Ewan McGregor channels Trainspotting character as he braves the shave for cancer charity
Ewan McGregor has 'braved the shave' and cut all his hair off to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. In a video shared by the charity on Saturday (16 August), the actor can be seen with a hair cutting gown draped around him as his daughter Clara shaves his head. 'It's taking me back', he said, appearing to reference his character Renton in the 1996 film Trainspotting, who sports a buzz cut. The 54-year-old shared that he knows lots of people affected by the disease, and added that he was getting rid of his hair to 'stand with people living with cancer' whilst helping raise critical funds so 'no one faces it alone'.

Watch as Breakfast TV host drops F-bomb live on air before burning her cooking in disaster live TV segment
A BREAKFAST TV star turned the airwaves blue - just minutes before a kitchen disaster. Ireland AM host Elaine Crowley ventured out of her usual hosting duties to cook up a storm in the kitchen on Sunday, but it didn't go quite according to plan. 3 3 3 Elaine was dared by one of her producers to take on the challenge and said they got a "heart attack" when she actually arrived to the Virgin Media studio with her ingredients. The popular presenter decided to make her breakfast speciality - smashed avocado on sourdough with salmon and poached eggs. The 48-year-old was joined by chef Lizzy Lyons, who attempted to help Elaine with her recipe but was quickly shooed away. After popping her bread in the toaster and dropping her eggs in the boiling water, Elaine got busy mashing up her avocado and seasoning it. Her co-host Siomha Ni Ruairc curiously asked her: "Do you ever overcook your poached eggs? Is that a thing?" Elaine confidently replied: "No, I overcook my boiled eggs." And in that moment, Elaine quickly realised that she forgot about her eggs boiling and shouted out: "Oh f***, I've overcooked my poached eggs!" The Virgin Media star was gobsmacked by her accidental F-bomb and told viewers: "Oh no. I deeply apologise for... please don't complain [about] me to the BAI." Co-host Kevin Twomey attempted to make her feel better about the blunder saying: Live TV... sometimes this happens. It's a stressful scenario. "I've worked in hospitality and in kitchens and let me tell you, the chefs are saying a lot worse in there." Elaine Crowley shares snaps from holiday Elaine looked disappointed in herself and said: "First time in my life on air, I've said that word. For god sake. "I'm going to get sacked." Elaine then served up her dish for Siomha and Kevin, who looked delighted to finally dig into their grub. Kevin broke out into a coughing fit after his first bite and Elaine shouted out: "Siomha you're pregnant, don't eat it for God sake!" 'GOLD' And if that wasn't enough chaos, as the segment ended Siomha smelt burning coming from the kitchen. Elaine ran over to the oven shouting out: "Oh the toast!" Everyone in the studio were in tears laughing as Siomha said: "Can we get a fire extinguisher in the studio please?" Ireland AM shared the hilarious segment on Instagram and had viewers in stitches. One fan said: "This is hands down the best segment I've ever seen." Carol wrote: "Was the funniest. I was crying laughing."

Michael Sheen says prospects for actors from poorer backgrounds ‘quite scary'
Michael Sheen has warned the pathways that helped him break into acting have all but collapsed, as he said the 'bank of mum and dad' would be unable to support aspiring actors from poorer communities. The Bad Omens star, who grew up in the working class community of Port Talbot, said he had benefited from school support, youth theatres and grants that have since come under financial pressure or been abolished entirely. He said his journey was also aided by a supportive family and the knowledge that his home town had already produced acting royalty in Richard Burton and Sir Anthony Hopkins. However, he said the prospect for actors from underprivileged backgrounds now looked 'quite scary'. 'Having those school plays where the drama was happening in my school – then there was a youth theatre that was funded through the education department of the council, and then I got a grant to go to drama school,' said Sheen, who was speaking at an event opening the Edinburgh TV Festival. 'So just to get to the point of going to drama school, all of those things sort of had to be in place. All of those things have gone, essentially. 'It does worry me that for young people who might want to get into this – if you are relying on the bank of mum and dad – it's really tough to even just go and live in London, or move to wherever. That's why it's so important we get stuff out of London and around the country.' His comments come amid wider concern in the TV world about narrowing access. A crisis in the industry has left many established freelance workers out of a job as production has slowed down and the industry adapts to fast-changing consumption habits. It has led to fears that those without resources behind them will be the first forced out of the industry that already faces allegations of having too many privately educated executives. Sheen said there were schemes to support actors from all backgrounds, but he feared they came too late in life to help some talented children. He advocated a system more like football scouting, spotting talent at a younger age. 'It needs to be like football,' he said. 'You need to get them when they're six, seven years old – start supporting people much younger and help them, because a lot of people are just never going to get to the point where they get picked up in these sorts of programmes and projects.' Sheen said he was trying to address the issue with his new Welsh National Theatre, whose first production, Our Town, by the US playwright Thornton Wilder, has been put through a 'Welsh lens' by the Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies. Sheen said that he was now able to spend time helping his home community in Port Talbot thanks to his success as an actor. However, he revealed he did not have immediate success in Hollywood, initially finding himself spending 'most of my time sitting in diners, reading Stephen King novels and doing very little'. He said it was only when he played Tony Blair in the Channel 4 drama The Deal in 2003, which led to him playing the former prime minister again in The Queen three years later, that his Hollywood career took off. 'I've gone from sitting in diners reading Stephen King novels on my own completely, to then having a very different life and opening up all kinds of opportunities back here as well as over there – and suddenly having a bit of choice and all those kinds of things.'
