WELCOME !

Hello there, my name is Charley Boorman, Ewan MaGriggar’s best friend, and this the story of my epic trip to the pub with my best friend Ewan MaGriggar.  You will know me from my father's work directing such films as The Deliverance, The Emerald Forest and The Zardoz.

As my best friend Ewan MaGriggar is such a massive star, between the movies he needs to take time out, away from the spot light. Luckily, when my best friend Ewan MaGriggar made the momentous decision to walk, entirely on his own, to the pub I was, by pure coincidence, on a camping holiday right outside his front door and decided to go with him.

So, I hope you enjoy our trip of a lifetime, with only two people, just me and my best friend Ewan MaGriggar and me, Charley Boorman and my best friend Ewan MaGriggar walking to the pub with no back up at all. Contrary to popular opinion Ewan MaGriggar is still my best friend even though he made that cologne commercial without me, even though it was inspired by our trip together. Here’s a link to it if you really need to see it. You will note that I am not in it. Hardy Pullidoff – The Smell of Betrayal

I now have my own show anyway, called Border Control, which is literally about racing across countries as fast as possible without looking in order to film me, Charley Boorman, Ewan MaGriggar’s best friend, filling in forms and waiting at border controls. Again contrary to popular opinion Ewan MaGriggar is still my best friend even though he refused to come on that trip.

Best wishes

Charley Boorman
(Ewan MaGriggar’s best friend)


Ewan and Thingy was on the front page of the Motorcycle News website even though there are no motorcycles in it anywhere.

I would like Charley Boorman to know that I now have to ride my motorbike around with Bellend written on my back so the joke is on me.

Ewan and Thingy recently appeared live for charity in The Leicester Square theatre. If you want to book them for a live appearance please contact: mward@internationalartistes.com
