LONDON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Scottish stage and screen actor Ewan McGregor is the face of Coty Inc.'s new Davidoff Adventure Fragrance, the company announced Tuesday.

Best known for his roles in the "Star Wars" prequels, "Moulin Rouge," "Trainspotting" and "Black Hawk Down," McGregor also took time out between film projects to embark a 20,000-mile motorcycle trip for the documentaries "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down," which revealed his adventurous real-life personality, the fragrance company noted.

The actor has signed on to do worldwide television and print ads for the new fragrance line.

"Ewan McGregor is a natural choice to represent Davidoff's new male fragrance. Not only is he one of the most talented actors of his generation, but he also has a charisma and an authenticity that will be very important for the new Davidoff Adventure fragrance," Francoise Mariez of Coty Prestige, said in a statement.
