Clara McGregor is a model, actress, and producer best known for Christopher Robin (2018), The Birthday Cake (2021), Reefa (2021), American Horror Story (2022), and Bleeding Love (2023).

While Clara is a successful artist in her own right, she is also best known because of her parents — Ewan McGregor and Eve Mavrakis.

Here is all we know about her.

Clara McGregor’s Wikipedia

Clara was born on February 4, 1996, making her an Aquarius. At the time of writing, her age is 28. 

She was born to her parents in England, UK. At the time of her birth, her father was not as big a shot as he is today.

However, soon after her birth, her father’s Oscar-nominated film, Trainspotting, was released, which brought Ewan into the limelight. He talked about his stardom and his daughter’s birth with The Hollywood Reporter in 2021.

“I had Clara in my lap as a baby doing press at Cannes for Trainspotting.” He said, “Ultimately, through all of that craziness and that time, I had that sort of safety line through my life, which was my work and family, that I could latch onto.”

Throughout her childhood, Clara was kept out of the public’s eyes. Her parents raised her in a “sheltered” upbringing.

However, the actress does not have any complaints about it. She once said, “The only thing I had to deal with was kids at school saying, ‘Your dad’s Obi-Wan Kenobi,’ and that was fine, and I wasn’t thrown into the public eye before I had my own decision to put myself there.”

Before Clara decided to follow in her parents’s footsteps, she decided to be a photographer. As a result, she attended New York University to pursue a degree in photography.

However, after a year of going to college, she took an acting class and soon decided to be an actress. She eventually realized that she was uncomfortable studying photography and wondered why she was so “stubborn” about pursuing acting.

She talked about her journey with Playboy back in 2018. She revealed that because of her parents, especially her father, she did not want to pursue acting.

She said, “I said I was going to be a photographer, I’m going to be behind the lens. At 12 years old, I moved to LA which is all Hollywood and all I was asked is, ‘Are you going to do what your dad does?’ I was rebelling. I was like, ‘No! I’m not going to do what he does! I’m going to be behind the camera.’”

However, in college, she decided that photography was not for her and that being an actress was her calling. “And then I got to college and asked myself, ‘Why are you being so stubborn about this?’ I wasn’t happy in the photo department so I transferred to the film studies department and then I took an acting class and fell in love with it.”

Clara graduated from New York University in 2017 and has embarked on her journey as an actress since then.

Clara McGregor’s parents and siblings

As said before, Clara has famous parents. Her father, Ewan, is best known for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and has received accolades like a Golden Globe Award and a Primetime Emmy Award. 

Her mother, Mavrakis, was a French-Greek Jewish production designer. The couple met each other on the set of Kavanagh QC, in 1995.

They soon fell in love and got married. They welcomed two biological daughters, one of them being Clara and the other being Esther McGregor, who is also an actress and model like her sister and father.

Ewan and his wife adopted two children, Jamyan McGregor and Anouk McGregor. Clara’s adopted siblings are adored by her and her parents alike.

Ewan and Mavrakis sought adoption after meeting Jamyan at a Unicef children’s shelter during a 2004 cycling journey in Mongolia, which was recorded in the television series The Long Way Round

Two years later, in April 2006, they adopted the then four-year-old, with Ewan admitting that he couldn’t get the young girl out of his mind. Similarly, Anouk was born in February 2011 and was adopted by her parents when she was four months old.

Clara is very fond of her siblings and is constantly supporting them. She is also very protective of her siblings and once said, “I hope they can grow up in a world where they don’t feel like they need to look a certain way or be anything that doesn’t feel natural to them.”

Clara’s parents got divorced when on January 19, 2018, after being separated since May 2017. Ewan filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, and it was finalized on August 13, 2020.

Clara did not take her parents’s separation well initially. When her father was caught making out with his current partner, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, in 2017, Clara was mad at Winstead.

At the time, her parents were not separated yet. Clara referred to Winstead as a “piece of trash” in a fan account-shared photo nine months after Ewan filed for divorce.

Clara later admitted to The Times in 2018 that she had not been mature about it. “There had been a lot building up to it and a lot to deal with — not to make excuses or anything — but yeah, it wasn’t my finest moment,” she said. 

She had not met Winstead and claimed that she supported her mother, Mavrakis. “I have my mom’s back in this — fully. Not only as a daughter but as a woman,” she said. Ewan got married to Winstead in April 2022 after welcoming their son, Laurie, in June 2021.

