Liam Neeson Rules Out More ‘Star Wars’ Appearances: I’m “Too F-ing Old”

“No one’s ever really gone,” Luke Skywalker famously said in 2017’s “Star Wars – Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.” A poignant line about memory and those we keep dear in our hearts, the line arguably had the double ironic meaning of how no one ever actually ever dies in genre films, especially not in “Star Wars,” thanks to the whole Force Ghost conceit. Speaking of Force Ghosts, while Liam Neeson made a brief appearance in 2022’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series starring Ewan McGregor, the actor doesn’t seem interested in much more beyond that brief cameo.

Ewan McGregor says he had an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes with his wife

Ewan McGregor has shared that an intimacy coordinator was still used for sex scenes between him and his wife.The upcoming series A Gentleman in Moscow features McGregor performing alongside his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The pair shared sex scenes in the programme, for which McGregor said it was “still necessary” to have an intimacy coordinator.Speaking with Radio Times (via CNN), the Moulin Rouge star said: “It’s still necessary, because it’s also about the crew, and it’s odd to be naked in front of people, it’s odd to be intimate in front of the camera.”He added: “If you were doing a dance scene, you’d have a choreographer.”Continuing to explain the importance of an intimacy coordinator, whose job it is to guide and support the actors during intimate scenes, for example simulated sex, McGregor said: “It’s an important part of the work now, because it’s somebody that the director and actors meet in the middle.”He elaborated on the sensitive topic surrounding intimate scenes in films, citing his 22-year-old daughter Esther, who is known for her roles in Obi-Wan Kenobi and High School.
