Ewan McGregor shows off thick moustache and thick curly hair

Ewan McGregor looked worlds apart from his usual clean cut self when he was pictured walking on set of A Gentleman In Moscow in Halifax on Wednesday. 

The acclaimed actor, 52, was sporting a thick, neat moustache and thick curly mane as she arrived with a hot beverage in hand. 

TV series, A Gentleman In Moscow, tells the story of a Russian aristocrat who is spared from death and placed on house arrest while the Bolshevik Revolution plays out before him. 

Ewan will play Alexander Rostov in the programme alongside his real-life wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who will take on the part of Anna Urbanova.

The Moulin Rouge! actor has a 23-month-old son, Laurie, with second wife Mary, who he tied the knot with in April 2022.

The couple had not revealed they were expecting and their surprise baby news was first shared by Ewan’s daughter Clara in June 2021.

She wrote: ‘Welcome to the world little brother congratulations to my Dad & Mary – this is the greatest gift.’ 

His daughter Esther also shared pictures cradling the newborn as she gushed: ‘Met my little brother looking like a pirate. I recommend! Welcome to the family little Laurie.’

Ewan was previously married to actress Eve, who met one another on the set of the TV crime drama Kavanagh QC. 

Sadly, they split in 2017 after 22 years of marriage and their divorce was finalised in August 2020, blaming ‘irreconcilable differences.’ 

They are parents to daughters Clara, 27, and Esther, 21 and Anouk, 12, Ewan adopted daughter Jamyan, 21, with production designer Eve in 2006

Ewan and his eldest daughter Clara have had a rocky relationship, since she famously branded his second wife Mary a ‘piece of trash’ called him an ‘a***hole’.

But the father and daughter have repaired their relationship over the past five years and recently completed work on their first joint project.

You Sing Loud, I Sing Louder, is a film conceived by Clara, with Ewan explaining of his daughter’s pitch to him: ‘She tells me that she’d come up with an idea about writing about us. 

‘At first I was a bit nervous. I didn’t know what that meant.’ 

The film focuses on a father-daughter road trip, with Ewan’s character driving his daughter, played by Clara, to rehab. 

While the drive is fictional, the premise of a father trying to help his daughter is based on Clara’s own experience. 

‘I sat down to read it and I was blown away. It was a beautiful story about us. There’s things that aren’t accurate, or are bent, but they still reflect our estrangement for a while,’ he explained.

‘The drive is fictional. But for a couple of years, we sort of lost her. So the storyline is about her realising that she needs the help her father’s trying to give. 

‘Along the way, their relationship is healed somewhat.’
