McGREGOR: 'I WAS A MISERABLE DRUNK'Scottish screen star EWAN McGREGOR battled alcoholism during his rise to fame, and he quickly plunged into a drink-fuelled depression.But the STAR WARS hunk still can't understand why none of the directors he worked with pulled him up on his spiralling problem, and as a result he looks back at his early career with deep embarrassment.He tells PLAYBOY magazine, "I was just ashamed of myself, really."None of my directors ever said, 'You know, I'd rather you didn't drink at work.' None of them. And they must have known. I was reeking of (alcohol)."Originally I was a happy drunk. But later I was miserable because it's a depressant."
