Now, Ewan McGregor is no role model. He may have a few good movies, but he is a pervert. However, I stumbled upon what he said on why he quit drinking, and I thought it was admirable enough to share. Just something to think about. I would soon have gotten a reputation for being a drunk actor and therefore would not get any work, so I really felt it was time to give it up. But I remember doing interviews, drinking and smoking, just saying, I am never, ever going to f-ing stop! And I said it with real pride, you know? Cos I wanted to be the best drinker as well as everything else and thats a really bad slippery slope. So its much easier now and my works much better. I find that life in generals much more fun without it. My wifes delighted that I stopped, because Im much more present in our marriage and Im a much better father. I remember, funnily enough, the last time I had a drink. I was sitting with these guys and were all talking about how much we love our kids and I thought, Well, why are we all sitting in a pub? Its four in the morning. How much do we love our kids? Because tomorrow morning none of us will be any use to them. And I thought, F- it. I dont have a problem with people drinking; its something I chose not to do. It just took me a long time to grow up.
