Ewan McGregor and his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead made a rare TV appearance together on Thursday ahead of their upcoming series A Gentleman In Moscow.
Speaking to Ross King on ITV’s Lorraine, the couple, who met on the set of comedy crime drama Fargo in 2017, looked as in love as ever.
Ewan, 52, lovingly placed a hand on Mary’s knee as they held hands while discussing their new Paramount drama.

A Gentleman In Moscow tells the story of a Russian aristocrat who is spared death and placed under house arrest as the Bolshevik Revolution plays out before him.

About the collaboration, Ewan said, “We didn’t know each other that well at Fargo, but we got along really well as actors.”
The actor recently revealed that he is scaling back his acting career to spend more time at home with his new wife and son.
Ewan said he is ‘very much in love’ with Mary and their two-year-old son Laurie and doesn’t want to be away from them for long periods of time.
He married Mary in April 2022 in a low-key ceremony near their Los Angeles home. The couple have been together since 2017 after meeting on the set of TV comedy crime drama Fargo.
McGregor also has four daughters with ex-wife Eve Mavrakis. They separated in 2017 after 22 years of marriage and their divorce was finalized in August 2020.
Ewan has returned to Scotland after spending more than £2 million on a country house near his hometown.
The actor has bought an 18th century country retreat in Perthshire, set in more than 40 acres of land and gardens. The property is located in the Carse of Gowrie and just a 35-minute drive from Crieff, where McGregor grew up.
The Star Wars and Trainspotting star has been spotted in the area regularly in recent weeks and it is understood he will now be splitting his time between Scotland and LA.

Property records show Ewan bought the 10-bedroom, Category C-listed property for £2.35 million last May. It had been on the market for offers in excess of £2.15 million.
The actor also spoke about how much he misses Scotland during an interview at the Comic Con exhibition in Edinburgh last year.
He said: ‘The thing I miss most about Scotland is of course my family. My father and mother and my brother (Colin) and his wife Sarah and my cousin and my niece…
‘I miss the landscape. I miss the air in Scotland. I miss the smell of the rain, the smell of the greenery and the colors of Scotland. And the people and the culture. I can just keep going.’
McGregor left Scotland in his late teens to move to London to pursue his acting ambitions. He later moved to the US after his Hollywood career took off.
