The new video for Catfish and The Bottlemen‘s ‘Hourglass‘ stars leading British actor Ewan McGregor and can be seen on Live4ever here.

“Honestly working with Sir Ewan was one of the funnest things I think I’ll ever get to do,” frontman Van McCann enthuses. “He’s the most interesting and interested guy I’ve ever met. He’s just fucking brilliant. Total gentleman! When people tell you not to meet the people you look up to, FUCK THATTTTTTTTT!”

“He genuinely buzzes off the band. Sends me photos of him listening to us before he walks onstage on his endless run of sold out Broadway. AND HE LIKES MY LYRICS! Honestly, I love him. It all makes me laugh my head off! His daughter Clara is a class A photographer as well. The artwork for the single is a photo of me and Ewan that she took. Videos for us are hard as we’ve got Austin Powers heads but this was just fucking class craic.”

The single is out through Island/Communion on June 22nd.
