McGregor ducks issue of director Polanski's sex charge

EWAN McGregor is very fond of Roman Polanski and considers him one of the best directors he has ever worked with. But the British actor does not want to talk about the director's possible extradition to the US to face a 33-year-old sex charge.

"It just doesn't involve me," said the star of Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge and three Star Wars movies in Sydney.

McGregor, who stars in Polanski's new political thriller The Ghost Writer, admits there is a reason for his reticence. The 76-year-old filmmaker has asked to be talked about as a director "and not make any comment because it's better for him if we don't".
