"Ewan McGregor has reflected back on his life since first gaining fame by starring in Trainspotting. Directed by Slumdog Millionaire&amp;#039;s Danny Boyle, Trainspotting stars McGregor as Renton, who hangs out with a group of heroin addicts but wants to clean himself up from drugs.  &amp;#039;It was unbelievable to feel part of it,&amp;quot; the Salmon Fishing in the Yemen actor told the Daily Mail.  &amp;quot;I used to hang out a bit with Oasis, and Damon Albarn was always knocking about somewhere or other, and like a fan I felt part of it. It was certainly a high point of my life. But it was also a time of massive debauchery - but then again, I was in my twenties.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I got away with it more or less unnoticed. I was a maniac on the booze but I only remember it fondly.&amp;quot; Despite Trainspotting&amp;#039;s theme, McGregor revealed that he plans on showing the film to his 16-year-old daughter Clara, as he considers it to be the most &amp;quot;important film&amp;quot; that he&amp;#039;s ever made. McGregor also revealed a time he embarrassed himself in front of singer Iggy Pop. &amp;quot;Oh, it was awful. That was back in the bad old days,&amp;quot; he shared. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d played a version of him in a film called Velvet Goldmine. I&amp;#039;d worked with a choreographer to move like him and sang all his music live on stage. &amp;quot;He was playing at this Versace fashion show I&amp;#039;d been invited to so I went backstage to meet him. But I was blootered [drunk] by that point. &amp;quot;I came to my senses when something in my brain went, &amp;#039;What are you doing?&amp;#039; He was just sitting there looking at me while I was dancing away, doing my Iggy Pop impersonation to Iggy Pop. It was one of the more embarrassing moments of my life.&amp;quot; Watch the trailer for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
