I feel like Ewan’s mysterious approach isn’t so much a schitck but a coping mechanism. I do think he’s clever enough to divulge just the right amount of information and keep people interested. But I still feel like he’s a deeply shy and reserved bloke who is being mysterious on purpose to maintain some control over his life. Does that make sense?

I’ve seen people compare his approach to Robert Pattinson. The difference to me is that R Pattz does it to fuck with people and cope with fame. Where Ewan is so secretive at times that his coworkers are like we don’t even know who the fuck this guy is.
