Mir fällt übrigens gerade auf, dass das Bild meines Avatars von der Berlin-Premiere stammt.
Ich möchte auf jeden Fall studieren. Ich werde mich in der nächsten Zeit für eine Berufsberatung anmelden - ich hoffe das wird mich weiterbringen.

Und noch etwas zu der Löwen-Sache:"lying around naked with a beautiful woman is not a problem for me..."

Ewan McGregor doesn't mind letting it all hang out, he tells BERNARD BALE
Ewan McGregor is a big fish in Big Fish, which will hit our cinema screens very soon, but no matter how big a star he becomes and he is a big star Ewan remains a law unto himself as far as the movie business is concerned. That doesn't bother a huge fan following who voted him the sexiest man alive, an honour which took him by surprise.
"I was really flattered when I heard about that," he said. "Harrison Ford and Sean Connery were next on the list so that is quite something. Imagine me finishing ahead of Sean Connery? Since I am a Scot it is all the more flattering. I am going to have to spend more time in Scotland!"
For an actor who has been the toast of several towns and is on just about every guest list from Hawick to Hollywood, Ewan McGregor is quite unassuming about his fame.
"I don't really think about it," he admitted. "I always think that the best part of my job is meeting famous people. I still get a kick out of it. I like the glitz and big cars of Hollywood, but I still see myself as a tourist and I get a bit starstruck if I bump into someone famous."
Even though he has not yet recognised his own fame and popularity, Ewan has come to terms with being stared at in the street.
"It took a little while at first," he said. "It can be quite amusing when someone looks at you, recognises you, but is not quite sure. By the time they realise who they have seen, you have gone. I don't really mind being stared at unless I am with my family. I like to be allowed to be a family man sometimes, but when I am on my own I don't really mind the stares and pointing fingers.
"I don't mind if people want to speak to me, so long as they don't want to get into a long conversation when I am in a rush. I don't like to be rude to people, but time is always a problem."
Ewan obviously values his family time and tries to spend as much time as possible at his London home, although he seems to be regularly jetting off to some other part of the world.
"My family is my greatest pastime," he revealed. "My family takes priority and I hate being away from them. I do have a passion for motorbikes and I get a great sense of freedom from everything when I get one of my bikes out and take off, but I am really quite a home bird.
"I am married to Eve and our daughters are Clara and Esther. If I am away I talk to them as often as possible by phone. Strictly speaking, in the movie business home is wherever you hang your hat. You can be in LA for months or even halfway up a mountain in India. For me, home is wherever my family might be."
Eve Mavrakis Mrs Ewan McGregor is a French designer who has turned screenwriter, and recently disappointed Ewan by saying that she would like Johnny Depp to take the lead for her latest film, For Love Of Art.
"That was nice, wasn't it," joked Ewan. "Here I am saying how wonderful my wife is, hanging on her every word, and when she gets a good film she overlooks me in favour of Johnny Depp!"
Since his parents ran a local film club in Crieff, his uncle is acclaimed actor Dennis Lawson and Ewan was himself hooked on old black and white films shown regularly on BBC2, there is little wonder that he decided at an early age to become an actor himself.
"I was a late starter," he joked. "I did not make up my mind until I was nine. I asked my uncle how to become an actor and he just told me to shut up and ask him again when I was ten years older. I think he thought it was just a passing fad. I didn't ask him because ten years later I was already on the ladder. I started at Perth Rep as an extra in Passage to India. They had already turned me down when I wanted to join them, but I think they were so desperate for extras that they took me on."
It turned out to be a 'passage to Hollywood' since Ewan's very early beginnings led to him becoming one of the biggest stars of movie land.
"I am enjoying myself, especially with the Star Wars series," he admitted.
"I loved Star Wars when I was a kid and I still like to watch the older versions. I often say it is for research, but the truth is I just like watching the movies. To be appearing in the more recent versions is just fantastic."
"If I had not made it I think I might have liked to be a rock star," Ewan said. "At school I played the French Horn because nobody else wanted to. I was keen on music and I can play guitar and drums. I have sung in a few films too and I really enjoy it. I am not a frustrated rock star, but I would love to have my own rock band and make big-selling albums and maybe tour some of the really big concert halls. It must be great to be face-to-face with tens of thousands of people and have them join in with your songs."
Perhaps his love of music and singing is the secret behind Ewan's very popular party piece. "Oh yes, my famous party piece," he laughed. "Usually I do an Elvis impersonation. I have always done that at gatherings of family and friends and amazingly they still ask me to do it. I don't know if I am good at it but I like the music and I haven't had any complaints. Mind you, I haven't been offered a job playing Elvis in a film either so maybe it's not so good after all!"
Playing Elvis is not a big ambition but Ewan does have his sights firmly set on a return to the stage.
"I want to make more films of course but I like to make quality films," he explained. "You can get a lot of money appearing in rubbish, but I don't want that. I would like to return to the stage more in the future. That's really where it started for me and I do enjoy appearing on stage with a live audience. I hope there is more of that to come."
No doubt his hordes of female fans will also be hoping to be able to see him on stage, especially if he makes one of his regular nude appearances. "I do seem to have been naked in quite a few films, don't I," he said. "I don't know why, it just seems to be the kind of role I get. It doesn't bother me, in fact it can be fun at times. Lying around naked with a beautiful woman is not a big problem for me, even if it is only for a film."
Ewan is obviously speaking with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. He still finds it hard to understand why he has such a fan following.
"I am just a Scottish actor," he said. "I don't even think I am a romantic. When it comes to wine and roses, I think I am more of a wine man than a roses man. Eve, my wife, is French and is therefore naturally romantic, so she must think I am a romantic too, though I am not sure if I show it as well as I should."
Whether he is a romantic or not, Ewan McGregor is definitely a winner among his legions of fans. He is also a winner at the cinema box office, which is why there are queues to get him on contract. After Big Fish comes Star Wars Episode III, then Stay followed by Robots, and he has even signed to provide a voice for the curiously-named Gnomeo and Juliet, which is due to be completed for 2006.
"I am pretty busy but I am not complaining," he said. "I don't want my wife to start thinking of giving me a job as an extra in one of her films!"
How scary was it working with a real lion?
We came to the shot where there's a lion sitting about a foot and a half behind me and the trainer said, “Just don't annoy it in any way”. So, I was quite happy not to annoy it, but Tim Burton (the director) wanted it to roar, and so, I was busy not annoying it like this and I look behind it and she just kept tapping it on the head with a stick to make a roar and I thought, “Who's annoying the lion now!”.
