Published Thursday, Jan 22 2004, 15:39 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
Ewan McGregor has revealed that he hasn't always been the best at choosing which movies to star in wisely.
While he has earned seven BAFTA nominations for his role in Big Fish, released nationwide tomorrow (Friday), McGregor singled out Emma as his one letdown.
"I was terrible in it, and it was right after 'Trainspotting' and I thought 'Should I be seen to be doing this?'" MCGregor told Radio 1.
"I learnt that's not good enough for me, to be seen to be doing something. It has to be something that I need to do or don't want anyone else to do. If I don't have a passionate response to do it I won't do it, and that stood me well."
