The Moulin Rouge star recently confessed that he finds it awkward to film sex scenes now that he is 40 years old.
"I don't like them very much," McGregor said on The Graham Norton Show. "They are awkward because it is a strange and bizarre thing to be doing. It's not a normal situation, I am 40 now, and the actresses get younger and younger."
The actor went on to state that he only enjoys doing a sex scene provided it has a place in the film he is shooting.
"I don't like gratuitous, Hollywood type, sweaty sex scenes - they are embarrassing to watch and to do," McGregor said.
In the same interview, McGregor opened up about the time a film crew 'left him' to continue a sex scene with Christian Bale, stating that the two actors did not hear the crew call "cut" and thus simulated sex when they did not need to.
It was reported last week that McGregor had adopted another baby girl with his wife Eve Mavrakis.
