Ewan McGregor was glad his face was covered by a helmet as helicopter crews filmed the end of his historic 20,000-mile (32,187-kilometre) round-the-world motorbike trek - because he was "crying like a baby".
The Scottish actor and pal Charley Boorman took over three months to cross Europe, Mongolia and Russia, before arriving in Alaska and biking down to New York.
And McGregor was so relieved as he completed the trip, he rode into New York sobbing.
He says: "A helicopter was flying level with us… a cameraman hanging out of its door, and I was gone.
"I burst into tears, crying like a baby, the tears rolling down my face and I blubbed into my helmet and pulled a V for victory sign to the helicopter swooping nearby."
