Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor Kiss in Paris
By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 2nd 2010 06:59AM
Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor were named knights in France's National Order of Arts and Letters on Monday and even went so far as to give one another a big kiss while at the Ministry of Culture in Paris, France. The Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres is a recognition of a significant contribution to the arts. French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand honored the two actors, telling them that French movie-goers love their work. "I love you Jim Carrey! I love you Ewan McGregor!" Mitterand declared. The duo were in Paris to promote 'I Love You Phillip Morris,' a gay romance that features Carrey as a con man who falls in love with his cellmate.


The movie is based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell (Jim Carrey). While incarcerated, Russell falls in love with his cell mate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). After Morris is released from prison, Russell escapes from prison four times in order to be reunited with Morris.
Carrey's notable works include 'Ace Ventura' and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.' McGregor starred in 'Trainspotting,' 'Star Wars' and 'Moulin Rouge.'

I used to think that these two were decent actors. What a joke. They disgust me.

Get over it.
It's a publicity stunt, or you too mentally and sexually retarded to figure that out. DOI!!!!!
Get a life. No one is being forced to kiss anyone. No one is asking to kiss you. If your breath is as bad as your attitude, who would want to kiss you?
Why Glenn? Because they are having fun by making you mad?? I'm pretty sure with their millions, they don't care what you think. And Im also pretty sure with a hot girlfriend like Jenny McCarthy, Jim isn't going gay any time soon.
Really??? Is it that serious????
I think they look great, personally.
Ewan McGregor can do no wrong short of murder/rape.
I agree. This is sickening and as bad as those 2 actors in Humpback Mountain.
Glenn can have an opinion......if you don't like it tuff , maybe you people should grow up.
Glen,
Are you a Southern Evangelical Baptist minister? You Should run for office in South Carolina.
They can't make everyone happy. lol
Glenn - I just got the memo from Ewan and Jim.. They feel the same about you. Love ya!
"I used to think that these two were decent actors. What a joke. They disgust me."
Um, you can like it or not like it, but what does it have to do with their acting ability?
I bet if it was two hot women, Glenn would be saying something different.
It was a joke!!!
GROSSSSS
