EWAN MCGREGOR - WIFE TO JOIN MCGREGOR ON BIKE TREK

WIFE TO JOIN MCGREGOR ON BIKE TREK

Hollywood star EWAN MCGREGOR will be joined by his wife on his upcoming second televised motorbike trip documentary. 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 journey from the top of Scotland to the tip of Cape Town, South Africa next year (07). And MCGregor's wife EVE has been learning how to ride a motorbike so she can join her husband for three weeks. MCGregor says, "Being away from my wife and kids is hard but it's part of the work of being an actor anyway. "My wife is very supportive. She'll be coming out for part of the next trip. "I have been married for 11 years and she has rarely even been on the back of a bike but she's training to ride and will do the middle three weeks with us."
