Ewan's a robot hero
Last updated 15 March 2005

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor's new animated film 'Robots' premiered in London last night.

Ewan's the voice of Rodney Copperbottom, a robot who invents things. He ends up fighting an evil corporation who want to rid the world of cheap parts to make the robots buy expensive upgrades.

Robin Williams and Halle Berry are in it too.

Ewan turned up to the premier looking casual in jeans and jacket and we were very impressed by his 'Blue Peter' badge.

He's experienced many things in the world, but it sounds like Ewan found appearing on 'Blue Peter' a bit overwhelming:

"It was a huge honour for me."

"They gave me a 'Blue Peter' badge for being a UNICEF ambassador, it was great."

"I hadn't imaged I'd be so nervous, but when I heard the music I was terrified. It was very scary."

Ewan's got loads coming up. He's starring in two more animations - 'Valiant' with Ricky Gervais and 'Gnomeo and Juliet' with Kate Winslet.

He'll also be returning to the stage in the musical 'Guys And Dolls', which starts in London's West End this June.

He says, after his round-the-world bike trip, it's exactly the kind of project he was hoping for...

"Very often the temptation is to do your impression of something, your Hamlet, or your Scottish King. I'd love to do that one day."

"But, I wanted a real team effort, a real company feeling. If a musical isn't a team effort then nothing is."

"I think it will be everything I'm looking for at the moment."

"Very often the temptation is to do your own impression of something, your Hamlet or your Scottish king, I'd love to do that one day."

"But I wanted a real team effort, a real company feeling. If a musical isn't a team effort then nothing is."

"I think it will be everything I'm looking for at the moment."
