Ewan McGregor will never grow another mustache — unless a job requires it. And even then, he’d probably argue that the character should be clean-shaven. “Once it goes white, maybe,” he says. “Then I think it might look good.”
McGregor’s mustache is for his role in “A Gentleman in Moscow,” a series that asked him to learn how to do a number of different things — age a character over decades, play a father and a lover, explore the inner life of a man well versed in grief and loss who never loses his zest for life.
“The experience of making this show is why I wanted to be an actor,” he says. “It’s such a beautiful piece; it leaves you thinking, ‘God, I hope there’s another one out there somewhere in the future.’ But who knows?”
