With another big budget film and a new role as a United Nations charity fundraiser in the works, it's no wonder Scottish actor Ewan McGregor is making the most of his down time.

Still sporting a beard grown during his recent round-the-world motorcycle trip, Ewan took a break with wife Eve, strolling the streets of Camden Town hand-in-hand. The low-key couple are clearly enjoying their time together now that Ewan's three-month travel odyssey has come to an end.

But it looks like the Star Wars hero will be back in action as soon as this autumn, taking on the lead in sci-fi flick The Island. In addition, Ewan is becoming an international children's champion for Unicef, and is expected to become a UN Goodwill Ambassador in October.

The father-of-two supported the charity during the motorbike journey, visiting projects in Kiev, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and is even said to be shaving his now-famous facial hair to raise funds for the cause. The news will come as a relief to wife Eve, who reportedly has said he must trim the beard because it scares their two daughters.
