HOLLYWOOD - Scottish actor Ewan McGregor has defended his aggressive outburst against acheeky journalist at Sunday's London premiere of his latest movie The Island--insisting the reporter ruined his night by criticizing his American
accent in the film.
The movie hunk was furious when a blonde journalist asked him about his
critically mauled performance as an American in the movie, and replied he had
"no plans to abandon the accent".
McGregor then shocked fans at the Leicester Square event, by storming back
towards the journalist later on and shouting, "Thank you for bringing that up--you've ruined my evening" before storming off.
The red-faced journalist was then ordered to leave the premiere and was
banned from all future screenings, reports British newspaper The Daily Mirror.
But McGregor's spokeswoman insists, "There had been an unfounded criticism
made to Ewan by an agency reporter, to which Ewan politely replied that he was
sorry she'd asked that question as it had taken the shine off his night.
"To our knowledge no one was asked to leave and it has been resolved
amicably."
