Ewan McGregor's daughter Clara bitten on face by dog before red carpet event

Ewan McGregor 's daughter Clara bravely faced the red carpet just minutes after being attacked by a dog.

The 25-year-old was set to appear at the premier of The Birthday Cake movie, which she co-produced, at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas when the incident happened.

Clara had to visit the Emergency Room only half an hour before the premier was due to start as she suffered nasty cuts on her face and nose.

Her injuries were clearly visible in red carpet photographs and she took to Instagram to tell her followers why she had bloody cuts on her face.

On her post she wrote: "When a dog bite lands you in the ER 30 mins before the red carpet thank you @themobmuseum for having us, @thebirthdaycakemovie comes out in theaters and on VOD June 18th! @pgdm @swindled717 @sienaoberman congratulations!! thank you @fendi for the suit."

'The Birthday Cake' will land in the UK on July 16, and stars Clara's father, Scots actor Ewan McGregor.

Clara, born in 1996, the year Trainspotting catapulted her dad to international fame, grew up ­visiting movie sets across the world but did not want to be in his shadow.

She and best friend Vera Bulder set up their own media production company.

Speaking previously, she said: “I definitely fought it for a while. I just didn’t want to do what my dad did, so I was, ‘I’m going to be a photographer. I’m going to be behind the camera.

“Then the acting bug got me and I had to stop denying myself that, just because my dad was doing it too.

“It was my life from when I was a very young kid. My mum, a production designer, had me under her arm for every film she was working on in ­London, and we used to travel with my dad wherever he would work.

“When I was growing up, if I ever brought up wanting to be an actor my parents were like, ‘Oh God. It’s really hard.’ They never sugar-coated that.

“My dad got lucky in his career. He’s very talented but it’s also down to luck. It’s incredibly hard to make it.

“Both my parents made it really clear to me, especially as a woman, that I should have a back-up plan, go to college and have something else I can fall back on.

“Now I’ve made it clear there’s nothing else I want to do, they are incredibly supportive.”
