyplused
>McGregor admitted that it’s rare to be challenged
Lmao
>20 years to barely make a handful of literally who flicks
This is the dude who's gonna shit on your career
Parnassus was very good though
i wonder why..
Most of them were very good, just no one watched them
Wasn't it messed up by Heath Ledger dying halfway through?
all of Gilliam's films were just symbolic bullshit for the hollywood pedo-elite.
Okay capeshit drone.
Considering his half-assed job in Kenobi, Scottish wienersucker obviously didn't take that advice to heart.
Based Gilliam trying to make an actor earn his million dollar paycheck
Trainspotting 2 was shit.
Miles Davis was shit.
Gilliam was merely trying to goad him into doing better.
The prequels destroyed him. Star Wars is a cancer.
SCOTTISH wienerSUCKER
I didn't know this existed, is it any good?
Just look at the cover, it has 0 freigegeben from FSK. It's trash.
Good for Gilliam. He needs to be given more money to make more movies and get more actors to take a good hard look at themselves.
I watched it on the plane one time. It was pretty mediocre but well-executed and occasionally fun. Luckily they went for a more melancholy feel rather than slapstick
i didnt know it existed either. looks like a good concept and good casting. i just hope they didnt have him married to a black girl like the fricking sonic movie
Ghost Writer is decent
Imagine not only being humiliated for having a shit career, but getting beaten by Adam Driver for the role and then having to return to Obi-wan in a low budget cash grab made for TV that got universally anned for being unredeemable dogshit. It's really embarrassing because Adam Driver is like a charisma sinkhole and he just look like a fricking moron.
>Adam Driver is like a charisma sinkhole and he just look like a fricking moron
My god morons here really don't want anything other than capeshit, you clearly haven't even see the movie in question.
What did you expect, you think anyone here has seen all the kinos Adam Driver did? This place is filled with moronic zoomers with attention spawn that only last for tiktok.
Driver is one of the finest actors murica currently has, euros need to steal him more often, burgers clearly are too moronic for true cinema
Robert Eggers is American and showed all the eurocucks (especially Ridley Scott) how to make European Historical Kino. Cope and Seethe.
Scott isn't even someone I meant, but if you go there I'm not surprised you enjoy a24 cuck as le deep cinema kek
>Robert Eggers
>European Historical Kino
ayyylmao
>You’ve been underplaying everything.
what does he mean by this? wouldn't you only cast ewan mcgregor if you wanted a barely there guy? he isn't exactly charisma overload
McGregor is a huge beta cuck lol. imagine putting women on pedestal , post walled roastie at that lol
Gilliam is a hack
Basically all his characters should have been the same but had drug addictions.
