There are lots of celebrity types that like to pose with or on motorcycles, and quite a few who actually ride on a regular basis. However, here's a celebrity who really would be in a class of his own, tallying over 20,000 miles, crossing 12 countries and 19 time zones, and doing it all in 115 days! A real bit of riding, that's for sure.
This actor has starred in quite a few movies before and since the journey, including 'Trainspotting', 'Star Wars: Episode 1 and 2', 'Black Hawk Down', 'Big Fish' and, most recently 'August: Osage County' with Meryl Streep. As well, the epic ride was the subject of a mini-series, titled '
The Long Way Round', which documented the adventure.
Not too many people know this about Ewan McGregor, or his riding buddy Charley Boorman, who is also an actor. Kudos to them both for doing what most people only dream of doing.
