How big is Ewan Mcgregor's part?

I know everyone says how boring and awful this movie is, but I'm willing to sit through it for Ewan. Does he have a pretty big part or is he only in like 2 scenes?

I watched this film for the first time yesterday, mainly for Ewan, (but I was interested in watching this before I knew he was in it,) but he's not really in that many scenes. He probably only has about...ten minutes of screen time, if that. So if you're going to watch it just for him...do it anyway, 'cos he's still sexy. ;)

Do you mind, Locksley? We've just been married.

Ewan's character, and the weird love triangle were pretty pointless anyway. Felt like filler to me.

Haha, I'm going to =) I watched Nanny McPhee Returns last week for him, he had about one minute screen time lol. It was worth it!

His role is very small. And you know what They say about men with small roles: Small role = small we-e-e-e-e-ner.

Whose 'they'?

Well, according to Nicole Kidman, Ewan is a "big boy" and according to John Leguizamo he has a "huge...talent!" ;)

And Moulin Rouge never lies. Ever. :p

Obviously, you haven't seen The Pillow Book or Young Adam. Ewan McGregor could have been a porn star!

Or even Trainspotting.

Ewan was never an actor that was worried about getting his willy out....

It's interesting how this thread has turned into a discussion about the size of Ewan Mcgregor's "part"

By now the OP has seen this movie, I'm sure, but for anyone else curious, he's not on the screen a whole lot, but his role is important. Gene Vidal had more to do with Amelia Earhart's life than just being a lover.

Life, every now and then, behaves as though it had seen too many bad movies
