SCOTS actor Ewan McGregor has given his backing to a new charity campaign.

He is supporting the IKEA Soft Toy Campaign, which raises money for UNICEF and Save The Children.

This year, UK IKEA stores will donate £1 for every soft toy purchased until December 23.

The money raised will be split between the charities to support ongoing projects and launch new projects in 14 countries.

Ewan said: “As a UNICEF Ambassador, I have seen first-hand the vital work they are doing for children.

“Today you have the chance to help UNICEF and Save the Children make a difference to thousands of children’s lives all over the world by simply buying a soft toy.”

Ewan attended the Outfest 2008 Legacy Awards at the Directors Guild of America on September 24, 2008 in West Hollywood, California:

Actor Ewan McGregor attempted to deal with his recent basal cell carcinoma diagnosis quietly, but word quickly got out to the media that he was battling full-blown cancer.

The Scottish actor, known for his roles in the Star Wars series, Black Hawk Down, Trainspotting and Moulin Rouge, insists that although cancer is a horrible, deadly disease, his case was mild and he should not be considered a “survivor” like others.

McGregor says, “It is scary when you hear you’ve got cancer. I quickly discovered it’s a very common and treatable condition. I would hate to say I had a cancer scare, because it’s not fair to people who really have cancer scares. In my case, my mortality wasn’t called into question.”

Basal cell carcinoma, the type of cancer McGregor was diagnosed with, is the most common form of skin cancer. It is rarely life-threatening and almost never spreads, but if left untreated, can be disfiguring (especially to the eye, ear, nose and lip regions) and cause massive bleeding.

McGregor has been in production on several films, including I Love You Phillip Morris, co-starring Jim Carrey, and The Da Vinci Code sequel, Angels & Demons.

We wish him a healthy and speedy recovery!
