Clive Owen is 48 years old & sideburn-y in Paris: could Clive still get it? (CELENEWS)

I will never stop talking about Clive Owen, even if he isn’t in my current Forever Dong rotation. My current rotation is: Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon (has anyone else been watching The Following?!?) and Michael Fassbender. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good, dirty fantasy about Clive. It’s been even longer since he wrote me a dirty letter! But even in his absence… Clive could still get it, right? He’s 48 years old, by the way. Aging like a fine wine.

Anyway, these are new photos of Clive at the Paris premiere of his film Shadow Dancer. I believe we had photos of London premiere last year, so I guess this film is coming out in not-so-steady drips. Maybe they’re having distribution problems. Clive looks good, right? He always wears the hell out of a suit, his hair looks decent, and I’m enchanted by his late-in-life sideburns. He still knows how to eye-f—k a camera too.

Clive Owen - Clive Owen's Childhood Fears Over Terrorist Attacks 18 August 2012 14:02 (contact music)

British actor Clive Owen grew up fearing he'd fall victim to a terrorist attack after seeing horrific news reports of conflict in Northern Ireland.

The Sin City star, who grew up in Coventry, England, became terrified he would be embroiled in an attack by the Irish Republican Army (Ira).

Owen, whose new espionage thriller Shadow Dancer is set in Belfast, Northern Ireland during the height of the Troubles, once lived in the city when he was starring in a local play.

He tells Britain's Independent newspaper, "I grew up with it being part of our lives and every night hearing some report on the news about the Troubles. (It was) rough... It was a war zone.

Clive Owen won't let daughters see Closer (THE PRESS ASSOCIATION)

Clive Owen doesn't want his daughters to ever see his film Closer, no matter how old they are.

The Sin City star played a misogynistic womaniser in the racy film, co-starring Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman, and wouldn't want his children with actress Sarah-Jane Fenton - Hannah, 15, and Eve, 13 - to see him like that.

"I don't care if they're 35, I don't want them to see that one," quotes the Daily Telegraph.

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old Children Of Men star has confessed he hates fame.

Clive complained to the Daily Mail's Live magazine: "I never wanted to be a movie star. And I didn't become an actor to become famous. I genuinely didn't. It was always theatre for me.

"Chancer (the 90s TV show in which he made his name) was a baptism of fire. It's very weird to go from obscurity to suddenly being in newspapers.

WHEN fame first came knocking for Clive Owen, he was ill-prepared for the unwanted attention it brought to his private life. This time round, the laid-back star is taking it in his stride

There’s something very reassuring about Clive Owen. Such is the aura of quiet confidence he carries, you can imagine him being very calm in a crisis, unflappable even. It’s just after 2pm when he arrives in the hotel room for interview, dressed in a navy suit and white shirt, unbuttoned to reveal a silver chain nestling around his neck. He has a pot of tea delivered. And he speaks in such a warm baritone voice, you can’t help but be instantly soothed. Ridiculously, ruggedly handsome, his features make a mockery of the fact he turns 48 in October.

Owen also seems remarkably together for a man who has glided in and out of Hollywood with ease, in films like Sin City, The Bourne Identity and King Arthur (in which he played the round-table legend). Owen doesn’t really do scandal, doesn’t do tittle-tattle and doesn’t seem to carry an inflated idea of his own image. The Times called him “the first male movie star this country has produced since Cary Grant” (with, presumably, apologies to Jude Law). Others have pegged him as a pin-up. “If I went around thinking I was a sex symbol,” Owen purrs, “I’d be on very dodgy ground.”

It took Julia Roberts to nail it, though. The two starred in Closer, Mike Nichols’ searing take on Patrick Marber’s play of sexual misadventure, before reuniting for espionage romance Duplicity. “George Clooney is obsessed with Clive,” she explained. “Every good-guy actor talks about Clive as one of their favourites. Because he’s English, because his successes have stood on the shoulders of his talents alone, and because he hasn’t been carried away by popular culture.” Playing an arrogant version of himself on Ricky Gervais’s comedy show Extras is about as far as Owen has got when it comes to getting carried away by popular culture.

His latest film, Shadow Dancer, is arguably his best role since 2006’s apocalyptic Children of Men. Directed by James Marsh, who made the Oscar-winning documentary Man on Wire, it’s a taut drama based on true events. Set in 1990s Belfast, it tells the story of Colette McVeigh (Andrea Riseborough), an active member of the IRA who is forced to turn informant in order to protect her son. “I just think it’s a great predicament to start a movie with,” says Owen. “She’s given an option: you never see your kid again and spend a long time in prison, or you come and work for us.”

Clive Owen trapped in elevator 2 WENN.COM FIRST POSTED: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 10:49 AM ED (TORONTO SUN)

British actor Clive Owen cancelled a number of appointments at the Cannes Film Festival this week  after he was trapped in an elevator with his daughters.

The Sin City star attended the French movie event to promote his new film Hemingway & Gellhorn with co-star Nicole Kidman, but the trip took a turn for the worse when he got stuck in a packed lift at the Hotel Majestic Barriere.

Owen was with his two young daughters Hannah and Eve and two people had fainted by the time they were freed, according to Britain's The Sun.

The actor then cancelled a number of press interviews so he could comfort his girls, who were upset by the ordeal.

Clive Owen On Playing Ernest Hemingway For HBO (HUFFINGTON POST)

The Huffington Post | By Alex Suskind


Clive Owen recently sat down with Moviefone to discuss his work in "Sin City," "Children of Men" and, his latest film, "Intruders." However, he also spent a few minutes talking about his upcoming TV role: playing Ernest Hemingway in the HBO special, "Hemingway and Gellhorn."

When it came to researching the late writer, Clive made sure no stone was left unturn.

So you are about to play Ernest Hemingwawy in HBO's "Hemingway and Gellhorn." Besides slugging whiskey and shooting bears, what sort of preparation did you do for the film? 
A lot, actually. I took months out and traveled a lot. I went to his house in Cuba. I went to Hemingway's Paris, Hemingway's Madrid, read everything . It was an amazing project. It was a wonderful script. Philip Kaufman is such a great director. And obviously [acting] with Nicole Kidman -- it was one of those rare [movies] that felt like a real gift.
