Ewan McGregor showed off his new clean-shaven look today at the launch of a charity campaign for Pringle.
The actor is the face of the luxury knitwear brand and modelled a scarf which is being sold to raise money for a children’s hospice appeal.
All profits from the scarves will go to the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) of which McGregor is patron.
The star, who plays Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars films, had been sporting a huge beard grown during his 20,000 mile round-the-world motorbike trip.
But he shaved it off this week – to the delight of his wife Eve and two children Clara, eight, and two-year-old Esther.
“I grew the beard to film some scenes for the new Star Wars film and as soon as I shot the last one I went straight home and shaved it off,” he said.
“It was a relief to get rid of it. And my daughters were delighted – they both hated it, as did my wife.”
