How Ewan McGregor Kicked The Smoking Habit

Josh loposer — Fri, 22 May 2009 11:30:00 GMT

Need motivation to quit smoking? Ewan McGregor's like an encyclopedia of anti-smoking motivational tips. OK, not really... but he did quit using the amazing power of imaginary shame.

“I wasn’t someone who could smoke or drink in moderation, and I recognized that those things would kill me. I started visualizing the doctor telling me that I had cancer from smoking or that I was extremely ill because of how much I’d been drinking. What kind of regret would I have if I had to tell my children or my wife that I was dying because of something I could have done something about? I didn’t want to be that kind of man.”

Seriously though, if the thought of your own shriveled, blackened lungs struggling for air doesn't persuade you, imagine what it's like telling your wife and children that you deserve a Darwin Award. That would be embarrassing.

Though he pretty much refuses to talk about his family -- wife Eve and children Clara, 13, Esther, 8, and Jamiyan, 7 -- People did manage to get him to give a tip about marriage.

“If you spend too much time ‘working’ on your relationship, I don’t think it’s a relationship worth being in. With Eve, I’ve never had to work. We just have it."

Wow. He should be a celebrity life coach or, even better, write a motivational book.

Mommy Bryce Dallas Howard Plays Preggers in New Terminator Movie

Karl Erikson — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:36:00 GMT

When Hollywood bigwig director McG came to new mommy Bryce Dallas Howard with a role in the new Terminator movie a couple years ago, she figured she'd have to lose her baby weight, and fast. She'd just given birth to her son, Theodore Norman (now 2).

"I had a pregnant body with no child in it," Bryce said at the film's L.A. premiere Thursday.

McG gave her the role of Kate, wife of John Connor, who is played by Christian Bale. "I was so excited," Bryce says, "but then was just kind of waiting to tell him, 'I'm not in great shape right now.'" She gave McG the news and he said, "That's okay. Kate's really pregnant, that'll be even better."

During the filming of Terminator, Bryce - daughter of Ron Howard, another megastar director - started losing weight, even without any action scenes. "Naturally, just after a woman has a baby, she starts to lose weight," she says. "McG was throwing cookies at me the whole time. 'You're still eight months pregnant in the movie! Be careful! Continuity!"

Bryce laughs about it now, but she's happy to be back into her usual shape, having used "good old-fashioned diet and exercise, and homeopathy to help me get my hormones back in shape, because that goes crazy after you have a child."

Terminator Salvation starts in movie theaters Thursday. Can't wait. Hopefully, it'll be so good that it erases Terminator 3 from my memory.

Yum! Much better than my last DILF Alert, Ewan McGregor was in a couple of magazines over the last few weeks.

These totally make me want to pull out my Full Monty DVD. Yes, I own that. :)

Ewan is Daddy to Clara Mathilde, 12, Esther Rose, 7, and Jamiyan, 7 (Jamiyan was adopted from Mongolia in 2006).
