Ewan McGregoris recalling clandestine trips to Disneyland — and its eagle-eyedStar Warsfans.
During a panel atMegaConin Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, the 52-year-old actor — who has played Obi-Wan Kenobi in a galaxy far, far away since 1999 — said he and wifeMary Elizabeth Winsteadhave gone undercover to visit the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge section.
While at the California theme park, “it was just me and Mary walking around — you know, with a cap on,” he recalled onstage.
McGregor added that the famous pair, who have been dating since 2017 and tied the knot in 2022, “went at night” incognito. For the most part, he said, they had “just about got away with it.”
But when the Emmy winner “caught a couple of people’s eye” who clearly noticed an iconic Jedi Master among the park’s attendees, he winked at them.
Reenacting such a wink for the MegaCon crowd, fans cheered the Scottish star.
