Speaking with PEOPLE following the release of Netflix’sScott Pilgrim Takes Off, actressMary Elizabeth Winstead— who voices Ramona in the new show and played the live-action version in 2010’sScott Pilgrim vs. the World— revealed a hilarious wardrobe item her husband whips out from time to time, to her amusement.
“He has this shirt that he’ll break out every now and then and just wear that always makes me smile and laugh, which has a photo of me as Ramona Flowers and it says, ‘I’m in lesbians with her,’ " says Winstead, 39.
In the 2010 film, Winstead’s character is the main love interest ofMichael Cera’s titular Scott, who believes the “L-word” means “lesbians” and, near the end of the movie, tells Ramona, “I’m in lesbians with you.”
Winstead adds of McGregor with a laugh, “Sometimes when we’re out and about, he’ll take off his sweater and that’s the shirt he’s wearing. It makes me so happy.”
