Ewan McGregor Horses Around on GMA

Ewan McGregor visited Good Morning America today (May 13) to promote his new movie "Angels & Demons" in New York City.

Looking like a stud, the 38-year-old wore black pants matched with a black sweater and tee while he entertained the crowd, throwing some horse shoes.

McGregor himself has been all over the world filming for his movies that has led him to some surprises. During "Moulin Rouge," the movie was taped in Sydney instead of Paris, and his latest movie, "Angels and Demons," takes place in Rome, yet it was taped in L.A. “Imagine that? That was the only reason I took the job and then they said my scenes were in LA.”

Adding, Ewan says, “I’ve often fantasized that Rome would be a great place to work. Swan off set with your sunglasses on, walk to the nearest café, but that didn’t happen.”

Ewan will be playing in the follow-up to "The Da Vinci Code" as Camerlengo Patrick McKenna - who is charged with the interim ruling of the Vatican City after the death of the Pope.

The Vatican was restructured in Los Angeles due to being denied permission for any filming inside its walls.

While Mr McGregor was stuck in LA, co-star Tom Hanks ran around Rome after the baddie as a symbologist and detective Robert Langdon.

"We had only three or four scenes [together] and a bit of running around, but it was very nice," says Ewan.

And what does he think of Hanks as an actor? "He's a lovely man and a great actor and like most good actors, he was very comfortable to work with and there was no starry behavior, you know, he was one of the cast."
