>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 fuck 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 fucking babies holy shit. Directors should be allowed to lock these fags in a cage and poke them with a cattle prod until they start actin' good, I tell ya what
Adrian Campbell
He’s a terrible actor.
Ayden Long
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?
Adam Robinson
I imagine he prodded Heath Ledger to his doom. Was that good enough for you?
Jeremiah Gutierrez
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
Alexander Martinez
>“‘What the fuck 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
Camden Cooper
Based Gilliam trying to help a man achieve I have more respect for him now
Michael Davis
He's right, McGregor peaked with Trainspotting and he's never done anything half as good
Blake Foster
>What the fuck 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?
Asher Brown
He's 100% right. Ewan is the biggest waste of talent in Hollywood. His agent must be really fucking awful or he just can't choose roles. Best thing he has done since Trainspotting is Fargo and even that wasn't great.
Jeremiah Cook
I wonder if the prequels mindbroke him or something, it's just bizarre. He should have had a guaranteed A-lister career after Trainspotting.
Jaxson Nelson
>I wonder if the prequels mindbroke him or something Why would it? Did it embarrass him?
Jayden Ross
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.
Zachary Scott
TMWKDQ was made, it has Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce, the movie is kino af. Ewan crying and complaining about this so fucking pathetic, as if he isn't literally disneyplused
Michael King

Wyatt Walker
