Ewan McGregor Admits He Used to Show His Kids the Toilet Scene From ‘Trainspotting’: ‘Just for a Laugh’
Marta Balaga Forget “Star Wars” – Ewan McGregor preferred to show his kids another one of his films. “I wasn’t there when [my daughter] Clara watched ‘Trainspotting’ for the first time. But I did used to show my kids ‘the toilet scene.’ Just for a laugh. It’s a unique situation, perhaps, for a father to be able to show his children footage of him going down the toilet,” he said at Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The trauma didn’t stop there. “I have a memory of showing Clara ‘Moulin Rouge!,’ however. I think she was 9 years old. I put it on, and then I hear this wailing and crying. I rushed in, asking if I should switch it off and she went: ‘Noooo’!”
