Ewan McGregor 'will never forget Moulin Rouge'



Ewan McGregor has revealed that there was a lot of pressure to sing on Moulin Rouge.

He opened up about the intense expectations for the film on MTV's special Moulin Rouge At 10, a tribute to the ten year anniversary of the popular movie.

"There was a real buzz about it. Everyone knew about Moulin Rouge before I met with [director] Baz [Luhrmann]," the actor said. "I had never sung like I was expected to sing for Moulin Rouge, where the singing was a part of the storytelling and not just part of the character."

McGregor went on to reveal that his favourite musical number was 'The Tango of Roxanne'.

He added: "There's something really desperate and fantastic about the tango. And I'll never forget walking down through the rows of dancers really upset and singing. That was fantastic."
