Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman

[Bewlay Bros.]

Whilst I like both these people I can't help feeling Mr Boorman is trying so hard to be as popular as Mr McGregor.

Yes I know he has a mildly famous father, but Boorman is hardly a household name unlike McGregor is it?

I just feel he is saying to the world "Look I am as famous as me ole mate Ewan, honest"

It is vaguely similar to the way Jonathan Wilkes kept harping on about Robbie Williams.

Am I alone in this view?

No,i agree,i`d never heard of thingy Boorman before the first series.Who is he anyway?

[Bewlay Bros.]

Bit part actor, son of John Boorman who directed Deliverence with Burt Reynolds.

..who cares if he is famous or not?, it's a story of 2 friends on bikes, when I first saw the first episode of the first series, I decided "don't like this pompus uperclass twit"...how wrong I was , as the series and the miles progressed , it dawned on me it was a story of true friendship and discovery of humanity at it's best....Ewan could of taken an A lister with him, I doubt it would have turned out as well as it did, am a bit miffed that Ewan took his wife along for part of the journey in the African series though, when is it starting?...

Charley Boorman was terrific in The Emerald Forest.If he had chosen to pursue it I think he could have been the bigger star of the two.
