Scottish movie star Ewan McGregor desperately needed a shower on his return from his latest cross-continental motorbike adventure - because he only had baby wipes to keep him clean.

Last year, the actor and pal Charley Boorman spent weeks trekking from Scotland to Cape Horn in Africa as part of TV series Long Way Down.

And McGregor admits he was too scared to take baths in crocodile-infested waters to keep clean.

He tells Outside magazine, "You lower your standard, but you get by. You always come across rivers (in Africa) but you don't want to jump into just any one, because there could be crocs. We also carried baby wipes. That's a handy way to keep clean."

Ironically, the Trainspotting actor features in the promotional campaigns for new scent Davidoff Adventure."
