Ewan McGregor has revealed that he will ‘never forget’ making Moulin Rouge. The 40-year-old Scottish actor starred alongside Nicole Kidman in the 2001 musical film, and said that having to sing his lines was a whole new experience for him. Taking to MTV for ‘Moulin Rouge at 10′, a tribute to mark its ten-year anniversary, he said, “There was a real buzz about it. Everyone knew about Moulin Rouge before I met with [director] Baz [Luhrmann]. “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.” And his favourite part was performing The Tango of Roxanne. “There’s something really desperate and fantastic about the tango,” he added. “And I’ll never forget walking down through the rows of dancers really upset and singing. That was fantastic.”
