He married in 1995 and gave birth to two girls, Clara Mathilde McGregor and Esther Pink McGregor. The couple also has just adopted a little girl.
It is known universally for its interpretation of the role of the young person Obi-Wan Kenobi in the introductory trilogy of the saga the Star Wars . But its first outstanding role was that of the héroïnomane “Renton” in the filmed version of the novel of Irvine Welsh Trainspotting (1996). This role created sensation, under the direction of Danny Boyle, which had already engaged it for another film noticed Petits murder between friends (1994).
McGregor also interpreted romantic roles of males in films such as the British Little Voice (1998), or with Hollywood, Moulin-Rouge! (2001) and Bye bye coil (2003). It received an excellent reception of criticism for its performance in very typical British film Young Adam (2003).
Ewan, a Motorcyclist impassioned since his youth, undertook in 2004 a voyage marathon in motor bike with his/her friend Charley Boorman (the son of the famous British realizer John Boorman installed in Ireland). Mid-April at the end of July, they travelled of London to New York, via the central Europe, the Ukraine, the Russia, the Kazakhstan, the Mongolia, the Siberia and the Canada, at a distance of more than 30 395 km (18 887 semi). The only sections of the voyage made without the motor bike were 580 semi in Siberia by the train (for lack of road), and the crossing by plane of the Bering Strait of Magadan (Siberia) to Anchorage (Alaska). The tour was at the base of the televised series Long Way Round , and of a book best-seller of the same name.

Ewan McGregor is one of the rare actors to have interpreted in a way repeated of the scenes of complete frontal nudity (in Trainspotting , The Pillow Book , Velvet Goldmine and Young Adam ). In these films, as in The Pillow Book , Ewan finds itself naked vis-a-vis the camera, its penis often approximately plane. For these reasons, several anglophone critics formerly refused to comment on the films in which it turned, under pretext which its films were ashamed.