Now, Clara is more mature about her parents and is happy for her father, his new relationship, and her little sibling.

Clara McGregor’s boyfriend and dating history 

At the time of writing, it is unknown if Clara has a boyfriend. Not much is known about her dating history, but she once dated her boyfriend, Gordon Goodman.

They met in 2015 at New York University, where the duo studied film. They split in 2017, and Clara told Daily Mail, “It just was no longer working and we weren’t on the same page. It was the right choice.”

She then started dating dire­ctor Jimmy Giannopoulos and they were together for three years. Since then, it is unknown if she has had a boyfriend or if she is dating anyone. 

However, back in 2020, she came out as bisexual to her parents and siblings. She revealed that she had been dating girls as well and how her parents were supportive of it. 

“I went downstairs one morning and said, ‘I’m going on a date with this girl’. Mum was like, ‘Oh OK’ and it was fine,” she said. “My dad was ecstatic. He loved the idea. He was just very supportive of it and happy, he was just like it was all good.”

However, she has never revealed if she has had a girlfriend or not.

Zendaya Is Thriving – Inside ‘Dune 2’ Star’s Life and Some Remarkable Fashion Moments

Zendaya—there’s hardly any millennial or Gen Z with a social media presence who doesn’t know the name. She is currently one of the most prominent celebrities in the West, and she owes a big chunk of that attention to her fashion sense. With Dune 2’s success and Challengers lined up to release in 2024, Zendaya is as busy as ever.

Zendaya is popular for her role as a disturbed teen addict, Rue, from the show Euphoria and as the latest Mary Jane in the Spiderman franchise, where she is seen alongside her beau, Tom Holland. Despite being the youngest Primetime Emmy-winning actor in a lead role, Zendaya is a woman of many talents, one of which is to serve looks.

Zendaya was recently seen in London for the premiere of her new film Dune 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Dune, which was released in October 2021. Given her track record of serving looks on every red carpet that she marks her presence on, her costume was one for the books.

Thousands of fans who were on the lookout for her look were not left disappointed.

Zendaya stunned the red carpet to the premiere with Mugler’s suit of armor known as Machine Human. The shiny silver suit is from Mugler’s Fall-Winter 1995-96 collection. It is an artistically crafted semi-nude armor from the Mugler archive, and the actress carried it beautifully.

Given that the theme of her new release revolves along the line of sci-fi meets magic, the futuristic armor was a daring yet appropriate choice for the premiere.

While the original piece featured the model with a matching headpiece with the armor and a long black cape, Zendaya’s devoted stylist, Law Roach, played around with the intricacies and replaced the headpiece and the cape with a pair of matching silver gloves and a Bvlgari necklace. Needless to say, the actress looked mechanical and divine.

She later changed into a more comfortable look with Mugler’s black draped dress from the designer’s Fall 2024 collection. The simple yet classic look was accessorized with a pair of vintage Bvlgari earrings and everyone’s favorite Louboutins.

While the armor was a definitive standout fit, Zendaya has had various other noteworthy looks in her book as she promotes her new release. From the custom Louis Vuitton gold look in Paris to the custom Torishéju look in Mexico City, Zendaya remains the queen of the red carpet, all while following the theme of her latest project.

Zendaya may seem like a look-serving machine addicted to slaying her red-carpet outfits, but there’s no denying that she owes many of her fashion moments to her longtime stylist, Law Roach.

Who is Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach?

Roach and Zendaya share a long-term collaboration that extends over 10 years. Roach comments that his collaboration with Zendaya has been fruitful for both of their careers and that he is proud to have a creative counterpart where there is a lot of faith, trust, and experimentation—the ideals of fashion.

We cannot, however, discuss Zendaya’s fashion dominance without mentioning her iconic Cinderella moment from Met Gala 2019.

The Met Gala is New York’s most exclusive event, taking place every year on the first Monday of May. Each year hundreds of celebrities mark their presence at the Gala with a line of exquisite designer wear, making it the most anticipated fashion event of the year. The Gala is an invite-only event, with Vogue’s CEO Anna Wintour making the final call.

The Met Gala serves as a platform for both emerging and established designers to showcase their designs according to the theme. The attendees wear designer outfits and walk through the dreamy carpets, showcasing the artists’ vision to hundreds of photographers gathered right below the infamous Met staircase, as celebrities make their way through the steps of the Met.

The theme for the 2019 Met Gala was ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion,’ and the year saw some of the best Met Gala appearances by multiple A-listers. Zendaya, along with Roach, appeared in a custom Tommy Hilfiger Cinderella gown.

