Christian

Christian (played by Ewan McGregor) is the main male protagonist of Moulin Rouge! He is a "penniless writer" from London, England, but moved to Paris in 1899 and fell in love with Satine.

Appearance
Christian has dark hair and bright blue-green eyes (a similar color to Satine's). He is about 5'10", yet is still slightly shorter than many of the movie's men. He sometimes wears a tuxedo with a white bow tie when he is fully clothed, and other times he is seen wearing a long-sleeved light blue shirt with a black vest, black pants, and a gray scarf. A year after the movie takes place, he has grown a thick beard and is shown wearing a white or gray tank top.

Personality
Christian is very seemingly innocent before coming to the Moulin Rouge, and not used to its vulgar environment. However, once he starts spending time with Satine, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, The Narcoleptic Argentinean, The Doctor, and Satie, he begins to adapt to the culture and lifestyle (understanding sexual references, etc.) associated with it. He is also shown to be very persistent in attempting to win her love, even to the point of singing to her after and while she repeatedly refuses. He is portrayed as being happy and optimistic, such as when he tries to get Satine to notice him, and eventually does. He is shown to be a musical genius, performing numbers from long after 1899.

Musical Numbers
Christian sings in five songs of Moulin Rouge!: He also performs a line from "Your Song" in the film version of "One Day I'll Fly Away" and again in the final film version of "Children of the Revolution". In addition to this, he loudly and excitedly sings the line "'Cause it's good for your mind!" during the movie's Can Can scene; however, none of these were on either soundtrack.
