Jonny Lee Miller offered to shave his head to look older, but Danny Boyle insisted that Sick Boy retain his iconic blond hair.
Danny Boyle has credited David Bowie with helping to be able to use various hit songs in the original movie inexpensively because he had ties with Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, and helped Boyle out because he was a fan of Shallow Grave (1994). For his own little personal tribute to him following his death, Boyle decided to shoot a moment where Renton goes through his record collection and finds a couple of Bowie's albums. (In the novels, Renton is a fan of Bowie).
Robert Carlyle kept away from his family in Glasgow while filming because he became so much like Begbie.
While announcing the sequel in an interview, director Danny Boyle joked that he wanted to call it "T2", if James Cameron would allow it (whose film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) is commonly abbreviated as T2). The cast later explained that the title was the one they thought the characters in the movie would have chosen, just so they could annoy Cameron. Since Terminator 2 isn't legally known as T2, Boyle could use the title without permission; however, he settled for T2: Trainspotting, because the internet search term "T2" still lead mostly to sites affiliated with Terminator 2.
In Trainspotting (1996), Jonny Lee Miller's Scottish accent was his own. He tested his accuracy in a Glasgow bar stating something along the lines of 'if I could wing it there I was ok'. For this film, however he had a dialect coach, something that Ewan McGregor jokingly put down to Miller not being drunk this time round.
"Veronika: What's 'Choose life'? Renton: What? Veronika: 'Choose life'. Simon says it sometimes. He says "Choose life, Veronika!" Renton: 'Choose life'. 'Choose life' was a well meaning slogan from a 1980's anti-drug campaign and we used to add things to it, so I might say for example, choose... designer lingerie, in the vain hope of kicking some life back into a dead relationship. Choose handbags, choose high-heeled shoes, cashmere and silk, to make yourself feel what passes for happy. Choose an iPhone made in China by a woman who jumped out of a window and stick it in the pocket of your jacket fresh from a South-Asian Firetrap. Choose Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and a thousand others ways to spew your bile across people you've never met. Choose updating your profile, tell the world what you had for breakfast and hope that someone, somewhere cares. Choose looking up old flames, desperate to believe that you don't look as bad as they do. Choose live-blogging, from your first wank 'til your last breath; human interaction reduced to nothing more than data. Choose ten things you never knew about celebrities who've had surgery. Choose screaming about abortion. Choose rape jokes, slut-shaming, revenge porn and an endless tide of depressing misogyny. Choose 9/11 never happened, and if it did, it was the Jews. Choose a zero-hour contract and a two-hour journey to work. And choose the same for your kids, only worse, and maybe tell yourself that it's better that they never happened. And then sit back and smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody's fucking kitchen. Choose unfulfilled promise and wishing you'd done it all differently. Choose never learning from your own mistakes. Choose watching history repeat itself. Choose the slow reconciliation towards what you can get, rather than what you always hoped for. Settle for less and keep a brave face on it. Choose disappointment and choose losing the ones you love, then as they fall from view, a piece of you dies with them until you can see that one day in the future, piece by piece, they will all be gone and there'll be nothing left of you to call alive or dead. Choose your future, Veronika. Choose life."
"Spud: First, there's an opportunity. Then... there's a betrayal."
