T2 Trainspotting star Robert Carlyle, who plays Begbie, reveals he was worried about returning to characters after 20 years, but says it was actually quite easy – like stepping into an “old pair of shoes.” Robert describes his character as he’s portrayed in his first scene in the sequel and how he is both very much the “old” Begbie, but also is somewhat “new.” Roberts calls director Danny Boyle a “genius” in what he’s done with the film. Robert discusses how the film is taking what happened in the past and looking to the future to see if the characters’ longtime friendships meant anything.
