In the presence of his family, “Star Wars” actor Ewan McGregor was allowed to unveil his star on the “Walk of Fame” in Hollywood.
Scottish actor Ewan McGregor (53) has once again proven that his children are the most important thing to him during an extraordinary family outing in Hollywood: On Thursday (September 12th), the “Star Wars” star was able to celebrate an important milestone in his career. McGregor was honored with a star on the “Walk of Fame” in Hollywood. The Jedi Knight took not only his wife, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead (39), with him to the unveiling, but also four of his five children.
McGregor thanks his children
In his acceptance speech, McGregor also emphasized how much his children mean to him. It is a privilege for him to be Clara’s father, with whom McGregor recently appeared in front of the camera for the film drama “Bleeding Love.” Seeing “her passion and enthusiasm for what we do” has “re-inspired” the 53-year-old. His daughter Esther (22) is also currently in front of the camera for filming in Canada, which is why she was unable to attend the unveiling of her father’s star, said McGregor.
His youngest daughter Anouk (13) is still too young for a career as an actress, the “Star Wars” actor continued in his acceptance speech. And his daughter Jamyan (22) will probably not follow in her famous father’s footsteps either. She is more interested in a career as a criminal investigator. He asked his youngest child, son Laurie (3), whether he would like to say “hello”.
His children are his “everything”
Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead have been married since April 2022. Their son Laurie was born in June 2021. McGregor’s other four children come from a previous relationship with Frenchwoman Eve Mavrakis (58), with whom the actor was married from 1995 to 2017. Together, the couple adopted daughters Jamyan and Anouk.
In an interview in April 2021, McGregor stated that his children are his “everything.” Therefore, after separating from his first wife, the actor withdrew from work for almost ten months to be there for his children.
