Ewan McGregor's accent woes on Beauty and the Beast - EIFF 2015

Talking to Edith Bowman at the EIFF 2015 In Person event, the Scottish actor admits it took some time to perfect his French accent for the role of Lumière in the upcoming Disney film Beauty and the Beast.

Well, at least he actually gave us a French accent, not sure why the rest of the cast has British accents when they're supposed to be in France.

I freaking loved the accent! He made Lumiere so cute and charming!

[danhae_gg]

I'm gonna watch this movie just for him. Oh god.

He eventually got the accent. He always makes me laugh in his interviews though. He’s hilarious! He’s my all time fav. Actor. I love his accent once he got it. This is my new fav video of him. Lol

Everyone said his sound of French accent was the worst, but at least he did warned us about it. I love him as obi wan in prequel trilogy.

He did a wonderful job playing Lumiere!!! He has such a great French accent, his voice is just wonderful I love him❤❤❤ He is my favorite actor in the world. Everything he does makes me happy! It is my dream to meet him one day😁😁😁

[FunTime]

Yeah the rest of it is like British. He really tried and got it right. He did amazing in the movie. It’s one of my favs he’s in. Star Wars is my fav movie though. That’s where I found out he’s my fav actor.

Can't wait to hear a "mexican" Lumiere xD

[SuperJumpBros]

*Obi wan never told you* about his voice!

[DaDunge]

If his wife is french they should just have allowed him to copy her accent and it would have been more real than anything they came up with.

What a excellent video. Thanks for the work you put into it! Keep it up :) :)

[HugsForEverybodyYay]

I don't know whether to be excited, concerned, nervous or just flat out scared.

Hopefully the final movie turns out great though! I bet he got it at some point! 😁

Could Ewan be perfect to be Norman Osborn for MCU's Spider-Man?

[liam-nokn]

Unpopular opinion, I thought he did a good job.

[GodsSon]

Have you heard his Minnesota accent? lol

[mynanfyou]

Tells the same story every interview 😂😂😂
