MCGREGOR PLAYS DOWN 'CANCER SCARE'

EWAN McGREGOR is playing down his recent 'cancer scare' - because his life was not in question.

Ewan McGregor at the Beverly Hilton, Los Angeles, California - 11.07.08

The Scottish actor attempted to deal with his basal cell carcinoma quietly, but word spread that McGregor was battling cancer. However, he hates the idea he's a survivor.

He 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."
