Ewan McGregor Kisses Mary Elizabeth Winstead After Scottish BAFTA Win

Ewan McGregor shared his Scottish BAFTA with Mary Elizabeth Winstead on Sunday, paying tribute to his wife during the glitzy Glasgow ceremony.

The actor, 54, was awarded the outstanding contribution award from Bafta Scotland and arrived at the ceremony, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton, with his wife of three years.

Ewan, who looked dapper in a kilt and sporran, enjoyed a passionate kiss with Mary Elizabeth, 40, before heading up to the podium where he paid tribute to the actress and his three-time co-star, jokingly calling for more films they could be in together.

‘I love to work with you so much. I’ve been lucky enough to do it three times, and I want to do it more and more,’ Ewan told his wife from the stage.

‘Mary and I are now here in Scotland, so to save us the pain of having to be apart, maybe you could come up with lots of Scottish films that we can be in together.’

The couple first met on the set of the FX series Fargo in 2016, when they both joined the cast for season three, playing each other’s love interests.

At the time of the shoot, the actor was still married to Eve Mavrakis, with whom he shares four daughters, and Mary Elizabeth was married to Riley Stearns.

But eventually, both of their marriages ended and the co-stars began dating soon afterwards.

They worked with each other again on the 2020 superhero film Birds Of Prey and the 2024 historical drama series A Gentleman in Moscow.

The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Laurie in June 2021, after nearly four years of dating and tied the knot during a private backyard ceremony in LA in April 2022.

As well as his wife, Ewan also paid tribute to his uncle during Sunday night’s BAFTA ceremony. 

Actor Denis Lawson presented Ewan with the gong, describing his nephew as an ‘extraordinarily versatile actor’.

Ewan made his breakthrough in the 1990s in films such as Brassed Off, Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, and has gone on to star in the likes of Star Wars and Moulin Rouge! 

Receiving the award on Sunday, he described his uncle, who also appeared in Star Wars as Wedge Antilles, as ‘my biggest inspiration’ and credited him for teaching him what acting really was.
