Clara McGregor is recalling the strong advice her father, Ewan McGregor, gave her when she told him she wanted to be an actress. The 30-year-old opened up about the memorable moment on the Nov. 10 episode of the Camelot Films Podcast.
“When I first told him I wanted to be an actor, both my parents were like, ‘OK, well, good luck. It’s f—ing tough out there,’ ” she said with a laugh.
Despite his warning, Clara revealed that the 55-year-old actor is well aware of how lucky he’s been to have his own successful acting career.
“He was also very aware of how lucky he got [in his own career],” she explained. “He is very good, but he — right out of drama school — got very lucky with agents and people kind of finding him.”
“I think there’s an awareness that’s just not always how it is,” the Running on Empty star continued. “My mom being a production designer in film has also seen so much of it. They were very realistic with me about it being very tough, potentially not working out, and that I really needed a backup. My mom was like, ‘You need to go to university and have something to fall back on.’”
Clara went on to reveal that although Ewan hasn’t been involved in getting her acting work, he has helped with her film education.
“He’s never really been one to make calls for me or anything like that, but he’ll show me good movies,” she said. “He’ll talk to me about his process on set and, also, I think he taught me just how important it is to be humble and to be grateful to be working and that everyone around you on set is making you look better.”
Clara further opened up about getting the opportunity to work with her dad in the 2024 drama film Bleeding Love and how he trusted in her own acting abilities.
“We were working together… and he never once gave me any notes or told me how to act at all,” she shared. “Because he’s a pro.”
“He knows that you don’t do that to another actor or the best people don’t as well. If you’re great, you never need to get any notes… and also you just don’t give notes to a fellow actor.”
Ewan and his first wife, Eve Mavrakis, welcomed Clara in 1995 and their second daughter, Esther, in 2001. They then went on to adopt two more daughters, Jamyan and Anouk, before separating in May 2017. He welcomed his son, Laurie, with his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, in 2021.
