Ewan McGregor on The Late Show with David Letterman (Part 2 of 2)

[SugarKatie]

I used to be a big fan of them, but I have to say this is a boring interview. though I enjoyed learning about Ewan's trip, the chemistry between Ewan and Dave is simply terrible. The questions are too serious and predictable, and Dave tried too hard to make interesting/funny revelations from the conversation.. I just checked out ewan on craig ferguson, he seemed so alive, funny and at ease, a totally different person than here..letterman is good only when he can bring out the best in his guests

[hudson0815]

I really don't like Lettermans style. I won't say he's a prick, cause I don't know him personally, but he DOES come off as one. He doesn't stand a chance against Craig Ferguson.

[nyran125]

i think Letterman is talking about some really serious issues and i think its more not knowing how to approach the subjects and make it entertaining, rather than disliking Ewan. By the end of the interview, he probably didnt want to make the conversation any more serious so it sounded rude at the end when he said "Weve already covered the bike thing"

[nyran125]

its quite nice to see just a normla interview without all the pushed jokes. Its good. You get a better natural interview out of it. I dont care if interviews are always funny.

[thekillers274]

Okay, now go watch the late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. See the difference. Ewan is so much more comfortable with him and it's actually quite funny.

[ATHFguy]

Aw man, I wish he was on Craig Ferguson's talk show.

Love Letterman, love Ewan, loved The Ghost Writer.

[svesper631]

Letterman is so boring...Ewan on Craig Ferguson is the BEST!

[hatera1000]

Kimmel!

[knightsintodreams]

Vraig Fergason > David Lettermen.

Fergason + Ewan > all

[ilovemovies20]

great quality btw, thanks!

I just finished watching Long Way Round and Long Way Down, and I must say that they are the luckiest people in the world. They took a trip of a lifetime, saw things that 99% of the population will never see...Inspiration at it's finest!! I will never complain about anything that seems to hard again after watching what other people in the world have to and want to live with. Now they need to do Long Way Up - from South America to Canada...and then across Australia! Cheers to them.

[headbangerjonte]

@lrhea83

The thing is, anyone can do the same trip really (well maybe skipping the Road of Bones)

It's not impossible, that's one of the finest aspects about the show. It just takes motivation, equipment and a budget.

[laramvn]

South America? Great! Come to Brazil, Ewan! :)

[jrms2589]

Ewan McGregor is such a good actor, like seriously. I mean I'm not just going by the little clip alone, but when he's sitting there and being himself, he's a fantastic person and really great in interviews, professional, yet not so strict. Then they show the clip, and he has a different air about him, he's actually a different PERSON. He's fantastic, a nice gentleman all-around!

[gioemopunk]

I'm sorry...but, can anyone tell me what does Letterman say after showing that pic of the kiss at 5:40/5:44??..PLEASE!

[MsTriangle]

'That's what happens when you''re on the road too long!'

[lletah]

Im very big fan of Ewan, so unbelievable, amazing, deep man !!!

[Lolalai]

Why did Dave show the photo related to the film "I love you Philip Morris" and then didn't even bother to mention it...Weird!

[Experiment47]

"Long Way Round" was filmed six years ago, get with the times Letterman.

[kansaicanuck]

Dave did a horrible job... get a clue buddy! Do you go through towns.. villages... smaller than villages?... what a fuckin nob....

[vedaBang]

gentleman

[bunnydabrowsky]

mmm, the ghostwirter. I think I have moisten my pillow a little bit :P ausgezeichnet !

[ClaudyKeira]

I love Ewan...he is such a nice and friendly person. He is just so down to earth and just an amazing actor. I love him in "The Ghostwriter" and I am deeply saddened that Mr Brosnan really pulls the movie down with his "acting".

[Caliniphr]

I've never seen Letterman before but I don't think I like his style. At first he was like "soo, have you ever made a trip?" and then he had pictures and clips. You can't introduce a topic that way, it looks terrible.

[richie8811]

@Caliniphr dude it's a set up, ewan probably turned up for the rehearsal etc.. and they discussed prior what they would talk about because ewan's segment has two commercial breaks. dave was setting ewan up to talk about the trips

[Caliniphr]

@richie8811: Yeah, thanks, I figured that out myself.

What I don't like it's that way of presenting info. There are a milion ways of talking about those trips for an audience who may not know about them that not end up being either condecending to the audience or with the presenter looking stupid.

That's what I didn't like, the whole "you made a trip? I had no idea lol" and then pulling out videos and pictures and the like. I found it obnoxious and irritating.

I might watch him again though

[SirLuxalot]

It can take a little while for people to take a liking to Letterman. Either that or they genuinely dislike his style but I'm part of the former group. I initially found him utterly unfunny and found the audience even more annoying than him. Now I love Letterman's seeming dislike for his own jokes and the occasional brilliant interjection of very expositional and out-of-place jokes (ie. This Is Your Lunch).

[dantheman500]

@Caliniphr watch more, hes a character and says things like "so you have made a trip?" so the people watching who don't know, now do.

[selfidentity1]

thats because they are both scotish

[gemmarealmilka]

@selfidentity I don't think that's the case- ferguson and mcgregor are just the same type of man and they get along well with each other. I don't think same nationality has a lot to do with this. ferguson is really easy to talk to.

[iamcanadian26]

Craig is so much more fun with Ewan. Letterman has such a stick up his ass.

[sllsllsllsllsll]

@iamcanadian26

yeah i know what you mean

but....on the other hand i think i learned a quite a bit more here then the interview with craig

that was fun don't get me wrong, but this seems to have more depth and meaning

[littleboots888]

they dont really get along,do they?letterman and ewan!with craig,ewan is more friendly.
