Ewan McGregor strips naked and shows off his bum in Fargo as he reveals he got ‘fat’ for the scene
Despite feeling ‘properly overweight’ the actor’s bum remained in its usual pert form
EWAN McGregor has never been shy about getting naked on camera so has done once again for the latest series of Fargo.
The 46-year-old actor plays both Ray Stussy and his twin brother Emmett in the FX show, and always one to be dedicated to the role, piled on the pounds to play Ray convincingly during the stark naked bath scene.
He told Vanity Fair: “You see my naked body. Although I wear some padding for Ray to make him heavier, this scene had to justify that padding.
“It wouldn’t make sense for me to wear padding and not be fat when I got out of the bath.
“So when I got out of the bath, I was properly overweight for me.”

And despite the journey to putting on weight seeing like it would be enjoyable, the Scottish star revealed that not only was it not fun, it bad him feel bad too.
He explained: “I ordered a massive dessert and started putting on weight from that second onward."
“It’s quite nice when you’re ordering - you can order whatever you like. But the truth is I would go to bed every night not feeling very great.
“I’m a small guy. I’m not really used to carrying weight. It doesn’t make you feel great. I like to feel fit and healthy. But it was effective. It worked.”
The new series of Fargo started in the US last night and airs on Channel Four next month, with reviewers already tipping Ewan to scoop awards for playing both the roles.
