Ewan McGregor & Melanie Laurent in Paris walking arms linked, holding hands = WTH

What?! I thought Ewan was married with kids!

 

^^ I know I'm confused too! They look so cozy...

 

Well there are rumours him and his wife have an open marriage.

 

^lol!
and his wife is french!

 

Oh, Ewan! They look so cute though, at that premiere! thanks for the pictures!

 

I don't think there's anything going on with Ewan and Melanie - hasn't anyone here ever walked that way with a friend? I do all the time! Guy friends, girl friends, gay friends, etc, it's not like they're sticking their tongues down each others throats, I don't think we should judge them And she looks adorable at the premiere

 

Married Ewan McGregor cosies up to co-star as they walk arm in arm in Paris.

He's never been short of female fans, but Ewan McGregor appears to have found a close friend in his latest co-star.

McGregor, who has been married for 15 years, and French actress Mélanie Laurent turned heads as they strolled through a freezing Paris arm in arm last night.

The pair recently finished shooting upcoming movie Beginners together, and it appears their friendship is still going strong.



They had enjoyed a night out dining with friends at the French capital's luxury Hyatt hotel, before leaving to brave the cold winter night together.

McGregor married production designer Eve Mavrakis, who is also French, in 1995. The couple live in north London with their three daughters.

Laurent, 26, is best known for her critically acclaimed performance in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, released last year.



Beginners finished shooting in December and is currently in post-production.

In the new film, McGregor plays a man rocked by two shock announcements from his elderly father, played by Christopher Plummer, who reveals that he has terminal cancer and is gay.

McGregor rose to international fame in 1996 playing the role of Renton in the cult British film Trainspotting.

They were also together at the Paris premiere of 'I Love You Phillip Morris' (Feb 1).

Does anyone know if he's split from his wife?

This is just a bit strange. I mean I personally would never do that with a married friend but there is a slight chance it's innocent. Some people have said she looks drunk. What do you guys think?

 

i just love Ewan and can't forget how cute he talked about his wife, so i hope to god this is just innocent friends behaviour
BUT i wouldn't do that either with a married friend. walk arm in arm yes, but holding hands? no, certainly not...especially not when i'm alone with the guy
and just judging from the pics she definitely seems very interested in him

 

jeez,i was hoping this was a different kind of rumour considering his m2m roles....if you know what i mean

 

He likes his french women!

 

they are just walking arm and arm! if they were kissing or holding hands would be another story!!

 

She certainly looks charmed by him.

 

^ It's not just arm in arm ... it's that plus holding hands with fingers intertwined. Sorry, you don't do that if you're not involved. What I don't get is why he's out on the town with her, still wearing his big a$$ wedding ring ...

 

hmm perhaps it a cultural thing... i don't know maybe i don't know anything! i could be wrong but i've done that before with my male friends that are in relationships, it's out of love(brotherly) plus it's cold!

i think it looks innocent...

 

That does not look innocent, no matter what culture you're in. It comes off really suspect. I think any woman in a relationship would have a problem with her husband/boyfriend walking around with a female friend that hangs all over him like that. No matter how much trust you have in your relationship, your red flag automatically goes up. Holding hands, fingers intertwined and at one point she rested her head on his shoulder. That's inappropriate. And if I was one of your male friends girlfriends, you would most definitely be hearing from me and it wouldn't be pretty for you OR him.

 

^ I agree Snowkei that it is unappropriate no matter what culture ! I would be sooo angry with my boyfriend if I cought him walking and acting like that with another woman because it is not just 'friendly' behaviour - it is much more. it is intimate, cuddly, caring, loving...let's see how this story will turn out

 

noo ewan..... i wouldnt walk like that with a close male friend especially not hand holding it would upset my boyfriend and vice versa.. i would not be happy. Although i wish jim carrey was my friend..

 

I feel bad for the wife.

Are they unaware of the paparazzi, or don't they care?

 

Yep, that's the consensus. Ewan has had affairs on set before, but he always goes back to the wife and family.

Personally, I think monogamy is overrated. As long as everybody is clear about the rules and afforded the same freedom, I have no problem with open relationships.
Lies and lack of communication kill more relationships than sexual freedom does.

So do I. Hands clasped and all. I'll go as far as kisses, simply because I'm an affectionate person.
Some people will adamantly deny that the same kind of friendships that exist between women can exist between man and woman because they can never get over the sexual attractiveness part.
I only partly disagree. I think for women that's easily done, not so for men.

My point: they could really be only cozy friends. Melanie is a flirty woman (did you see her behavior with Quentin all through the IB promo tour?). But if this is the case, Ewan might have a different idea of what is going on than Melanie.