As divine as the gown was on its own, the look went off the charts when Roach, with a couple of waves from his wand and a wisp of smoke, made the dress glow up like a Christmas tree! 8 The final result was a dreamy, magical look taking us on a nostalgic ride to the world of fantasies and fairy tales, and it really happened.

Some of Zendaya’s other iconic looks include

1. Custom Emerald Green Vera Wang Gown with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit that she wore to the Emmy Awards in 2019.

2. The Chocolate Brown Giambattista Valli gown, with a theatric train and a voluminous skirt which she wore to the 2018 Oscars.

3. Hot pink two-piece outfit from Tom Ford with a metallic crop top and a floor length skirt which she wore to the 2020 Critics’ Choice Award.

As a child actor who started out at Nickelodeon, Zendaya has already had a long career in the entertainment industry. However, if we follow her style and fashion choices through the early 2000s, we can observe that her journey in fashion, like any other celebrity, has not been exempt from some faux pas. She has indeed come a long way.

A lot of this credit goes to her stylist, Roach, which Zendaya makes clear by acknowledging his importance in her career, especially in fashion, every chance she gets. The bond seems to be strong, and the partnership seems to be working fine for both of us.

Zendaya’s knack for creativity and an unfettered choice in fashion has established her as a fashion/global icon at the young age of 27. Her impeccable taste in style, along with her ability to experiment and take risks with different ideas and designs, contribute to her iconic looks.

While clothes, accessories, and makeup do add a materialistic advantage to Zendaya’s already conventionally perfect features, the confidence she emits as she walks along the carpet truly makes her a woman of magnetic presence.

Everything You Need to Know about Taylor Russell’s Dating Life and Boyfriend

Taylor Russell is a talented Canadian actress who has already marked her name in the entertainment industry. She is well-known for her portrayal of Judy Robinson in the Netflix show Lost in Space (2018-21).

Other than that, she is also well-known for her performances in Falling Skies (2015), Waves (2019), Escape Room (2019), Words on Bathroom Walls (2020), and Escape Room 2 (2021).

As the professional life of the actress is no secret, what the people are more invested in is knowing other less-known facts about her. And, one of that is her love life details.

Who Is Taylor Russell Dating?

The present relationship status of the Vancouver, British Columbia native actress is unknown. It seems like Russell is currently single and giving more of her focus towards her career.

The possibility of her being single comes after going through various reports from different online news outlets that state the same. To this date, the actress has not opened up on anything about her personal life.

Additionally, she also hasn’t given any hint on whom she might be dating via her social media handles. She has only shared limited pictures mostly of/alongside her friends and families, and images related to her profession.

However, if that’s not the case and if she does have a boyfriend, then Russell has done an incredible job in keeping her relationship a secret, away from the eyes of the public as well as the paparazzi.

Taylor Russel’s Relationship with Lucas Hedges

In the 2019 movie, Waves, Russell played the role of Emily Williams. Accompanying her in the male lead role was actor Lucas Hedges who portrayed the role of Luke.

The American romance-drama movie’s plot revolved around modern family issues and relationships. Its synopsis is “Traces the journey of a suburban family – led by a well-intentioned but domineering father – as they navigate love, forgiveness, and coming together in the aftermath of a loss.”

In the movie, Hedges’ character was shown as Russell’s love interest. Due to their amazing chemistry in the movie, many viewers believed that they were dating each other in real life.

However, all of the speculations were wrong as they weren’t in a relationship. Russell and Hedges were only friends and talented actors who portrayed their characters very well. Although the rumors were wrong, the one thing it proved was how amazing performers Russell and Hedges are.

Quick Look Into Russell’s Bio

Hailing from the suburbs of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Russell was born in 1994. She celebrates her birthday on the 18th of July every year, making her 27 years of age.

As per her date of birth, her zodiac sign is Cancer. She stands at an average height of 5 feet 4½ inches or 1.64 meters.

Born as Taylor Russell McKenzie, she is the daughter of a Black father and a White mother. Due to that, she has mixed-race. Apart from her parents, it is reported that she has two brothers.

While one of her brother’s names is Mason, the other one’s is undisclosed. Additionally, the details of her parents are also not disclosed.

Initially, she was raised by her parents in Vancouver, but later they settled down in Toronto, where Russell spent most of her childhood and teenage years.

