The Reason Ewan McGregor & Danny Boyle Didn’t Speak for Years - The Graham Norton Show 

It's actually really nice to see a "celebrity feud" be discussed with such maturity and honesty; both admit what they did to contribute to the conflict with humility. Again, so nice.

Another reason why Graham's show is one of the best, he can go from the funniest interviews to the most tear jerker ones by creating a really comfortable environment for his guests.

Wow, faced with a very difficult question and they both handled it like absolute gents. Admirable

"I was so upset I actually did The Beach with Danny" LOL!!

That bit about the plane and the lights... that explains men pretty well!

Graham is such a good interviewer. He was able to turn such an emotional answer into a hilarious moment

It's so great to see celebrities openly express their friendship with each other.

you know this is why graham norton is the best seasoned host out there, i love the way he handled this, other interviewers would have asked this question in such a pretentious emotional deep way which would've just made it awkward but graha just charged into the question with a great positive energy and humour which killed the tension even before it rose.

I know I say this a lot about most guests, but I didn't expect Danny himself to turn up on the show - I hope this leads to more directors ending up on the couch

its amazing to see how they handled a difficult question they were terrific :)

The description has trippled my respect for this show.

The fact that these very public social celebrates are willing to share their awkward human interactions on the show is really sweet.

That’s the raw reality of life...we don’t always do things right but it’s how we handle it afterwards. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Stop digging Graham. Stop digging it up

Brilliant interjection by Robert Carlyle on The Beach.

They all handled this so well, including Graham, like I would become a nervous wreck if I were asked a question like this

Ewan tearing up cause Danny's complimenting him, Awww

i never knew Rumple had a sense of humour!

I'd feel really intimidated if I ever saw these four actors together in one place. Cannot un-see Trainspotting.

love seeing people get over problems and be positive for the future

Graham is so so good at what he does. Just... bloody brilliant.

"courage is grace under pressure"

I've often thought a hugely important part of any TV series or film is casting people who are perfect fit for their characters. Looking at them all there you can see Renton in McGregor, Johnny's sarcastic wit is pure Sickboy, Robert Carlyle looks like a quiet guy who could explode in a nanosecond and glass someone, and Ewen Bremner is..........well........he's a bit Spudlike!

congratulations graham on your NTA!

Yes where would the world be without the grace and courage of actors.

Watching this video made me realize I had never heard Ewan McGregor speaking off character with his actual accent! Use that accent more often, man!

this was a heartwarming interview , really .

i love The Beach movie. Danny Boyle and his visual ideas are breathtaking. From the 90s, the beach always inspired a lot of people. A traveller's idea of a paradise. (before it gets ugly)

I love Ewan McGregor

You could make a great novel or film out of that one moment the two of them in an empty 1st class.

he stole that 'courage is grace under pressure' line from Hemingway lol

Good! Now that they've buried the hatchet, Danny and Ewan can go make an Obi-Wan in the desert movie!

I love Robert Carlyle, he's so amazing talented & funny too :)

My two favorite people on earth.

Ewan is such a good dude

the Shallow Grave is my favorite of Danny.

love Robert Carlyle

its crazy cus I read the beach and ewan would have been so perfect for that character but life is strange and its sad they stopped talking

Sigh, miller has aged. They all have, and so have I. 😭

Ewan would've been great in the beach! Maybe even better than Leo

"We had our own feuds going on..."

Waw, that went very deep, very quickly. Superb.

Boyle looks like an old and bold Morrissey.

Only Grahame could have brought this up and generated laugh and good chats out of it.

Damn, I loved the first Trainspotting. I was 11 when it came out and watched it with my sister on VHS numerous times. Seeing these guys now - damn, I feel really old.

Annoys me that we are two weeks behind the U.K. for the show on BBC America

Graham is the master.

The description writer being serious for once haha

Graham needs to get those lights raised or something. Every episode is just everyone sweating their cods off.

Carlyle is the best!

when are they uploading the entire episode. T2 cast is the best

An actor should not expect a director to cast them in every single movie they produce.

Robert reminded me....I just want them to bring back stargaze universe for a 3rd season

Well well, if it isn't Rako Hardeen

I'm really tired and I heard Graham say #tagteamdanny 😂😂😂

Ewan was really angry that Boyle chose Di Caprio instead of him. And he said he didn’t want to work with Boyle anymore..

OK but why is Ewan bold?I love his scottish tick hair..

Hey.... that's Renard.

Considering how bad the beach turned out to be, mcgregor dodged a bullet. Carlyle didn’t 😂

Well, The Beach sucks so, good for Ewan.

ewan beautiiful hear !!!!

yes graham

Trainspotting was brilliant of course, but oddly enough I actually prefer the much less well-known Shallow Grave.

What's voldemort doing on the couch?!

Fun fact: DiCaprio was a choice to play an older young version of Anakin Skywalker

Ewan , pull yourself together, What a baby you are

ask him about star wars story kenobi now that the teaser trailer realest.

Ewan took the huff basically.

While clearly a pre prepared piece. I still feel Danny is shouldering Ewan's burden. maybe he was a bit cocky and immature happens to so all

sound like Kevin Smith director

Baldy-Wan Kenobi.

I remember I was so angry when they picked Fassbender over McGregor to do Steve jobs since Dany is directing it, he looks more like Jobs and would be fantastic! but I'm glad he didn't do that cuz that movie flopped, well, so did The Beach... Leo got a Razzie nomination for that.

I thought this was about them actually not speaking lol

The Beach wasn’t a great film. Ewan was better off without it.

So they fell out because Ewan didn't get a role?

Yates barrier spray is bad for you

So Ewan expected to be automatically cast in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE, because?

i wasn't in the forth film ;(

Ewan a drama queen never!

I used to like and love Ewan Mcgregor but due to his cheating on his wife i don't not any more

Ewan’s reaction to not being cast was very childish and entitled.

aw :'( so sad

cutee

Robert Carlyle's face looks messed up, he must have gotten some work done sadly

When Graham brings up discussing the Beach! Ewen Mcgregor looks devastated, while Danny Boyle looks really upset and apologetic. Would been interest if Ewan was in it?

Bald

Oh get a room already you two!

Ewan, I beg you, grow your hair back.

Thank goodness, The Beach was awful!

what big problems these people have had!

First?

Ewan McGgregor was lying so much through that explanation that he couldn't leave his nose alone

First.

1st

The pointless pamphlet promisingly hammer because whistle morphologically zoom anenst a coherent pelican. immense, bite-sized week

McGregors ego got the better of him. Overrated actor anyway.

Slum dog millionaire was the most overrated movie in history. Yeah, I said it.

I think Graham is the only interviewer who can pull this off... there probably was a pre-interview but still, pretty graceful, hilarious interview.

awww... that sucks they couldn't get past it for so long but great they finally did... that story on the plane is kinda sad; I'm glad their friendship has survived, I love them both...

thank you Danny for not casting him in that film, because if you had, Ewan wouldn't of played obi wan in star wars! so thank God he cast Leo instead!
