Ewan McGregor uses ''every piece of technology available'' to keep in touch with his family while he is working.
The 41-year-old actor hates being separated from his wife Eve Mavrakis and four daughters, Clara, 15, Esther Rose, 11, and adopted Jamiyan, 11, and Anouk, two, but says inventions such as Skype and iChat help him to see what they are getting up to on a daily basis without him.
