Ewan McGregor makes a rare public appearance with his daughter Anouk, 12

Ewan McGregor made a rare public appearance with his daughter Anouk, 12, to watch Manchester City play Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The actor, 52, showed his support for Manchester City as he sported a blue scarf and cheered on the team as they secured an impressive 4-1 victory. 

He cut a smart figure in beige trousers and a black T-shirt, which he styled with a black zip-up jacket and brown lace-up boots.

Ewan added a touch of colour to his look with the team’s light blue scarf and tucked his dark tresses beneath a checkered flat cap.

He opted for a different look to his normally full beard as he instead sported a very full moustache, while the rest of his face was clean-shaven.

The Trainspotting star looked every inch the doting father as he took his daughter Anouk, 12, along to the hotly-anticipated game.

Anouk, who he adopted with his ex-wife Eve Mavrakis in 2011, wore cream trousers, a white T-shirt, a black jacket and a Manchester City scarf.

Manchester City beat Liverpool 4-1 in the tense match, with Julián Álvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, İlkay Gündoğan and Jack Grealish scoring the all-important goals. 

As well as Anouk, Ewan adopted Jamyan, 21, with production designer Eve in 2006 while the couple also share daughters Clara, 27, and Esther, 21.

Ewan and Eve, who met on the set of the TV crime drama Kavanagh QC, split in 2017 after 22 years of marriage and their divorce was finalised in August 2020. 

Ewan, who blamed ‘irreconcilable differences’ for the split, then began dating Mary Elizabeth Winstead. 

The Moulin Rouge! actor has a 21-month-old son, Laurie, with his second wife Mary, who he tied the knot with in April 2022.

The couple had not revealed they were expecting and their surprise baby news was first shared by Ewan’s daughter Clara in June 2021.

She wrote: ‘Welcome to the world little brother congratulations to my Dad & Mary – this is the greatest gift.’ 

His daughter Esther also shared pictures cradling the newborn as she gushed: ‘Met my little brother looking like a pirate. I recommend! Welcome to the family little Laurie.’

It is not the first time Ewan has been spotted with one of his children in recent weeks, as he stepped out with his daughter Clara earlier this month.

The pair recently attended the premiere of their new film You Sing Loud, I Sing Louder at the SXSW Conference in Austin, Texas, together.

Ewan and his eldest daughter Clara have had a rocky relationship, since she famously branded his second wife Mary a ‘piece of trash’ called him an ‘a***hole’.

But the father and daughter have repaired their relationship over the past five years and recently completed work on their first joint project.  

You Sing Loud, I Sing Louder, is a film conceived by Clara, with Ewan explaining of his daughter’s pitch to him: ‘She tells me that she’d come up with an idea about writing about us. 

‘At first I was a bit nervous. I didn’t know what that meant.’ 

The film focuses on a father-daughter road trip, with Ewan’s character driving his daughter, played by Clara, to rehab. 

While the drive is fictional, the premise of a father trying to help his daughter is based on Clara’s own experience. 

‘I sat down to read it and I was blown away. It was a beautiful story about us. There’s things that aren’t accurate, or are bent, but they still reflect our estrangement for a while,’ he explained.

‘The drive is fictional. But for a couple of years, we sort of lost her. So the storyline is about her realising that she needs the help her father’s trying to give. 

‘Along the way, their relationship is healed somewhat.’
