Ewan taps his way to fitter look

Ewan McGregor has lost nearly 13 kilograms (28 pounds) during gruelling dance rehearsals for the forthcoming London production of Guys and Dolls.

The Scot - who plays gangster playboy Sky Masterson in the classic 1950s musical - is getting fitter than ever for his theatrical comeback.

He says: "I can eat like a horse but they have to keep taking the suits in. It's great."

McGregor stars in the production which opens in the West End's Piccadilly Theatre on June 1.
