Ewan McGregor nude days are over

Ewan McGregor has decided not to strip off in future movies, as he is getting too old.

The actor has got naked in numerous films in the past, the most notable being Trainspotting and Young Adam. And up until now, he has had every reason to keep doing it because he has found ways to cheat the ageing process.

He said in an interview with Britain's Radio 1:

"I shave my chest because having it hairy makes me look older. It's sexy when it's smooth. But when I shave it, I sometimes get a rash, which is a nightmare. And my wife gets it too. Having a shaved chest is cool for a day, until it starts growing back."

The 35-year-old star is married to French production designer Eve Mavrakis.
In keeping with his hair-free look, Ewan refused to grow a moustache for his role as book editor Norman Warne in 'Miss Potter'.

"I had to wear a fake moustache and it makes you speak really strange. If you're not careful, it will fall off. We shot this scene in the film where I had to laugh and it ended up looking really awkward, but they left the scene in."

However, McGregor's days of movie nudity are now numbered, for the sake of the audience: "I might protect people from the sight of my old flesh in future films," he added.
