During Fan Expo Chicago, Ewan McGregor recalled a memorable incident that happened on the set of “Attack of the Clones.”

The “Moulin Rouge” actor shared during a panel how stuntman Nash Edgerton managed to get injured in the scene where Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by Ewan McGregor, faces Jango Fett on the planet Kamino.

The incident occurred on the very day the stuntman’s mother was visiting the set.

“I had to do a big backflip, and he fell and broke his teeth! And he was so aware that his mom was there that he just said: ‘I’m fine, mom!’” the actor recalled.

Ewan McGregor told the audience that someone took Edgerton’s mother away from the bloody scene “to have a cup of tea,” since, according to the actor, her son “wasn’t doing very well.”

“He really got hurt,” McGregor said, adding that despite the accident, Edgerton is fine now. “He’s got beautiful teeth,” joked the “Trainspotting” star.

During Fan Expo Chicago, Ewan McGregor created an iconic moment on stage when he joined fellow cast member Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader) for a lightsaber battle.
