Ewan McGregor says he “quite liked” French kissing Jim Carrey in “I Love You Phillip Morris”

How many times have we read about straight actors having to psych themselves out to do a gay kissing scene or hear about how they got freaked out by the stubble and on and on. Frankly, it’s real boring.

But maybe we are seeing an end to that. Sean Penn and James Franco totally made out in Milk and neither acted creeped out by it that I can recall. And now you have  Ewan McGregor discussing his intense kissing scenes with Jim Carrey in the upcoming film I Love You Phillip Morris.

He told the Los Angeles Times this week that not only did he not mind kissing Carrey, he “quite liked it.”

“It’s a love story, an escape movie and a comedy, all about this man who goes to incredible lengths to be with the man he loves,” he says. “I like it because it’s a gay film, which is to say it’s a film about two men in love, and I think that’s an important element of it. But it’s not a film about them being gay. They just happen to be gay. I also got to French kiss Jim Carrey a lot, and I quite like that too.”

And really who wouldn’t? I think Jim Carrey is awfully cute!
