Now marriage-split star Ewan has a spot of bother with an older model!
FIRST his marriage ground to a halt, then Ewan McGregor faced a similar situation with his car.
The actor, who recently walked out on his wife of 22 years for a younger co-star, found himself facing upheaval of a different kind when his classic car gave out on him during rush hour in Los Angeles.
The Perthshire-born actor was forced to push the blue 1954 Volkswagen Beetle into a side street to carry out repairs away from the bustle of the city’s traffic.
The father of four was seen lifting the bonnet of the vintage car before tinkering with its engine.
After making a phone call, he managed to get the vehicle running again and was able to drive it to a nearby garage.
The 46-year-old filed for divorce from his wife, Eve Mavrakis, 51, earlier this month. His marriage problems came to light late last year when he was seen kissing his Fargo co-star and now girlfriend Mary Elizabeth Winstead, 33.
McGregor’s car breakdown is the first time he has been seen in public since his intention to divorce was announced.
The Trainspotting star, who described himself as a ‘VW nut’ when he sold his 1960 Ragtop Patina Monster on eBay two years ago, surprised fans at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month when he thanked both his wife and girlfriend in an acceptance speech for his Fargo win.
