Ewan McGregor loves watching his own films.

The 'Ghost Writer' actor admits he is his own biggest fan and enjoys nothing more than the first time he goes into a cinema to see himself in action in a new project.

He said: "I love nothing more than going to see one of my films for the first time. Without fail, the first thing I think is 'Is that me?' You know, I'm sitting there, and then it goes dark and the projection starts and I go, 'Flipping heck.' I say to myself, 'That's me up there.' I always dreamed of doing it, and I still can't quite believe I'm doing it."

The actor - who has three daughters with wife Eve Mavrakis - has appeared naked in several of his films but insists his spouse doesn't usually mind him getting intimate with other actresses on screen.

However, he added to Parade.com: "I have done quite a few sex scenes in my career. But my wife has always been okay with them except when she was pregnant with our first daughter, Clara, and I went off to do the sex scene in 'Trainspotting'. Hormonally, she was all over the place.

"We had a massive fight about it. But that's the only time it's ever been an issue. Look, it's a weird situation to be seeing your partner in an emotional and sexual embrace with someone else in front of an audience of people. But it's my job. And, ultimately, she's completely cool with it."
