Not quite as quick as he used to be.

Ewan McGregor has been filmed running through the streets of Edinburgh during the filming of T2, the sequel to Trainspotting, along with co-star Ewen Bremner.

The 45-year-old will reprise his role as Mark Renton in the sequel to Danny Boyle 1996 classic, arguably one of the greatest British films ever made.

The cast have reportedly been filmed in a number of Scottish locations since filming started in May, with all of the original cast returning for the sequel.

Boyle has revealed that the script is based on Irvine Welsh’s sequel to the Trainspotting novel, Porno.

The movie is due for release in January 2017.
