I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college.
I managed to get a short film with Channel 4 Films. I cast a young actor who'd done a bit of television before, a young actor called Ewan McGregor. That was very first thing. This writer had won this competition, and I made this little short, black and white movie. I think for both Ewan and I it was the start of our careers.
My role as Ewan McGregor's girlfriend in the film 'Incendiary' ended up on the cutting-room floor, but at least I had two brilliant days of acting with Ewan.
Yeah, I love Ewan McGregor, I think he's phenomenal.
The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.
I was lucky, because Ewan McGregor had already been shooting with Roman Polanski for about a month before I got role. And he did a faultless impersonation of what it was going to be like. So when direction happened, it was like, "Oh yeah. That's what Ewan said was going to happen." And so it was a little bit less debilitating than it might have been.
I thought 'Moulin Rouge' was inspirational, and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' I loved.
I would absolutely love to do another Baz Luhrmann film, especially a 'Moulin Rouge' type picture.
I'm a guy, but I'm not afraid to cry. Not all of the time. But when I'm watching a movie, I'll sometimes shed a tear, especially 'Moulin Rouge'.
Ewan McGregor and I travelled 20,000 miles from London to New York by bike. It was incredible.
I'd love to work with Gerry Butler, Alan Cummings, and Ewan McGregor. It'd be amazing if we could do a Scottish Hollywood movie.
Director Baz Luhrmann flew me to New York to read for 'Moulin Rouge!' Maybe I was a little blase about it.
We also knew [ me and Ewan McGregor] that, on a practical level, if there was going to be that much sex in the film [Young Adam] - which there clearly had to be because sex is the meat and potatoes of the thing - it had to be varied for the audience, because it's important to keep the audience living in it.
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman came to see our show, We all had a drink before they set off on their travels, and we kept in touch.
It's kind of edgy, but you do have this emotional connection to it. It gives you goosebumps, it makes you feel something every day in training. That 'Moulin Rouge' soundtrack does that for us.
We [ with Ewan McGregor] decided exactly what we would do at every moment, what the texture would be.
Baseball I played literally from the time I can remember. My dad had played, my older brother played, so I always wanted to be like my older brother. That just kind of was a natural thing that I fell into.
