Ewan McGregor To Quit Acting?


Hunky Scot EWAN McGREGOR is considering breaking his many fans' hearts - because he's is keen to give up acting. The heart-throb, who shot to fame as the drug addled Mark 'Rent Boy' Renton in cult film TRAINSPOTTING (1996), says he feels much more at home as an adventurer and documentary maker.

The dad-of-two claims he's lost his taste for being famous, and wants to regain control of his life. He says, "I have a great taste for adventure. I feel much more like me, and I'm not surrounded by people who are doing stuff for me. I've spent far too long on film sets surrounded by hundreds of people where every decision is made for you. "

He adds, "I've worked with some actors whose goal and mission is to be as famous as they can be, but I'm not interested in that. It's very hard to work with those people. " (NFA/WNWCAN/CPT)
