Ewan Mcgregor Finds New Holiday Haven In Trieste
18 April 2000 (WENN)
EWAN McGREGOR has found the perfect holiday hideaway in Trieste after spending last summer there filming new movie Nora (1999). The Trainspotting (1996) actor followed his literary hero James Joyce's footsteps in the Italian city and found himself falling in love with the place - and its leading tenor. McGregor plays Joyce, who left his native Dublin, Ireland, to seek inspiration in Italy with his lover Nora Barnacle He says, "I found this wonderful place. I can really see why Joyce liked the town - you can really feel him there. It's very cosmopolitan... It's a great town, great places to visit. There's this one little tiny restaurant where all the crew went and one of the guys who goes there all the time is the head tenor at the Trieste theatre... While we were filming we'd go there, finish dinner, clear back the tables and start singing and dancing. It's brilliant."
