I have just added all of Ewan’s public appearances from 2008 to the gallery, though he only made 06 appearances! Enjoy.

Long time UNICEF UK Ambassador and actor Ewan McGregor, has today launched a compelling video appealing to the UK public to help in whatever way they can to help Pakistan’s children whose lives have been devastated by the floods. The video will be shown online and as a TV appeal.

McGregor is one of many UNICEF Ambassadors doing what they can to raise crucial funds for the emergency. Ambassadors and High profile supporters including Jemima Khan, Robbie Williams, David Beckham, Sir Roger Moore, HRH Queen Rania of Jordan, Michael Sheen, Charley Boorman, Cat Deeley and many others are tweeting, using facebook, writing news and doing what they can to support Pakistan’s children. To date, the tweets and re-tweets have reached more than 6 million people and helped raise well over £3m for UNICEF from the UK’s public.

McGregor, who has travelled all over the world and seen the work of the world’s leading children’s organisation hopes to boost funds for Pakistan this week with his filmed message that can be viewed across social networking sites, online and on TV.

Ewan McGregor has come to the rescue of a young theatre company after its new production threatened to fail because of a lack of funds.

Set up by a group of actors frustrated by the scarcity of interesting roles, The Factory won rave reviews for its inaugural production of Hamlet in 2008.

However, despite the critical acclaim and support from the likes of Sir Elton John and Bill Nighy, the company’s new play Boiling Frogs by Steven Bloomer faced closing before it even opened. Producer Liam Evans-Ford said a planned three-week run at the Southwark Playhouse was left hanging in the balance after the company failed to get a £10,000 grant from the Arts Council.

It was then that McGregor stepped in. The actor has agreed to take part in a fund-raising evening next Wednesday where he will talk about his life and career.

Tracey Emin has donated a print to be auctioned at the £50-a-ticket event, with all proceeds going towards the play about civil liberties protesters, which opens on September 14. McGregor said: “I am incredibly impressed with the skill and commitment of the other actors and everyone involved. Really an inspiration for all.”
