Annie, Get Your Guys
Vanity Fair April 2003

It didn't take Ewan McGregor long to warm up in front of Annie Leibovitz's camera. In fact, he and she have a well-established intimacy- after all, she shot him in a kilt for the December 1998 V.F. cover. (Anyone who saw him in 1996's The Pillow Book can claim to be fairly intimate with him as well.) When it was all done, McGregor, 31, had an hour to kill chatting up the crew before catching a plane to Alabama, where he's working on a new Tim Burton film, Big Fish. (His other upcoming projects include a neo-Rock Hudson- Doris Day comedy, Down with Love, and Young Adam, an erotic Scottish drama-don't laugh.)

With McGregor, not much had changed since his last V.F. cover shoot- the same unself-conscious attitude, the same unself-conscious look (jeans, T-shirt, white socks, and beige shoes).

Well there was one new thing: a fresh heart-and-dagger tattoo on his right shoulder which he happily showed off.
