Ewan McGregor and his wife Eve adopt their 4th child!

Ewan McGregor has just announced in an email that he and his wife have adopted their fourth child, a four-month old girl.  The girl – who has not been named – is now Ewan’s FOURTH daughter!

Ewan McGregor has let slip that he and wife Eve Mavrakis have adopted a baby girl. The 40-year-old actor revealed the news while promoting his movie Beginners in Los Angeles earlier this month. The little girl, who will be the fourth child for Ewan and Eve, was born in March and is just four months old.

However, Ewan has not revealed any other details about the baby, such as her name and nationality. The baby is the second adopted child for Ewan and his wife, who adopted daughter Jamiyan from Mongolia five years ago. The couple are also parents to daughters Clara, 15, and nine-year-old Esther.

Ewan made the revelation when he spoke to the New York Post about his new movie. Discussing how his family always comes first, Ewan said: ‘My wife and four girls – 15, two nine-year-olds and a baby of four months – often come with me if it’s a holiday or my locations and their schedules allow. Sometimes we uproot them and put them in another school.’

Ewan is notoriously private about his family life, but said in a recent interview that he will always try and spend as much time as possible with his children.

He said: ‘I recognize it can be boring to play with young children – to tell a story over and over again, let’s say – but the secret is being there. If you’ve made a decision to play with your children, then play with them. Don’t be looking through papers on your desk or sneaking off to the computer. Turn off your BlackBerry. Lose yourself in their world. Even if you do it for a short time, it will mean a lot to you and to them.’

Ewan McGregor cheating on his wife of 15 years?

65472EX_MCGREGOR_B-GR_01

He’s never been short of female fans, but Ewan McGregor appears to have found a close friend in his latest co-star.

McGregor, who has been married for 15 years, and French actress Mélanie Laurent turned heads as they strolled through a freezing Paris arm in arm last night.

The pair recently finished shooting upcoming movie Beginners together, and it appears their friendship is still going strong.

They had enjoyed a night out dining with friends at the French capital’s luxury Hyatt hotel, before leaving to brave the cold winter night together.

McGregor married production designer Eve Mavrakis, who is also French, in 1995. The couple live in north London with their three daughters.

Laurent, 26, is best known for her critically acclaimed performance in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, released last year.

Beginners finished shooting in December and is currently in post-production.

In the new film, McGregor plays a man rocked by two shock announcements from his elderly father, played by Christopher Plummer, who reveals that he has terminal cancer and is gay.

McGregor rose to international fame in 1996 playing the role of Renton in the cult British film Trainspotting.

Ewan McGregor hates Trainspotting Sequel

trainspotting.jpg

Ewan McGregor is refusing to star in a sequel to the movie that made him famous, because he hates the book it’s based on.

Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle is reteaming with author Irvine Welsh to take Porno to the big screen – 13 years after Trainspotting made them all household names.

But McGregor, who played the lead character Renton in Trainspotting, is snubbing the follow-up, claiming Welsh’s second book isn’t good enough.

He tells Moviefone, “I didn’t think the book was very good. The novel of Trainspotting was quite fantastic, it was beautiful, quite moving and disturbing writing, and then I find that the sequel… the book that Irvine Welsh wrote didn’t move me as much… He’d written a good sequel to the film as opposed to a sequel to his book.

“Also, I think just the idea of getting the cast together again 10 to 15 years later isn’t good enough, you need more than that. I wouldn’t want to damage Trainspotting’s reputation, because it was an amazing film and a very important film of its time, a very important film for me and… a very important film for British cinema. I wouldn’t want to leave people remembering a poor sequel rather than leaving its reputation where it sits at the moment, which is kind of a phenomenal film.”

Ewan McGregor wants to be a pilot

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor is set to add pilot to his impressive resume – he wants to join the group of stars who reach for the sky.

After tackling two televised motorcycle marathons – from London to New York and Scotland to the tip of Africa – the Star Wars actor now has his sights set on the heavens.

The daredevil star says, “I want to learn how to fly, and I would especially love to fly old-fashioned planes. I love the airplanes they call tail-draggers. They’re old bush planes, and there’s a company, called Aviat, that still makes them. I like the look of the Aviat Husky. That’s the one I want to fly.”

First Official Still From “Phillip Morris”

iloveyou-still01.jpg

The first official production photo from the new Jim Carrey comedy I Love You Phillip Morris has been revealed on JimCarreyOnline. Adapted from Steve McVicker’s 2003 novel, and based on a true story. Carrey plays Russell, a criminal who falls in love with his cell mate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). After Morris’ release from prison, Russell attempts a variety of bizarre prison escapes in hopes of reuniting with the love of his life. The movie was apparently pitched as “Catch Me if You Can meets Brokeback Mountain“. The screenplay was witten by the team who did Bad Santa. You can read the actual book description below.

Steven Russell possessed unusual talents-he was a jailhouse Houdini with a specialty in fraud. Staging his escapes on a series of Friday the thirteenths, he managed to outwit the Texas criminal justice experts in four ingenious jailbreaks. The first time, he simply waved a walkie-talkie convincingly and was buzzed out by an affable guard. Another time he used a green pen and a bucket of water to concoct surgical scrubs and sauntered out. His ensuing escapes grew more audacious, as did his plans to reunite with his co-convict lover. Award-winning journalist Steve McVicker captures with a pitch-perfect blend of humor and disbelief the real-life story of Steven Russell, a con man so shrewd, relentless, and incorrigible that he’d be walking free today, if it weren’t for his fatal aw-he’s in love with a man named Phillip Morris. Written with exclusive cooperation and disclosure from Russell, who’s serving 45 years plus 99 years in a maximum-security jail (at least, for now), I Love You Phillip Morris tells an oddball American tall tale of what can happen when mocking the law, a daredevil spirit, and undying love collide.

Ewan McGregor stunned by his wife’s biking ambitions

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor was floored when his wife insisted on joining him for his most recent televised motorbike trek – because she’d never shown any interest in cycles.

The Scottish star was putting the finishing touches to his Long Way Down adventure with pal Charley Boorman when his French wife Eve Mavrakis asked to come along for the ride – on the evening before they set off.

McGregor recalls, “She wanted to ride her own bike and I’ve been married to her for almost 13-years and she’s barely been on the back of my motorcycle… so she learned. She flew into Johannesburg and drove up with these guys and the bike on the back of a pick-up truck to the border of Malawi and we met her there… and she rode down the whole length of Malawi with us and across Zambia with us, which was brilliant. It was really nice.”
