Little Ewan story

I found this little story about Ewan in the newspaper yesterday


Hollywood Star Ewan Waited His Turn In The Queue

False teeth, Ewan McGregor and rumours of snakes - it's all in a days work for Lisa Henderson.

Lisa is the operations manager at Cineworld in Glasgow - the tallest cinema complex in Europe.

Oh, and she's also shown James Bond the way to the gents!

But first, Mr McGregor. He phoned up to say he wanted to come in and see Star Wars, Attack of the Clones, in which he played Obi Wan Kenobi.

Lisa and her colleagues pulled out all the stops ensuring there were enough strategically placed staff to whisk Mr Kenobi past star-struck fans.

But while waiting for Ewan to turn up, it became apparent something was amiss.

"The idea was to sneak him in without anyone knowing, but we needn't have bothered." says Lisa.
"He turned up late and when we asked what had happened he said he's been standing in the queue outside waiting to get in - and no-one had spotted him"




And i will be updating my journal soon  ;)   i havent written anything since writing about my holiday, but i will do it soon!

LOL i know! i couldnt believe that not a single person recognised him. i know it was a few years ago now but i thought he would have been pretty famous in glasgow even back then, after all he did make one of scotlands most famous films!!
crazy people :D

and hi! i did notice you'd been posted a lot on the playground the past couple of days, does this mean you've recovered from your illness now?

I know! I still can't believe it, they obviously didn't expect he'd queue like everyone else and didn't believe it could be him. LOL

Yes I am feeling a lot better thanks Clare, still coughing a bit but much better now!

You have to be kidding~~!!!!!!.... Were they ALL blind....
Does he have to dress like Obi to be noticed....?????
I would notice him if he were wearing a paper bag, or nothing.. LOL

Such a nice guy, standing, waiting his turn to get in.
No special treatment for our Ewan... What a guy....

Thanks for the article clare.
That is so funny.

OH--- is this a new article in the paper in Scotland?
If so do you think Ewan is in Scotland right now...???

i know! its so strange that absolutely no one noticed him!

he is such a down to earth guy, i doubt it even occured to him to skip the queue!

no, as far as i know ewan is not in scotland at the moment. judging by the plane pics recently he is still having some time off in england. the article is new but they were talking to the cinema woman about all her experiences so she told them this story about ewan from years ago, just after Attack of the Clones was released. so it may have been in scotland because he was filming YA since it would have been 2002

Thanks clare--- I just read your explaination on the forum

It's hard to judge when an article is new or old, without a date of the original happening....

I like the way he never assumes anything..probably why he gets around unnoticed. I wonder why he wanted to see the film again...surely he has a copy...must be the big screen effect...

so true, the reporters and people in the showbiz scene always seem to be shocked that ewan lives his life normally and is such a down to earth guy!

he did once say that he doesnt keep copies of any of his films, but im sure it wouldnt be difficult for him to get his hands on them if he wanted to!

Something about a prophet in his own land...people don't think anything great comes out of their own place.

Ewan can always dress up as Obi-Wan and come round to my house if he wants to me mobbed. I'm sure we can arrange a special screening. LOL.

He does look very different in AOTC with the beard and the hair, I suppose...
