Early life


McGregor was born on 31 March 1971 in Perth, Scotland, and was raised in nearby Crieff.[9][10][11][12] His mother, Carol Diane (née Lawson), is a retired teacher at Crieff High School and latterly deputy head teacher at Kingspark School in Dundee.[13][14] His father, James Charles Stewart "Jim" McGregor, is a retired physical education teacher and careers master at the independent Morrison's Academy in Crieff.[15][16][17] He has an older brother, Colin (born 1969), a former Tornado GR4 pilot in the Royal Air Force.[18] His uncle is actor Denis Lawson[3][19] and his aunt by marriage was actress Sheila Gish, which makes him a step-cousin of Gish's actress daughters, Kay Curram and Lou Gish.[20]

McGregor attended Morrison's Academy. After leaving school at the age of 16, he worked as a stagehand at Perth Theatre and studied a foundation course in drama at Kirkcaldy College of Technology,[21][22] before moving to London to study drama at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama when he was 18 years old.[3]

Main articles: Long Way Round, Long Way Down, and Long Way Up

A motorcyclist since his youth, McGregor undertook a marathon international motorbike trip with his best friend Charley Boorman and cameraman Claudio von Planta in 2004. From mid-April to the end of July, they travelled from London to New York via central Europe, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Canada and the United States on BMW R1150GS Adventure motorbikes, for a cumulative distance of 22,345 miles (35,960 km).[59] The trip included visits to several UNICEF programs along the route, and formed the basis of a television series and a best-selling book, both called Long Way Round.[60]

The Long Way Round team reunited in 2007 for another motorcycle trip from John o' Groats in Scotland to Cape Town in South Africa.[60] The journey, entitled Long Way Down, lasted from 12 May until 5 August 2007.[60] McGregor's brother Colin joined the motorcycle team during the early stages of the Long Way Down journey,[60] and his father Jim also rode on sections of both Long Way Round and Long Way Down.[61][62]

McGregor appeared in a two-part BBC documentary in April 2012 entitled Ewan McGregor: Cold Chain Mission in which he travels by motorbike, boat, plane and foot to deliver vaccines to children in remote parts of India, Nepal and the Republic of Congo. The trip was part of his work as a UNICEF Ambassador.

In a June 2015 interview, McGregor indicated that a long discussed South American trip with Boorman was still in the planning stages, but he expected that an excursion through the Baja California Peninsula would take place first.[63]

On 14 December 2019, McGregor and Boorman finished a three-month journey on electric Harley-Davidson LiveWire motorcycles from Patagonia, Argentina, to California, United States, for a docuseries.[64] The 11-episode series, Long Way Up, debuted on Apple TV+ on 18 September 2020.[65][66]


Personal life


McGregor married Eve Mavrakis, a French-Greek Jewish production designer whom he met on the set of Kavanagh QC, in 1995.[67][68][69][70][3] Together they have four daughters, two of them adopted, one a street child from Mongolia he met while travelling in Long Way Round.[9][71][72][73] With his children raised in Mavrakis's Jewish faith, McGregor said in 2016, "My involvement in religion has more to do with the Jewish faith now and not the Christian faith, which I was very vaguely brought up in."[74] McGregor has a heart and dagger tattoo of the names of Mavrakis and their daughters on his right arm.[28][75] On 19 January 2018, having been separated since May 2017, McGregor filed for divorce from Mavrakis, citing irreconcilable differences;[76][77] the divorce was finalised on 13 August 2020.[78]

In May 2017, McGregor began a relationship with American actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, whom he met on the set of Fargo.[79] Their son, Laurie, was born in June 2021.[80][81] McGregor and Winstead married in April 2022.[82]

McGregor divides his time between Los Angeles, California,[83] and St John's Wood, London.[84]

McGregor is involved in charity work, including UNICEF UK since 2004 and GO Campaign. During the Long Way Round journey in 2004, McGregor and his travelling companions saw some of UNICEF's work in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia,[60] and during the Long Way Down trip in 2007, he and Charley Boorman did some work for UNICEF in Africa. McGregor hosted the annual Hollywood gala for the GO Campaign in 2009 and 2010. He has worked with the Children's Hospice Association Scotland, as featured in Long Way Down. In 2012, he travelled with UNICEF immunization workers to remote parts of India, Nepal and the Republic of Congo for a BBC2 documentary entitled Ewan McGregor: Cold Chain Mission.[85] In June 2015, McGregor read Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" for the children's fairy tales app GivingTales in aid of UNICEF, together with other prominent figures such as Sir Roger Moore, Stephen Fry, Dame Joan Collins, Joanna Lumley, and Sir Michael Caine.[86]

In 2007, on an episode of Parkinson, McGregor said he had been a teetotaller for the last seven years. He also mentioned this in an interview with the Irish Independent in 2008, stating that he would often turn up to sets drunk or hungover in the late 1990s, and that he decided to stop altogether to avoid spiralling down further.[87]

In 2008 McGregor had a cancerous mole removed from below his right eye.[88]

In September 2020, after travelling through Chile for the documentary Long Way Up, he revealed that his great-grandfather, John “Juan” Charles McIndoe, was born in Chile to Scottish parents while his father worked with the American engineers in the construction of the railways at the end of the 19th century. Later, John went to Glasgow and worked as a wine importer and diplomat.[89][90]


Politics


McGregor was an outspoken critic of Brexit. Although opposed to Scottish independence from the United Kingdom in the 2014 Scottish referendum, he later declared during an interview that he would have voted for Scotland to leave the United Kingdom if he had been able to cast his vote the day after the United Kingdom left the European Union.[91] In 2020 he voiced his support for Scottish independence, saying that "it's time".[92][93][94]

McGregor became a naturalised US citizen after 2016 so he would be able to vote in the 2020 US presidential election.[95] During his journey on Long Way Up, he travelled entirely on his US passport.[96]
