At his spotlight panel at New York Comic Con 2023, actor Ewan McGregor couldn’t say much about Star Wars, or Moulin Rouge!, or Trainspotting, or even Velvet Goldmine. But he could deliver an impromptu class in tea-making for Americans.
“I find it difficult to find a good cup of tea in America,” McGregor told the audience in the Javits Center’s Empire Room. “In America, it’s an art that’s maybe not as known. The best way to make a cup of tea is in a teapot… [Boil water] less than 3 minutes, you got a good color but not a good taste. More than 3 minutes, you get both.”
He’s not a fan of honey or sugar in his tea, though. (“Boooo!” cried one of his fans.) He doesn’t seem into sugar in hot drinks, whatsoever. “I like strong black coffee. I don’t like any syrup anyway. I don’t like vanilla in my coffee.”
He also dropped this New York-local bombshell: “I’m not a big bagel guy.”
While New York Comic Con attendees could debate pre-show about their favorite Star Wars Prequel Trilogy films, McGregor couldn’t speak of Star Wars due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Unbelievably, his spotlight panel (moderated by Ashley Robinson) was his first NYCC appearance.
He respected the strike rules and spoke broadly about this personal life and career, avoiding direct mentions of anything about his role as the handsome Obi-Wan Kenobi, nor anything Moulin Rouge. The Scottish Kenobi actor did deliver his support for the strike: “It’s very important we’re taking this action. There are so many things that need to be addressed that have been left unaddressed. It’s such a shame that it’s taking the studio this amount of time to come to a solution. But as a result, I’m 100% behind the strike and involved with my union.”
He offered an apology for not being able to speak of his film and television projects, “but that’s just the way we have to do it.” McGregor’s words land around the time thatSAG-AFTRA reported industry CEOs have resorted to “bully tactics,” and failed to offer reasonable protection from AI replacement, wage increases to keep up with inflation, and sufficient work revenue.
He describes his strike life as domestic. He said, “My children need to get to school.” He’s reading to pass the time. Under strike parameters, McGregor could articulate he was inspired by Ted Simon’s books, Jupiter’s Travel andDon’t Boil the Canary.
McGregor conversed about previously playing Iago in an Othello production at the London-based Donmar Warehouse. “There’s a sort of unwritten rule when you go and watch an actor, when you go and watch somebody’s show. You either don’t tell them that you’re coming, just so that you don’t put people on edge or anything. I remember being in the middle of a soliloquy and looking up and, Oh, it’s Jude

Bethesda Game Studio's latest RPG, , carries on the developer's long tradition of highly customizable character creation systems. As one of the main draws of Bethesda games, these systems are all but expected to include detailed face and body sliders, a decent variety of hair, beard, and accessory options, and variable background choices. certainly delivers in this area, and although some complaints have been aired regarding the quality of the character graphics in, there's no doubt that Bethesda has at least allowed players to create the character they really want, even if those characters may not look as stellar as some might hope.

Nothing moves until Jordan “Detune” DiSorbo enters the room. When he closes one door, another opens. It doesn’t fly open, like something out of a jump-scare horror flick.
