He's lined up for quite the eventful next twelve months with four new films set to be released in 2012, and Ewan McGregor kicked off the year by being featured in the January issue of GQ.

Along with posing for a suave Peggy Sirota shot spread, the 40-year-old chatted with the magazine about fatherhood, fantasies, and his future endeavors.

Seeing that he's a father of four, McGregor was asked if he gets overwhelmed with the juggling act of family and work, to which he replied, "I never feel battered by it. I wouldn't have it any other way."

As for what he'd be doing were he not a big screen star, the Scottish stud said, "I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something—that solitary existence."

"And then you come out," he added, "and you're back into the house with all the kids. That would be perfect."
