McGregor Gears Up For Work Return

2008-01-14来源:
  英国演员伊万·麦格雷戈最近结束了三个月的骑摩托车环球之旅,将要全身心投入工作中。伊万曾主演过《猜火车》、《枕边书》、《艾玛姑娘要出嫁》、《哑巴歌手》、《红磨坊》、《守护者》等多部影片,还在《星际大战前传∶魅影危机》中饰演了年轻时候的欧比王。

Scottish actor Ewan McGregor has said he is looking forward to returning to work after his three-month stint around the world on a motorbike.

The film star, who is to become an ambassador for Unicef UK after getting involved with the charity on his travels, said he felt "rejuvenated".

"I worked very hard last year, I was tired and wanted a change of scenery," he told the BBC's Breakfast with Frost. "I'm ready to go back to work," said the star of the recent Star Wars films. McGregor, who travelled through 12 countries with his friend and fellow actor Charlie Boorman over the summer, visited three Unicef projects in Mongolia, the Ukraine and Kazakhstan. "The Unicef projects were the pinnacles of poignancy for us on the trip," he said. "99 per cent of people we met were enthusiastic, generous, and supportive - I was really struck by that, a really optimistic view of the world. "It was difficult to get back to London and hear some of the terrible things happening elsewhere in the world," he added. McGregor is father to Clara, aged eight, and two-year-old Esther. He is also patron of the Children's Hospice Association Scotland (Chas) and has helped it raise nearly £10m.
