Ewan McGregor's daughter Clara reveals an incredibly awkward moment she was forced to see her dad NAKED at school

She is the daughter of award-winning actor Ewan McGregor, perhaps best known for his roles in Star Wars, Trainspotting and Moulin Rouge.

And while Clara McGregor has previously admitted she's happy being a nepo baby, the actress has also revealed that having a famous dad can lead to incredibly embarrassing moments.

Clara appeared on Jimmy Kimmel with Ewan earlier this week and talked about the time she was forced to watch her father naked in one of his films during her gender studies class in high school.

Clara retold the awkward moment, explaining, “When I was in high school, I took a gender studies class.

“My teacher came to me towards the end of the semester and said, 'Listen, there's a movie I usually teach, it's part of the curriculum, your dad is in it. There's some nudity, so I wanted you to run it before we looked at it in class.”

Ewan, 52, shares Clara, 28, with his ex-wife Eve Mavrakis, but having a famous dad doesn't come without awkward moments

'And I said it was fine. I didn't really think much about it. And so we watched the film The Pillow Book, which was a brilliant film.'

Released in 1996, the erotic drama film sees a Japanese model with a bodywriting fetish looking for a combined lover and calligrapher, while Ewan plays one of her lovers, Jerome, who allows her to write on his naked body.

She continued, “But if you watch that movie at 17 with your entire high school class, it's more like they're watching me watch that movie, which is definitely an interesting….”

As the audience and Ewan burst into laughter, Jimmy asked, “And are you naked in that movie?”

Ewan replied, “A lot,” as Clara interjected, “Full frontal nudity, all the time.”

The actress is promoting her father-daughter road trip film Bleeding Love, which will be shown at the Glasgow Film Festival next month. She produced and starred in the film with her Perth-born father.

The star, who shares Clara with his ex-wife Eve Mavrakis, went on to explain that Clara's teacher also asked him for permission.

“I said, 'Look, I wouldn't want to be the reason you don't show that movie to your kids, because it's a beautiful movie.'

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel with Ewan earlier this week, Clara talked about the time she had to see her father naked on The Pillow Book, as she explained: 'It was awkward'

Jimmy joked: “Well, they say 'that's where she came from'” as the crowd erupted into hysterics

“But I said, 'You have to make sure the kids are mature enough not to make fun of Clara or make her feel bad about it,'” Ewan explained.

Clara added: “It was awkward. I think they probably felt a little uncomfortable too.”

Jimmy joked: 'Well, they say 'that's where she came from'' as the crowd erupted into hysterics.

However, Clara has also recognized that having a famous father comes with its perks.

She said: 'What comes with that is a huge amount of privilege. I grew up with privileged wealth, but also with my father's celebrity privilege. So when people say, 'Is it hard to have a famous dad?', I say, 'Oh no, it's not.'

'I love my father, I never wanted to distance myself from that. When it comes to the whole nepo baby thing, I get it. I understand the frustration. I've had many more opportunities because of who he is. That cannot be denied.

“I think a lot of things are made easier because you have a famous parent.

“I love acting, I love being on a movie set and growing up around it I fell in love with it. All I want is to be very good at what I do and keep getting better.”
