Signs of Love: Ewan was born on March 31, 1971, and is an Aries. His love matches are Scorpio and Capricorn.
Star Power: He'll don battle gear to play the young Obi Wan Kenobi in next year's prequel to Star Wars. His uncle, Denis Lawson, appeared in all three Star Wars movies. Good acting genes or just a major coincidence?
Hot Scot: Ewan, who came to fame with his performance as a junkie in Trainspotting, is from Crieff, Scotland. He said he'd never move to Los Angeles because it would "bore me to death."
Gwyneth's Guy: With his long reddish-blond locks and a serious dose of charm, Ewan knocked Gwyneth Paltrow off her horse as the young hunk in Emma.
TV Time: Ewan is so into the nighttime doc drama ER he agreed to appear on an episode as a down-on-his-luck convenience store robber who takes Nurse Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) hostage.
Don't Read This, Alicia! "I hated Clueless with a passion. I thought it would have been really good if someone had blown [Cher's] head off with a really huge gun." Jeepers, Ewan, it was a comedy.
Catch Him Next: Ewan stands out in the romantic comedy called A Life Less Ordinary with Cameron Diaz.
