Ewan McGregor's cartoon penis

Jan 3, 2007, 8:00 GMT

Ewan McGregor wanted to have an animated penis in his latest film.

The 'Moulin Rouge' actor stars as the love interest in his new movie 'Miss Potter' - which focuses on the life of famous children's author Beatrix Potter, portrayed by Renée Zellweger - and admits he was desperate to show off his manhood in any shape or form.

Ewan, who has appeared naked in several of his films, said: "I did try to get it in the film. They said, 'Its nice Ewan, but we don't think it quite works with this movie.'

"They tried animating it: putting Peter Rabbit's face on it and making it speak to Beatrix, but they didn't think it was tasteful enough in the end."

Ewan is currently on location in New York filming a new movie and is planning to have cyber sex with his wife, Clara, via a webcam so he doesn't get lonely.

The Scottish actor - who has two biological daughters with his wife and a third adopted daughter he met in Mongolia while touring the country on his motorbike - revealed: "You have to be selfish because of the unsociable hours and intensity of the work. Your kids aren't there and your wife isn't there.

"This time we have sorted out some video conferencing, having dinner together with your laptops either side of the Atlantic. Nice idea. The sexual possibilities are endless."

There is a blatant double standard when it comes to the showing of male genitalia versus female genitalia. Look at how many penises have been in mainstream movies, R rated, then compare that figure to the number of visible vulvas/vaginas (not pubic hair!). Clearly skewed. I can bet any movie you name (besides Dreamers, NC17, Caligula, NR, Knocked Up, fake vagina occluded by child) fails to show a vagina! I'm sure you don't believe me, look for yourself. If you agree with me, help fight this double standard! groups.yahoo.com/group/Fight_the_MPAA/ While McGregor's stunt of nude proportions had a slight artistic taste to it, it was also taken a bit too far.

As an straight guy I'm tired of the enaquality of showing male genitalia in most mainstream movies nowdays, while close-ups of penises are allowed by the MPAA, vaginas are totally forbidden in these movies, female nudity is decreasing enormously while male nudity is increasing and beiin esplicit and acceptable even in PG13 movies. There's no PG13 movies with female nudity, but there is a lot of shots of bare naked male butts and esplicit male jokes. Why does the MPAA allowed male nudity while forbiddens full female nudity ?. The vagina is the only human part that is considered pornographyc, Why ?. To end this, if you are an straight male 'do not spend your money in Jude Apatow movies', he is the one that is encouraging and producing movies showing male genitalia, saying that America fears the Penis. This is of course so absurd, just wacth any shows on TV or movies, there's always references about male genitalia, but female genitalia is even restricted in these shows, if the word vagina is mention on TV it gets an automatically PG14 or TVMA, so waht america fears is not the penis but the 'VAGINA'.
DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY IN JUDE APATOWS MOVIES.

I am sick of every tv show or movie having to have some context about the male genatalia, the double standard is absurd. I am to the point that anytime the male genitals are used in a show-I stop-would it not be a change to hear the words c-nt, twa-, puss-, sli-, vagina jokes ?? Enough is enough and your right lets see some labia, vulva and clitoris and repeatedly make fun of them
