This led to discussions of a third adventure but they wanted it to be “something different”. Boorman explained in the interview with InsideBikes, motorcycle insurance specialist Carole Nash’s online magazine, how they “reconnected” after his crash and he stayed with Boorman for a month while completing a film in the UK. McGregor had moved to Los Angeles to continue his acting career after Long Way Down which saw the two drift apart. He has since recovered but now walks with a limp due to his left leg being 1cm shorter than the other. He then broke his hip while still in recovery which resulted in him being wheelchair-bound for a prolonged period. Sadly, Boorman was involved in a serious motorbike accident in Portugal in 2016, which saw him break both of his legs after colliding with a wall. The show became a huge success and led to a sequel in 2007 called Long Way Down – this time Boorman and McGregor travelled from John o’ Groats in Scotland all the way down to Cape Town in South Africa and was another major hit. InsideBikes were fortunate enough to sit down with famed English global adventurer and TV presenter Charley Boorman recently ahead of the launch of his exciting new Apple TV+ Show, Long Way Up, but also spent time talking about his long and fascinating career.īoorman originally started his career as an actor when first appeared in films directed by his father and it was not until 2004 when his TV presenting career started with a show, Long Way Round, which saw him and Ewan McGregor embark on an epic international motorbike trip from London to New York City through Europe and Asia.īoorman and McGregor had met while filming The Serpent’s Kiss in 1997 and struck up a friendship on set.
