SMOOCHY, AS SEEN ON TV
‘Fargo’ stars get cozy
“Fargo” co-stars Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead reportedly carried their TV romance over into real life when they were spotted getting up close and personal at a fashionable London restaurant.
The 46-year-old dad of four and Winstead, 32 — who plays McGregor’s lover on the FX series — shared a passionate kiss at the Good Life Eatery in the St. John’s Wood district of northwest London, according to a photo published in the UK on Sunday by The Sun.
“They were deep in conversation and were there together for more than an hour,” a customer told the newspaper.
“As they left, she got on to the back of Ewan’s motorbike and they sped off together.”
If McGregor and Winstead were trying to be discreet, they picked the wrong place.
“There’s always lots of celebrities around in that area,” the customer said. “The cafe was really busy with people, including delivery drivers coming in and out the whole time.”
A McGregor family source told People magazine on Sunday that the actor and his production-designer wife of 22 years, Eve Mavrakis, 51, called it quits in May but kept their separation private.
In recent months, McGregor and Mavrakis have posted pictures of themselves without their wedding rings on social media.
Winstead married director Riley Stearns in 2010. They announced their separation in May.
McGregor and Winstead play lovers Ray Stussy and Nikki Swango on the crime drama.
Mavrakis and McGregor — also well known for roles in “Trainspotting” and three “Star Wars” movies — have four daughters together, Clara, 21, Jamyan, 16, Esther, 15 and Anouk, 6.
In February, Winstead shared an Instagram photo of herself and McGregor.
“Pretty lovely Canadian Sunday. Good night!” she wrote.
In “Fargo,” Winstead plays a recently released prisoner and McGregor a probation officer.
“This is a very interesting person with a complicated moral compass,” Winstead told the Los Angeles Times in May.
She told Time, also in May, that her on-screen relationship with McGregor is a lasting one.
“Once I knew that their love was real, then I was able to really move forward with this sort of sweet, bubbly, optimistic version of a femme fatale,” she said.
