Hollywood movie star Ewan McGregor is about to make a tv documentary showing himself risking life and limb driving a motorcycle across Siberia as a part of his round the world trip. This Sunday Mail article is full of the dangers that await Ewan in the big bad world…
Luke March, a lecturer in Soviet and Post Soviet Politics at Edinburgh University, warned: ‘The further you get out the cities in Kazakhstan and Siberia there’s a lack of protection. If something did happen you’re very much on your own.
Scary.
But don’t worry Ewan fans. Should he fall through the Lake Baikal ice and meet an untimely end the crazy fool’s life is insured for a cool $20 million. Chances of anything going wrong are slim though…
McGregor and Boorman will be alone on their epic three-month trip, although a backup team will monitor their every move.
The pair’s progress will be watched from a London office and they will be shadowed from a distance by a team of security and medical experts.
Alone. But strangely… not.
- What next?
