'The Impossible' actor has revealed he was in a panic about turning 40 in 2011, but has now calmed down and embraced his older and wiser self.

In an interview with Italian magazine IO Donna, he said: ''When I turned 40 I started worrying about my age and getting older, but now that I'm over that I'm content and relaxed with ageing... It's OK.''

The 41-year-old Scottish actor has four daughters, Clara, 15, Esther Rose, 11, and adopted Jamiyan, 11, and Anouk, two, with his wife Eve Mavrakis, and he has been following his parents example when it comes to raising them.

The 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen' star keeps his rules and morals for his kids simple and just wants them to know the difference between right and wrong.

He said: ''When it comes to my kids, there are few simple values I cherish, the same as my parents. What's wrong, what's right, kindness, a solid culture and good manners.''

The actor, who has been married to production designer Eve, 46, since 1995, isn't sure what the secret to a happy relationship is, but mused: ''There are no rules when it comes to marriage. Still being in love after all the years helps.''

Ewan McGregor talks about being naked on the Big Screen

Ewan McGregor tops just about every list going of actors who don't shy away from flashing the flesh for the odd naked scene. So when The Impossible star sat down (fully clothed, alas) with CBS Sunday Morning this week, it was only a matter of time before the topic of conversation turned to the Scot's renowned penchant for stripping down on camera.

And good news for fans of the erstwhile trou-dropper: The 41-year-old has no plans for cutting back when it comes to showing off his nude form. Clearly, the man takes his craft seriously.

"Being naked is something that happens in either end of the day for me, and if you're lucky, somewhere in the middle as well," he says on the show, airing this weekend. "And I don't understand why it's an issue.

"I don't take my clothes off in movies because I want to flash my body around. I took my clothes off for movies because I'm an actor."

And one who wants to show every, well, intimate aspect of a character. Even those rather exposing sides that other actors may shy away from. (Not Ewan, though, as evidenced by his frequently full-frontal body of work on display in Velvet Goldmine, Young Adam, The Ghost Writer, The Pillow Book, Trainspotting and...we're probably forgetting one or two.)

"I believe the movies that I make say something about the world and therefore they should reflect human instincts and natures and desires," he went on. "A big part of that for us is our sexual life and romantic life."

Ewan McGregor: 'The Impossible' AFI Fest Screening

Ewan McGregor looks dashing while arriving at the special screening of his upcoming movie The Impossible during the 2012 AFI Fest held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Sunday (November 4) in Hollywood.

The 41-year-old Scottish actor was joined on the red carpet by his director Juan Antonio Bayona. Ewan recently talked with the NY Times about his Impossible co-star Naomi Watts.

“There’s something very straightforward with Naomi. She doesn’t play any games,” Ewan shared. “From eight minutes into it she’s injured and in shock, and stays that way. I’ve seen it two and half times, and I still wonder how she managed to weave such variety and shade into something that could have been a one-note performance — fright and pain.”
