The same year he co-starred as Frank Churchill, McGregor starred in Trainspotting, which would help make him one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. He went on to star in Moulin Rouge!, Black Hawk Down and Big Fish, and he also fronted the Star Wars prequel trilogy. In 2018, he won a Golden Globe for his performance in the third season of FX’s Fargo.
After his recent Emmy-nominated turn as American fashion designer Halston in an eponymously titled Netflix series, McGregor is set to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Disney+ TV series.
McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who co-starred in Birds of Prey and Fargo, welcomed their son Laurie in June 2021. The 50-year-old actor is also the father of Clara, 27, Jamyan, 20, Esther, 19, and Anouk, 10, with ex-wife Eve Mavrakis.
