Surely Ewan McGregor is starring as the candelabra, Lumiere [Loo-me-air] in the live action motion picture of "Beauty and the Beast" because he was a fan of the animated 90's classic, right?

Think again.

The Scottish actor revealed on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert that he's never even seen the original.

Yup, even though McGregor has four children, we guess Beauty and the Beast was never part of the Disney line up in their family.

Still, the actor defended his lack of role research by saying "it was quite handy, in a way, because when you’re going to play a part that’s so well known, it’s quite good if you don’t know it so it can be yours. I didn't have to try to sound like the guy who did it in the cartoon in the ‘90s."

McGregor also defended the fact that this live version features a gay character, LeFou [Le-Foo] played by Josh Gad, which has been met with some controversy.

The actor mocked people's adversity with the subject, and said, "he's a gay character! It's 2017 for fuck's sake."

Now that McGregor is in this one, we’re sure he wants everyone to be his guest and see it.