Did Sydney Sweeney Undergo Plastic Surgery? Truth Behind The Rumors

Sydney Sweeney is a talented American actress who came to the height of her career after portraying the role of Cassie Howard in HBO Max’s critically acclaimed drama Euphoria. She has been playing the role since the show’s initiation in 2020.

She gave an amazing performance and allured the audience through her portrayal of a teenage character in the show. Cassie in Euphoria has a lot of sexual shenanigans and goes through a lot of relationship trauma.

Speaking more about the show, it deals with different sets of grief, emotional drama, drugs, sex, sexuality, and violence. It also has a lot of nudity, and some prying eyes were keen enough to notice Sweeney’s physical appearance.

And for someone as beautiful and charming as her, the internet was forced to ask some tough questions. Two of them were: “Are Sydney Sweeney’s boobs real?” and “Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts real?” Here is what we know!

Does Sydney Sweeney have a breast implant?

One of the other reasons the topic of Sweeney possibly having a boob job started gaining hype was when she became an ambassador for Rihanna‘s Savage x Fenty underwear line.

She became an ambassador on June 22, 2020. On the same day, she announced the news via Instagram by sharing a picture of herself donning an outfit from the underwear line.

Following that, she shared more pictures to advertise more of her involvement in the underwear line. And those pictures also showed her physical beauty, including her breasts.

So, coming back to the topic: Does Sweeney have a breast implant? Did she undergo a boob job?

The answer to that question remains unknown to this date. Similarly, Sweeney hasn’t confirmed or denied these speculations. Again, however, it’s highly unlikely that she has a breast implant.

Sydney Sweeney believes the media’s biggest misconception about her is her boobs and hair

In October 2021, The White Lotus actress was featured on the cover of Wonderland Magazine’s Fall 2021 Issue.

In her feature, she candidly talked about several things. First, she was asked what the biggest misconception about her in the media was at one point.

At first, she didn’t exactly say it as she was on an 18-hour road trip with her father, Scott Sweeney. “I’m trying to work out how to word it because I know exactly what I want to say, but I’m sitting in the car with my dad right now,” she laughingly said.

But, after that, she mustered the courage and said, “Okay, it’s that I have big boobs, I’m blonde, and that’s all I have.”

In the same interview, she had also talked about pursuing a career in other fields of the entertainment industry while also being an actress. Some of the areas she was interested in exploring were writing, directing, or entertainment law.

Sydney Sweeney is proud of her work in ‘Euphoria’

In June 2019, Sweeney, whose height is 5 feet 3½ inches (1.61 meters), shared a lot of insight on her works in Euphoria during a conversation with HuffPost in a Build Series interview.

She first mentioned that she was initially nervous and hesitant when it was time to shoot her nude scenes. She even had a long conversation with her mother, Lisa Mudd Sweeney, on the same topic.

However, she eventually did the job and told HuffPost that she was very proud of her work on a project that wasn’t afraid to go to that limit to tell the stories truthfully. “The thing about the nudity in this show is that it’s not glamorized. It’s not, ‘Oh, here’s a pair of tits.’ It’s just real.”

“I had to look at the whole picture of the entirety of the show, and I just fell in love with the rawness and the situations and the emotions that all these characters go through.”

She continued, “I always tend to find things that scare me and there hasn’t been a TV show that has really represented a real look at growing up today, and I wanted to be a part of something like that.”

Furthermore, she stated that she fell in love with the arc of her character Cassie. She said, “If many people would read the page, you’d see the stereotypical blonde, sexual, popular, teenage girl. But really, there’s so many layers to her and she’s gone through so much.”

Has Sydney Sweeney done plastic surgery?

Another raising question among the public is if the 24-year-old Spokane, Washington native has gone through plastic surgery.

The plastic surgery talks were initiated after fans saw some differences in Sweeney’s before and after pictures. The notable changes that fans noticed were: 1) Loss of facial fat. 2) A subtle facelift. 3) Little change in her nose, possibly due to a nose job.

So, how true are all of these speculations? Did the actress go under the knives to enhance her beauty? Or are all of these talks just speculation?

The answer to all of these questions is still unknown. Sweeney hasn’t talked about going through plastic surgery, and without an official confirmation, nothing much could be said about it.

Thus, this gossip remains limited to rumors only – just like the talks of her having a boob job. Nonetheless, given how deadly plastic surgery or a boob job can prove to be, it doesn’t seem like Sweeney would take such a high risk.

It could only be said that she glamours her fans with her natural looks, which is enough. Furthermore, on Euphoria, her character looks even more appealing due to the incredible art of makeup.
