Ewan McGregor's daughter recently shared a relatable and cringe-worthy anecdote that many people can sympathize with - having to watch their own parent in a nude scene on film. Ewan, known for his iconic roles in films like Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge!, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy, is now starring in a new movie called Bleeding Love alongside his real-life daughter, 28-year-old Clara McGregor, whom he shares with his ex-wife Eve Mavrakis.
The father and daughter duo recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to talk about their experience working together on the film. During the interview, Clara was asked if she had seen many of her dad's movies, to which she replied, "I saw a lot of them. There was one that was quite memorable, watching this one was quite memorable in particular, because when I was a senior in high school I took a gender studies class."
At this point, Ewan couldn't help but cringe and place his head in his hands, clearly embarrassed by the direction the conversation was taking. Clara went on to explain that her teacher had approached her towards the end of the semester and mentioned that there was a film that they usually show as part of the curriculum, but it featured nudity from her dad. Despite the initial discomfort, Clara said she didn't think much of it and watched the film, The Pillow Book, with her entire high school class.
As the audience laughed, Jimmy Kimmel asked Ewan if he was nude for most of the movie, to which he replied, "A lot." Clara chimed in, "Full-frontally nude, the whole time!" Ewan then revealed that Clara's teacher had also emailed him to ask for his permission to show the film to her and her classmates. "I wouldn't want to be the reason you don't show that movie to your kids, because it's a beautiful movie," Ewan said, recalling his response. "But I said, 'You have to guarantee that the kids are mature enough not to make fun of Clara or make her feel bad.'"
Clara confirmed that her class was mature enough, but also admitted that it was an uncomfortable experience for everyone involved. Jimmy then made a crude joke, which Ewan playfully scolded him for. Aside from Clara, Ewan's family is also involved in the entertainment industry, with his uncle Denis Lawson starring in the original Star Wars trilogy as Wedge Antilles. Ewan himself is now married to Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who appeared in the Star Wars series Ahsoka.
In other news, Ewan's tea-making skills recently sparked controversy, and the Disney boss had a one-word response to the fired Star Wars actress's lawsuit.
