Genau das Bild wollte ich letztens auch nehmen, habe ich dann aber doch für etwas anderes entschieden.

"Maybe Michael Moore should make a documentary out of it."EWAN MCGREGOR
HE’S THE CATCH OF THE DAY IN TIM BURTON’S WARM AND WHIMSICAL FAMILY SAGA, BIG FISH.
"If I’d blown away 5,000 people with a semiautomatic machine gun, that would be fine," Ewan McGregor says. "But I showed my penis. It does amuse me, the horrific violence that comes out of American cinema. But someone’s cock is too much. Maybe Michael Moore should make a documentary out of it."
McGregor’s rant about his trouser trout has nothing to do with his starring role in December’s Big Fish, he’s referring to the erotic psychodrama Young Adam, which played at both Cannes and Toronto and will be released in the U.S. by Sony Pictures Classics sometime in 2004. Because of rating and distribution concerns, certain scenes. Including a shot of McGregor’s manhood, probably won’t make the final cut. "If you want to see my penis, you’ll have to fly to Britain," he says with a barking laugh.
If 32-year-old McGregor, married and the father of two little girls, has mellowed, it’s tough to tell. He’s as unafraid to speak his mind as ever. While many actors give lip service to art over commerce, McGregor has the filmography to back up his beliefs. Since his breakthrough role as a junkie antihero in 1996’s Trainspotting, paychecks haven’t exactly been his motivation for picking parts. (What about the Star Wars prequels, you ask? McGregor, who recently finished filming Episode III in Australia, says that he played Obi-Wan "for kids, and for his kids.")
With Big Fish, the lure was the chance to join forces with Tim Burton. "He’s a visionary filmmaker, and one of the few at the moment," McGregor says. Adapted form the novel by Daniel Wallace, Big Fish) centers on a southern raconteur named Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) who is dying. His estranged son, William (Billy Crudup), comes home and tries to find out who his father really is beyond the tall tales. "It’s dealing with the complicated emotions of fathers and sons," says McGregor, who plays the younger Edward during the re-creations of his larger-than-life adventures, which, is typical Burton fashion, include fantastical elements like a giant, a werewolf, and, of course, a big fish.
The genuine pathos that Burton infuses into this raucous, often surreal story comes in part from McGregor’s energetic turn as yet another offbeat, indelible character. "He is really talented and he’s not afraid," Burton says of McGregor. "I love actors who are willing to kind of do anything, and hwo don’t have ego in the sense of, ‘How am I going to look in this?’"
After the four-month shoot in and around Montgomery, Alabama, McGregor embarked on a solo mission, riding a Harley-Davidson Road Glide, which he calls "a big fuck-off tour bike," back to Los Angeles. The trip took five days and included a stop in Oklahoma, where the actor, unrecognizable from the road dust, was turned away from a Holiday Inn Express (They claimed the Inn was full. McGregor thinks they saw him as potential trouble.) But like the young Edward Bloom, a man with a rapacious appetite for life who (as the script put its) was "not ready to end up anywhere," McGregor seems to thrive more on the journey than the final destination. "Every time I stop," he says, "I wish I was on the move again."
