@EvilestGem 10 месяцев назад

Well it's uncomfortable for some of these guys to do this sort of thing. Just take McGregor for example, he has one eye on the camera and so knows he has a persona to uphold add to this his manic character and you have a bit of mixed bag hence his bizarre behaviour at times.
