Wished they had shown him singing the entire song. BTW, Ewan and his wife just adopted a 4yr old girl from Mongolia.
If you're interested in the story here's the link for it too:

Ewan is just so playing the guitar....

 

[lady luck]

And the story is great, too

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and it is just Ewan is on of my favourite actors so it's good to see that he has a good music taste

 

[WalkOn21]

He has a pretty good voice.

I think this is the wrong subforum, BTW.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I've seen that before, he's awesome

 

[SpaceOddity]

I saw that the first time it aired. Ewan did a great job - it'd be interesting to hear a full version of it. (The context of the situation was certainly interesting as well... I highly rec the entire series).

 

[BonoFox1]

I am so an Ewan fan...and Yes! He does a great job with Running to stand still

 

[scha]

He has a very gentle voice, thanks for the link! I would love to hear a full version too. Running To Stand Still is my favourite from JT!

He was actually in Ukraine when he sang that in someone's house. I was so shocked when it happened I couldn't believe it. I am a fan of his, and U2, and I like Ukraine too, so this was a very weird but cool paradox for me when it happened

This is great isn't it? I got this DVD at Christmas time and love all of it but this is just a bonus isn't it? Thanks for the link I recommend everyone see this DVD as it is really great, Ewan fan or not.

He was awesome singing and playing guitar. I would like to see the whole song too. I am currently obsessed with Ewan as Christian in the movie Moulin Rouge he sings really good in it. It's nice to know he's a fan of U2.

Wow Ewan is a terrific actor , only He to save a bit of the last Star Wars that final speech to Vader before the bastard burned was amazing , and yes he does sing great in Moulin Rouge , his version of Your Song is amazing . And now he sings u2 , gotta love this guy . Shows he definitely has a good taste in music.

I still haven't got around to watching that show (Long Way Round) yet. I bought the book about their travels a few months back. Cheers for the link though.

 

[Babyface_20]

I've always loved how powerful his voice is
He did an awesome job as always

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

I love Ewan McGregor so much...and this just made me love him ten times more!

 

[elisa519_U2adik]

i loooooove ewan mcgregor. and yes he does a great job of playing christian in moulin rouge! and he's kinda the reason why i became a star wars fan hahaha

actually i first heard running to stand still because of that episode of long way round sorry but really that's it. coz i wasnt yet born when joshua tree was released. i heard ewan's version first, then u2's.

anyway, It's nice to know that Ewan is a fan of U2.

wait! i just realized that.....

Ewan is pronounced 'yew-wun' just like U1 U1 loves U2!

a bit corny though.. hehe

 

[WalkOn21]

Ewan is pronounced 'yew-wun' just like U1 U1 loves U2!

You pronounce "1" as "wun"?

 

[elisa519_U2adik]

not really, but it sounds like one, i dont know how to actually spell words according to how it sounds

 

[SunBloc]

He shouldn't have been nervous about singing -- Great Voice!! Didn't know he was a U2 fan..

 

[thankyou]

Well heres the inspiration:

can you imagine those two together having a "chat"? to be a fly on a wall !!(most likely at a pub ) The joking would never end.

 

[WalkOn21]

not really, but it sounds like one, i dont know how to actually spell words according to how it sounds

In English the 'wan' of Ewan isn't pronounced like 'one'.

Ewan -> You - wun
One -> Wan
