Ive never been less naked in almost any film Ive ever been in, cracks McGregor after filming for the day is complete. Were sitting at an umbrella table outside his dressing room. Wearing a blue T-shirt, jeans, and cute camouflage sneakers, the actor, long familiar to queer audiences for gay moments in The Pillow Book and Velvet Goldmine, is now fully clothed and smoking the first of many American Spirit cigarettes. Usually Ive got all my kit off, and Ive never bothered working out, he says.
Its the nicest thing, says McGregor, a native of Scotland. It was great to come to L.A. and get a bit of sun. I love the routine. Leaving them in the morning, going to work, and going back to them. Its like real life.
I remember I heard Sharon Stone once say, Ill never do nudity again, he says. I just question that. As an actor you should be excited to portray anything and everything. It was weird with me and the Japanese guy in The Pillow Book because it was the first time Id ever done a gay sex scene. But it was just as strange for me the first time I had to do a straight sex scenetheres really no difference. And I loved it.

อิอิ ขออนุญาตไม่แปล เปิดดิกกันเองละกันนะคะ มี quote เด็ดกว่านี้อีกค่ะIn fact, he talks about it all the time. On a break while taping a television show in Britain, the host said he'd be asking about filming that scene in The Pillow Book. "I thought they were changing videotapes, and I ended the break saying, 'I'm going to have to find a way to answer that without using the words 'smooth, leathery scrotum.' I thought they were changing tapes, but when it aired on television, they included that." So how does "smooth, leathery scrotum" come up in conversation? "That's all I could remember about it," shrugs the actor, taking another drag off his cigarette. "I have quite the memory of his scrotum, for some reason. I don't know why."
"ผมไม่ค่อยจะกังวลกับการจะต้องทำตัวเป็นแมนตลอดเวลาอะไรนักหนาหรอก" แมคเกรเกอร์ยอมรับ "ผมรู้เหมือนกันแหละว่ามันกำลังเป็นที่นิยม โดยเฉพาะในอเมริกาอ่ะนะ ไอ้การที่ไม่อยากให้ใคร ๆ คิดว่าเป็นโฮโมเซ็กชวลเนี่ย แต่ผมกลับคิดว่ามันน่าตื่นเต้นดีแหะ""I've never been really worries about being masculine," admits McGregor. "I know it's a very popular thing - especially in America - to not want to be seen as a homosexual. But I thought it was kind of exciting."
น่าตื่นเต้นในหนัง แต่ไม่ใช่ในชีวิตจริงหรอก "มีประสบการณ์เกย์รึเปล่างั้นเหรอ?" เขาทำท่างง ๆ ตอนที่ผม (ผู้สัมภาษณ์) ถามว่าเขาเคยข้ามเส้นมาบ้างหรือเปล่า "ไม่ครับ ไม่เคยเลย"Exciting on-screen but not in real life. "Any gay experience?" he puzzled when I ask him if he's ever jumped the fence. "No. Unfortunately not."

แต่นั่น (เรื่องที่ไม่มีประสบการณ์เกย์..เหอ เหอ) ก็ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเขาเป็นคนที่ไม่ทำอะไรท้าทายสิ่งที่คนอื่นเค้าทำกัน นักแสดงหนุ่มคนนี้ยอมรับอย่างน่าชื่นว่าเขาชอบแต่งหน้าแต่งตานิด ๆ อยู่เสมอ "ผมทาอายไลน์เนอร์บ่อยเหมือนกัน" เขาสารภาพ มันเป็นนิสัยที่เขาติดมาตั้งแต่ถ่าย Velvet Goldmine "ตอนนั้นเป็นครั้งแรกที่ผมทาตาเป็นแพนด้าแล้วก็ทาเล็บ อะไรพวกนั้น แล้วผมก็บังเอิญชอบเสียด้วย" เขาบอก "พวกนักแสดงผู้ชายส่วนใหญ่จะทำเป็นว่าไม่แต่งหน้า แต่จริง ๆ แล้วก็ต้องยอมรับว่าพวกเราแต่งหน้ากันทุกคนนั่นแหละ ไม่มีใครหรอกที่จะเดินบนพรมแดงได้โดยไม่โบ๊ะหน้าสักนิด"But that hasn't stopped him from defying stereotypes. The actor gladly admits he enjoys wearing a little eye makeup. "I wear eyeliner a lot," he confesses. It's something he picked up during Velvet Godlmine. "It was the first time I wore those smoky eys and nail vanish and stuff. I just like it," he says. "A lot of actors walk around pretending they don't wear makeup, and we all wear makeup. There's nobody walking down the red carpet who's not fucking covered."
No doubt he'll be covered once again (along with a beard and tasteful mullet) for Episode III of the Star Wars saga, in which he plays Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi. The blockbuster, he says, haven't really changed his life. "If anything," he says, "it didnt' live up to my expectations. I thought it would catapult me up the ladder a bit. It didn't at all - which is fine. It's been great, but I don't get mobbed."
Which has to be kind of a disappointment, given how much work goes into making those films. "I know I talk about how difficult they are to make," he says as he gets up from the table, heading off in his silver Porche to see his family. "But I'm playing to midair. I'm reacting to what a character might do - and I don't even know what it looks like! But I stil love being in them. And I love the fact that kids can see me in films and come chat with me about them."
