We thought it was bloody ridiculous, too, Ewan

Filed under: Screen — Mags @ 11:40 pm

The Telegraph does an article on Ewan McGregor with a brief mention of his appearance in Emma2:

With the exception of his preparation for Trainspotting, he also does not really go in for research. When, in 1995, he arrived on the set of Emma (in which he was a forgettable Frank Churchill in a ‘bloody ridiculous wig’), he made no secret of the fact that he had not read the Jane Austen novel. ‘I like to be in the moment that I am creating,’ he explains. ‘If I have to draw on other things that aren’t in that moment, it takes me out of it. I like to use my imagination to put me in that position then and there, in front of the camera.’

We generally refer to it as “phoning it in,” but we do not pretend to be an expert. *meow*

    Wig or no wig, he’s still a droolfest!
