The latest instalment of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's epic road trip series, Long Way Home, provided some serious chuckles during their most recent escapades.
In the pair's fourth journey together, streaming on Apple TV+, they venture across a magnificent 17 European nations astride trusty old motorbikes.
A sneak peek shared by Express Online features a delightful snippet where Hollywood A-lister McGregor unveils a cheeky addition to his motorcycle, hinting at endless opportunities for fun-loving pranks.
"Such a difference when the sun is out," remarks Boorman as they cruise along a picturesque rural road.
McGregor, pondering their whereabouts, muses: "Think we're in Germany, Charley?", reports the Express.
As vehicles zoom past, Boorman responds with uncertainty: "I don't know, we're going a lot faster. Or they are."
The duo carry on their trek, with McGregor reflecting fondly on his passion for vintage motorcycles via the show's narration.
"I've always ridden old motorbikes," he confesses. "And this one is a 1974 California police bike."
Trying to maintain composure, the Trainspotting icon flicks on the motorcycle's original siren, causing Boorman to cast concerned glances.
Side-splittingly, McGregor waves his hand towards the roadside and commands: "Pull over!"
Boorman, breaking into a grin, retorts: "No!" He playfully protests: "I don't want to be arrested! I haven't done anything!" all while McGregor surrenders to laughter.
Long Way fans are promised an abundance of such high jinks as McGregor and Boorman's series makes its debut on Friday, 9th May.
The introductory episode synopsis reveals: "As departure day approaches, Ewan resurrects his old California police bike while Charley brings a 1970s rust heap back from the dead."
Their escapade then takes them through the Netherlands and Germany in the second episode, featuring a sentimental trip to Boorman's mother's birthplace, alongside adventures on the Danish Islands.
However, their journey hits a bit of turbulence when McGregor's trusty police bike needs urgent repairs in Sweden, though they later experience the stunning vistas of Norway in the fourth episode.

Novak Djokovic quit tennis in tearful confession to wife
Novak Djokovic quit tennis in tearful confession to wife Novak Djokovic actually decided to quit tennis in 2018 before a tearful plea from his family and team inspired a U-turn that saw him go on to win 12 more Grand Slam titles Novak Djokovic relaxes with his wife Jelena Djokovic (Image:) Novak Djokovic had previously decided to hang up his racket and informed his sponsors that he would be ending his tennis career, before a change of heart saw him sweep up an additional 12 Grand Slam titles. Back in 2018, with half of his major titles under his belt, the sceptre of disillusionment loomed over the Serb, following recurrent injuries and the end of his coaching partnership with Andre Agassi. The shock fourth-round exit to Hyeon Chung at the Australian Open was succeeded by elbow surgery for Djokovic, disrupting a career plagued by injury since the previous year. His return to the courts wasn't without setbacks; a loss to Taro Daniel at Indian Wells struck another blow. A subsequent defeat by Benoit Paire at the Miami Masters was Djokovic's tipping point, prompting a heart-to-heart with his team and wife, Jelena Djokovic, where he expressed his resolve to retire. In a candid interview with Slaven Bilic titled 'Failure of the Champion', Djokovic recounted how a transformative break in the Dominican Republic helped him overturn his retirement decision. In a 2020 conversation with journalist Graham Bensinger, Jelena relayed the gripping tale: "After that match, he wanted to quit. He gathered all the members of his team and told them, 'You know what: I'm done, I'm quitting.' We cried and told him that he couldn't do it, that it wasn't the right time. He didn't want to play tennis, and he didn't even want to see a ball pass in front of him." Djokovic was so devastated that his wife recalls a time following a significant loss when he instructed his then-agent Edoardo Artaldi to inform his sponsors, including Lacoste, about potentially ending his career. "It was a terrible loss," she said, reports the Express. Article continues below "And then he just, you know, gathered all of us and said, 'You know guys, I'm done.' And I was like, 'What?' And he goes like, 'Yeah.' He said, 'Edoardo, you can speak with my sponsors. "'I want to be clear with them. I don't know if I'm stopping for six months, a year, or forever. Just tell them if they feel like sticking around they can. If they don't, I'm happy. I just want to make sure everybody is OK with this.'". Yet, it was Djokovic's family, especially his wife and their children, Stefan and Tara, who became his motivation to reconsider retirement. Jelena mentioned how despite his initial reluctance, being around the sport casually through his family reignited his passion for tennis. "He didn't want to know anything about it," she explained. "But I love tennis and I take the kids to the court every day. On the third day, Novak arrived. "He saw we were having fun and that it wasn't a workout like what he had been used to for years. When Novak asked me if he could play and get a racket, I initially refused. "I started teasing him and told him that he had given up. That now it was our turn to play tennis. But eventually, he served, felt good, and then he returned each day until deciding to call his coach Marian Vajda to renew training." After a career-defining U-turn that led to an additional 12 Grand Slam titles and a record-breaking total of 24, the tennis legend's pursuit of a 25th triumph at the French Open came to a halt in the semi-finals, with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner besting him in straight sets. Post-match, the 38 year old sportsman sparked speculation about his future at Roland Garros with a poignant show of appreciation towards the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier and a meaningful touch of the clay. Reflecting on the moment during his press conference, he confessed: "This could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don't know." Article continues below He continued, expressing his emotions: "That's why I was a bit more emotional even in the end. But if this was the farewell match of the Roland Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful one in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd."

Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong in 2026 for ‘The Mayhem Ball' Tour
Yeah, we had Coldplay take over the entire territories, the comeback of Nicholas Tse, and Mandopop king Jay Chou coming later this month, but let's be real – we're also still smarting over the fact that Singapore got both Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga but not us! However, the tide might be turning, as there are now rumours swirling that Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong next year. Back in March, Mother Monster announced her upcoming eighth concert tour 'The Mayhem Ball' which is set to commence on July 16. The plan was for the concert to travel across North American, European, and Australian cities, but on June 10, Lady Gaga also announced five dates for Japan, running from January 21 to 29 in Osaka and Tokyo. The plot twist here is that the Lady Gaga news fan account @MayhemBallTour on X had previously already proclaimed on April 9 that the artist will have Tokyo dates. When asked for hints on the whole Asia leg of the tour, they posted emoji flags of Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong – so we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll actually get Gaga in Kai Tak Stadium or AsiaWorld-Expo come 2026! Interestingly, Hong Kong singer Joey Yung went to Lady Gaga's recent 'The Art of Personal Chaos' concert in Singapore recently and posted on Instagram in Chinese that she 'hopes she'll be able to enjoy it again in Kai Tak'. These industry insiders know something we don't… If the online rumours are anything to go by, Lady Gaga might be putting on three Hong Kong shows in February 2026. Stay tuned for more information as we learn them!
