Hi all,

Here's another one to add to the mill.

From http://www.comingsoo...ews.php?id=2592 and originally the Toronto Star

Ewan McGregor the Next 007? Source: Toronto Star Friday, December 5, 2003

The Toronto Star has published a great interview with Big Fish star Ewan McGregor in which he addresses rumors that he may in the running to be the next James Bond.

He's the right age

[Tarl_Cabot]

I think after seeing "Down with Love" that he could pull it off, despite his 5'10 frame. He's very charming and charismatic and the best thing about those turgid Star Wars prequels by far!

[SeanValen00V]

I think he would be interesting to see as he gets older.

[Genrewriter]

Same here, he'd be an interesting 007.

[Sensualist]

Moulin Rouge showed his immense acting chops.

His hair was dark. He portayed a very moody character. Pulled off the humor and can probably do a very good rendition of Undrr Dee Maango Treee if needed.

Plus he's already fought Scaramanga in a light sabre duel and held his own against Viktor Zokas, A.K.A. Renard, in 'Trainspotting'.

[Martin Mystery]

I never thought he was interested in doing it. I think he could pull it off
-but my favorite is still Clive Owen!

Pass.

I just really don't think the guy can act. I'd say I'm in the minority, but he grated with me in the first two Star Wars flicks [especially The Phantom Menace].

[CommanderBond]

I dont know about now but lets see how he ages.

[Triton]

I like Ewan Mcgregor, I have enjoyed the films he has appeared in and his performances, but I don't see him as a potential James Bond.

You know good actors appear in big films not just to do good acting, but fufil childhood dreams, like being in a star wars film, the script didn't allow for impressive acting, doesn't mean he's now a bad actor LOL.

Go and watch trainspotting, moulin rouge, he was actually quite funny in a small part in Black Hawk Down as well.

Euan needs to check how he speaks in interviews - how many times is he going to use the word 'think'?

I 'think' he would be excellent as Bond. He's got sex appeal, looks, screen presence. Though I also 'think' Joaquin Phoenix would be even better - certainly in the knicker department!!

[crashdrive]

It won't ever happen. Trust me, he's simply too short and too boyish. He lacks the toughness, the sex appeal and the grace to be Bond. But I am surprised that he's even interested. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were him.

[H.M.Servant]

First I think he's a great actor.
But IMO he's totally the wrong man for the job.
Too short and too slight.
I'd even rather have Jude Law over him!
