Ewan's 'penis chop'

London - Ewan McGregor says he is disappointed that US fans will not be able to see his full frontal nude shot in his new movie.
Film company Sony Classics decided to cut the scene from the American release of the forthcoming movie Young Adam.
The scene will remain uncut in Britain.
But the Star Wars actor asked why his nudity was deemed so offensive when Hollywood rarely censors graphic violence.
"If you want to see my penis, you'll have to fly to Britain," McGregor, 32, told Premiere magazine.
"If I'd blown away 5 000 people with a semi-automatic machine gun, that would be fine. But I showed my penis."
He also says sex scenes in movies should be awkward and unattractive - just like sex in real life.
McGregor told German magazine Glamour: "Then it's not like in 80s movies where the bodies look as if they'd been rubbed with baby oil.
"This is bare, realistic intercourse where you sometimes feel awkward and unattractive and both people don't reach orgasm at the same time - just like in real life."
The 32-year-old actor, who stars opposite Renée Zellweger, 34, in the upcoming film Down with Love, says he doesn't mind getting naked in front of the cameras.
"When the sex is essential to the story I don't make any compromises in my acting," he said. - Ananova.com
