EWAN McGREGOR hated the moustache he had to wear for new film MISS POTTER so much, he wore a hat in an effort to make people think he was planning a full-on disguise.
And the Scottish actor wasn’t the only one who hated his facial hair - his wife EVE wasn’t a fan either.
The MOULIN ROUGE! star says, "She wasn’t so keen on the mustache. It’s nice in the film, and your period clothes on set look great, but, as soon as you’re in contemporary London with a big moustache, it’s quite weird.
"It’s quite difficult to pull off. I tried my best. I found a hat helped. If you wear a hat somehow it balances off the big tash."

DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR drove a wedge between best pals PETER O’TOOLE and RICHARD BURTON, because she disapproved of her husband hanging out with the wild actor.
O’Toole and Burton became close friends when they were neighbours in Hampstead, London at the beginning of their acting careers, but when Taylor started courting Welshman Burton the pals’ wild nights had to stop.
The LAWRENCE OF ARABIA star recalls, "He’d come to my place or I’d got to his and then we’d carry the other home. Elizabeth wasn’t keen on that. She probably thought I led him astray.
"She didn’t approve. That was a bone of contention between me and Richard. I said, ‘If you now need permission to come see me, then you go f**k yourself, you old git!’"

LATEST: US property tycoon DONALD TRUMP will end the speculation surrounding the Miss USA scandal tomorrow (19DEC06) when he hosts a press conference and declares whether TARA CONNER will lose her crown.
Trump, who owns the Miss USA pageant name, will have the final say as to whether party girl Conner’s wild antics on the New York club scene is befitting a beauty queen.

Conner, 20, has also reportedly failed to make promotional appearances and fulfil other obligations that come with the Miss USA crown.
In a statement, Trump’s representatives declare, "Mr Trump is seriously studying the situation. First and foremost he is concerned about Tara and wants to do what is best for her. Then he will think about what is best for the very successful Miss USA pageant."

SYLVESTER STALLONE had to make the tough decision to dump his son SAGE from ROCKY sequel ROCKY BALBOA - because he feared critics would read too much into the onscreen father-and-son relationship.
Sage played Rocky Balboa Jr in ROCKY V 16 years ago (90), but he’s replaced by MILO VENTIMIGLIA in the new movie, and his father admits it was a tough decision to leave his son out of the project.
Stallone says, "I told Sage, ‘If you do it, people will think we’re playing out a personal drama and it would draw a little too much attention.’ "I thought people would wonder, ‘Did that really happen at home? Is that your relationship?’ I just didn’t want him hammered with all these questions.
"He took it in spirit. In the film, there’s a real sticking point as to why his son can’t give him unconditional love and I’ve had that where my son just feels challenged and threatened by me.
"I’ve had those conversations with my son, where he should use it to his advantage and that he’s ahead of the game. I think it’s important to have these honest kinds of talks to have any kind of relationship, but often they’re not as simple as it’s depicted in the film."

LATEST: Hollywood adventurer EWAN McGREGOR is already planning his third and final televised bike trip documentary - months before he sets off on his second.
The Scottish actor and pal CHARLEY BOORMAN filmed their biking exploits from London to New York, via Mongolia, Siberia and Alaska, for 2004 series LONG WAY ROUND - and now they’re planning a second trip from the top of Scotland to the tip of Cape Town, South Africa next year (07).
But as the intrepid pals plan to hit the road again for LONG WAY DOWN, they hope to conclude their travels in the Americas with LONG WAY UP - a bike journey that will take McGregor and Boorman from the southern-most tip of South America up into the United States.
And these aren’t the only adventures McGregor is planning - he’s also hoping to make the most of his new love for paragliding by jumping off the Munro Mountains in Scotland.
He explains, "There’re lots of people who make it their life’s work to climb them all (284 mountains) - you’d just have to find a really good rucksack for the paraglider."

Dylan mentions Keys on the song THUNDER ON THE MOUNTAIN and she has been in musical heaven ever since.
She explains, "I could not believe it. The first person who told me about it was JOHN MAYER. He said, ‘You’re never gonna believe this but I just heard that Dylan has your name in his song.’ "I was totally not expecting it but then I couldn’t wait to hear it because it wasn’t coming out for a while.
"It’s such a big honour because Dylan’s such a lyrical genius and storyteller with so much history. As a writer myself, I admire him. I thanked him greatly."

"If he recovers or comes back, we’d be very happy to see it." The Wiggles concert started with a video message from Page, which signalled his final and official handover to Moran. He passed on the yellow turtleneck in the video presentation saying, "Personally, I want to thank everybody for their messages of support in the time that I’ve been unwell, most of all I want to thank my family for standing by me during this difficult time." Moran, who was warmly introduced onstage by the remaining members of the Wiggles, ANTHONY FIELD, MURRAY COOK and JEFF FATT, said returning to Sydney was especially significant saying, "To be home in Sydney, to be doing shows here, we’ve been looking forward to it."
