Hollywood star Ewan McGregor turned heads as he filmed in Bolton town centre. The Star Wars icon, who shot to fame in 1996 as Mark Renton in the gritty comedy drama Trainspotting, is starring as Count Rostov in the Paramount and Showtime TV series A Gentleman in Moscow.
The 51-year-old actor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and poet Christian in the musical film Moulin Rouge!, was seen walking through fake snow as Bolton was transformed for wintery scenes.
Bolton Town Hall doubled as The Kremlin as the town became 1920s Russia. The series will be released on Paramount+ internationally and Showtime in the US.
