With the new film Beginners, director Mike Mills creates a delightful and very personal love story. Ewan McGregor stars as Oliver, who navigates not only his father's final years (Hal, played by Christopher Plummer) but also a burgeoning love affair (with the effervescent Mélanie Laurent) in the company of his father's Jack Russell Terrier, Arthur—portrayed by the charming Cosmo. You've heard of on-set romances where the stars fall madly in love ... well, such was the case with McGregor and Cosmo. Though Cosmo was destined to return to his companion, animal trainer and guardian Mathilde De Cagny, this story has a happy ending: McGregor finds his own canine soul mate.
