McGregor bike trip hits bump in road

[United Press International]

Ukraine, May 10 (UPI) -- Actors Ewan McGregor and Charley
Boorman were reportedly detained by Ukraine border guards while they
on a 20,000-mile global bike trip.
Boorman, son of film director John Boorman, and McGregor
were released after local businessman Igor Vaytsekhovskiy recognized
the "Moulin Rouge" and "Big Fish" stars, The World Entertainment
News Network said Monday.
Russian filmmaker Stanislav Komarov, part of a team filming
the trip, said McGregor and Boorman set off on their own for the
Ukrainian border and were stopped by guards demanding documentation.
"Four hours later, our satellite phone rang," Komarov said.
"It was Ewan and he sounded very alarmed. He pleaded with us to get
there as quickly as possible. We raced to the border, but they had
gone."
The filmmaker said McGregor and Boorman were at
Vaytsekhovskiy's home, entertaining their rescuer by singing and
playing the guitar.
