Ewan McGregor’s Funny Slip-Up in Front of Cooking Icon Delia Smith
So, let me tell you this hilarious and slightly awkward story involving Ewan McGregor—yes, that Ewan McGregor—Obi-Wan himself. He recently shared a pretty relatable moment during an appearance on the Dish podcast with his longtime friend and travel partner Charley Boorman. The show’s hosted by chef Angela Hartnett and radio personality Nick Grimshaw, and while they were chatting about all sorts of things—from global food experiences to motorcycles—Ewan dropped a gem of a story about totally embarrassing himself in front of British cooking legend Delia Smith.

Apparently, Ewan met Delia at a Radio Times event and was so excited to talk to her that he just couldn’t control his language. He admitted that he kept dropping F-bombs left and right—totally unintentional—but by the end of it, he said, “I really let myself down.” You could tell he was genuinely mortified, like that feeling you get when you're trying to be on your best behavior but your nerves get the better of you.
Nick Grimshaw, trying to soften the moment, chimed in and reassured Ewan, saying Delia wouldn’t have minded because she’s been around football fans for years—she was a major shareholder at Norwich City after all—so a few colorful words probably didn’t shock her too much.
And honestly, this whole conversation just shows Ewan’s charm and humility. He’s a global star, but he still gets starstruck and fumbles just like any of us. And that was just one part of the episode. The two also shared stories from their epic travel adventures for their latest series Long Way Home . One standout tale? They were hosted by villagers in Mongolia and served a meal in a traditional ger—or yurt. What was in the pot, you ask? Around 200 boiling yak testicles and other assorted entrails. Yep, you heard that right.
Boorman, always the candid one, described biting into one and it popping in his mouth—pretty graphic, I know. Ewan, apparently, is the more adventurous eater of the two, handling the meal like a pro. But the best part? The villagers found Boorman’s reaction absolutely hilarious.
All of this, from accidental swearing in front of a national treasure to adventurous meals on the road, paints a picture of Ewan McGregor that fans love—authentic, curious, and refreshingly honest. His latest motorcycle trip with Boorman, riding from Scotland to England via Scandinavia and the Arctic Circle, is another testament to that spirit of exploration. It’s not just about travel, but about the genuine human moments they gather along the way.
So yeah, even Jedi Masters can get a bit tongue-tied around famous chefs.
