Ewan McGregor has said he's flattered
by comedian Louis CK's professed “man crush.”
The 40-year-old McGregor made his
comments during an appearance on the CBC's George
Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.
After host George Stroumboulopoulos
played a comedy routine from Louis CK, in which he says, “I'm not
gay in any other way, except I want to fuck that guy [McGregor] right
in the face … and I want him to fuck me,” McGregor said, “I'm
flattered … I like it very much.”
“Some of the films I've done have
been absolutely about sex and sexuality,” he continued. “I'm
just interested in people and romance … falling in love with
somebody is one of the strongest emotional things that we go through.
Whether that's for a man or a woman, I don't really mind. I think
what's interesting is the feelings themselves.”
McGregor, who most recently played gay
opposite Jim Carrey in the 2009 comedy I Love You Phillip Morris,
added that it might be funny to sneak up on Louis CK and tap him on
the shoulder.
“Sneak up behind him. Just see how
serious he is about it,” McGregor joked. (The video is embedded in
