McGregor OK After Cancer Scare
Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor has recovered after surgery to remove a cancerous mole after he went for a check up.
McGregor, 37, had the mole removed from below his right eye after recommendations from doctors.
The actor said "you have to be careful if you’re pale skinned and you spend time in the sun, with moles".
The actor from Crieff, Scotland, first came on the scene in the 1994 thriller 'Shallow Grave' and went on to star in cult classic 'Trainspotting' in 1996. He has since starred in Hollywood films such as 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Down With Love'.
He also went on a 15,000 bike hike from Scotland to South Africa in the BBC's 'Long Way Down' last year.
McGregor who is married to French production designer Eve Mavrakis, is ranked 36 in Empire magazine’s 'The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time' list.
The actor will star alongside Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams in erotic thriller 'Deception' which is released on Friday.
