‘Right from the start of the story, she comes careering into his life in the piazza and sweeps him off his feet,’ he said.
‘It’s vast and real, it makes the acting feel all the more real because we feel like we’re there.’
The actor stars as lead character Count Alexander Rostov while Mary, 39, will feature as his love interest, Anna Urbanova.
A Gentleman In Moscow tells the story of a Russian aristocrat who is spared from death and placed on house arrest while the Bolshevik Revolution plays out before him.
The couple have been together since 2017 after meeting on the set of TV comedy crime drama Fargo.

Discussing first working together Ewan said: ‘We didn’t know each other very well on Fargo but we click really well as actors.’
The actor recently revealed he is scaling back his acting career to spend more time at home with his new wife and son.
Ewan said he is ‘very much in love’ with Mary and their two-year-old son Laurie and doesn’t want to spend long periods of time away from them.
He married Mary in April 2022 in a low-key ceremony near their home in Los Angeles.
McGregor also has four daughters with ex-wife Eve Mavrakis. They split up in 2017 after 22 years of marriage and their divorce was finalised in August 2020.
