Ewan McGregor denies ruling out return as Renton (SCOTSMAN.COM)



EWAN McGregor has denied turning down the chance to
reprise his role as Renton in Porno, the new film based on an Irvine Welsh book. The Scottish actor’s starring role in Trainspotting is one of his most iconic parts. It had been widely reported that McGregor turned down the chance to star in a movie version of Porno – which is set nine years after Trainspotting.

 However, writing on Twitter, the actor insisted he had not been approached. After a fan asked why he had turned down the role, the 41-year-old said: “I’ve never been offered Porno. Never seen a script. “Never had a call from anyone to make that film.” His comments prompted fans to tweet novelist Welsh, urging him to get McGregor on board. One follower, Shane Campbell, wrote: “It would be a blockbuster! Make it happen!”
