Ewan McGregor Says Intimacy Coordinator Was ‘Necessary’ to Film Sex Scenes With Wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead: ‘It’s Also About the Crew’


Ewan McGregor says it was 'necessary' that he and his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead had an intimacy coordinator on set of 'A Gentleman in Moscow.'

For McGregor, it’s also crucial that productions hire intimacy coordinators because in the past, a young actor — similar in age to his 22-year-old daughter Esther — may have felt pressured to perform in “unnecessary” scenes. McGregor plays Count Alexander Rostov in “A Gentleman in Moscow,” while Winstead portrays Anna Urbanova, described as “a glamorous, independent and self-made film actress, at the height of her fame.” As the years pass and some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
