Ewan McGregoris not a fan of lying — even when he’s contractually obligated to do so.
McGregor opened up about his return to theStar Warsuniverse with theObi-Wan Kenobi spin-off serieson Disney+, admitting that keeping the project a secret was a struggle.
“It’s awkward,” he said onThe Ellen DeGeneres Showon Tuesday. “The studio and the franchises, they want to keep everything totally secret, of course, which I understand, but as the person being asked over and over and over again, ‘Would you do it again?’ And I’m already talking to them about it, but I can’t say that I am.”
The actor, 48, said the more he was asked about the possibility of reprising his role as the beloved Obi-Wan Kenobi, the harder it became to lie.
“For four years, I was saying, ‘Well I’d be happy to do it again! I’m just waiting for the call.’ But all the while, it was embarrassing!” he said. “Lying!”
