Ewan’s Food Fetish

Just in case you're wondering what a girl's got to do to get noticed by Hollywood, British actress Emily Mortimer thinks she's got it worked out. The actress is currently creating a storm of critical approval in the States over her performance in Lovely & Amazing in which she stands naked in front of her boyfriend demanding a nuts and bolts critique of her body. 'I thought, 'This is what I'm meant to be like,' she tells Empire magazine this month. 'I am in the moment. At last, Fucking hell I'm a proper actress.' Clearly the whole naked thing didn't bother Mortimer, because she's at it again in her next role as Ewan McGregor's girlfriend in the upcoming Young Adam. And this time, there's a bit of a foodie theme going on. 'He covered me in custard, tomato ketchup, brown sauce, a bag of sugar and a pot of ink,' she tells Empire, 'and you can't tell whether I'm enjoying it or not. It's all very dubious.'
