Ewan
McGregor has said will never move to Hollywood
because he loathes the studio system.
In
a frankly worded broadside, the Scot condemned
the Los Angeles-based film industry for treating
actors as bankable products rather than people.
Asked
if he would ever consider moving his family
to Hollywood, London-based McGregor replied:
``No. I might like working there, but I'd never
live there.''
He
said: ``To tell you the truth, the system makes
me sick sometimes. They put actors on to A,
B and C lists, according to how much money each
person can make for the studio, and I just think:
'How dare you do that? We're not a bunch of
letters to make you money -- we're people'.''
McGregor,
30, who has a daughter with his wife Eve, 35,
also used the interview to deny rumours he had
been romantically entwined with Nicole Kidman.
McGregor,
who stars alongside the Australian actress in
the musical Moulin Rouge, which will be shown
in UK cinemas next month, said this was a ``lie''
and that he was happily married.
