Go Full Frontal: Ewan's McGregor



I've always liked this scene of Ewan McGregor doing his best Iggy Pop in
Velvet Goldmine. He acquits himself nicely.

The Rock Nerd in me compels me to point out that his character's shock treatment for homosexuality backstory was borrowed from Lou Reed, whose parents actually tried to cure him of The Gay. He's married to a woman now, so maybe it "worked"...

I also approve of the regularity with which Ewan McGregor flops his dick out onscreen. If I were an actor, I would have full frontal scenes written into every contract.
