Ewan McGregor

I've come to the conclusion that he is a shameless whore. Sorry [livejournal.com profile] grungettarocks but you know it's true.

It seems to me that since Trainspotting he has had two criteria for making films:

1) "Will I be paid large quantities of money?"
or
2) "Will I be able to get my dick out on screen?"

Pillow Book, Nora, Velvet Goldmine, Young Adam... all very low pay... yet he gets his dick out in all of them!

I don't think he does in Solid Geometry (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343014/)...

Are you sure (emphasis mine):

"Ewan McGregor and Ruth Millar star as Phil and Maisie, a succesful advertising executive and his wildcat young wife, whose hedonistic lifestyle is thrown into turmoil by Phil's dangerous obsession with his great-great grandfather's secret diaries.

Directed by Denis Lawson, and based on the compelling short story by Ian McEwan, this critically acclaimed supernatural thriller is an edgy, erotically charged tale of passion, obsession and the unknown."

I am fairly sure. I don't recall said wang anywhere in the thing. Despite the highlighted portions, it gets no screen time.

Moreover, even if it doesn't, it's probably the rule proving exception...
