Falling in love with your co-star seems to go with the territory for film stars.
It happened to Ewan McGregor on the set of Beginners, his new film. But the star that caught his eye was somewhat different to the usual Hollwood babe…this one has fur all over its body, a waggy tail, and a very toothy grin and was, in fact, Cosmo the Jack Russell.
Having fallen for his furry friend, Ewan describes the tears, parting, and happy ending, that followed…
Comedy/drama Beginners co-stars Christopher Plummer, Mélanie Laurent, and Cosmo, a Jack Russell plucked by his trainer from a rescue shelter. McGregor plays Oliver, a dog-loving graphic artist whose world is turned around when his elderly father, played by Plummer, reveals that he has terminal cancer, and is gay.
Beginners premiers in the UK on 11 July 2011 and goes on general release on 22 July.
