Cannes 2012: Jurist Ewan McGregor Drops the F-Bomb During Palme d’Or Press Conference 10:57 AM PDT 5/16/2012 by Scott Roxborough (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)

Also, the actor's fellow panelist Nanni Moretti complains about all the media attention at Wednesday's event.

CANNES - Ewan McGregor dropping the f-bomb was about as exciting as it got at the Cannes Jury press conference on Wednesday. When asked what he had done to prepare to sit on the jury that will decide this year’s Palme d’Or winner, the Scottish star of Trainspotting and Beginners said he just looked at the program of the official Competition line-up. 
"And I thought, f--king hell, there some good names in that!" McGregor said, before admitting he hadn’t done “any swotting up” by studying the Competition directors or their work.

The other members of the Jury – including French designer Jean Paul Gaultier, Oscar-winning director Alexander Payne and actresses Diane Kruger and Emmanuelle Devos – were less graphic in their statements, pledging only to judge each Competition film by its merits and, in Gaultier’s words “to try and see them like an ordinary cinema-goer.”
