Clive Owen's Love Affair With Madrid Began On Film Set (CONTACT MUSIC)

Movie star Clive Owen fell in love with Madrid's food and wine culture while he was shooting his new movie Intruders in the Spanish capital.

The British actor admits he now returns to the city whenever he can, just to satisfy his new-found appreciation of the best things in life. Owen tells BlogTalkRadio.com, "The food was fantastic. That was the biggest culture shock. I've been back to Madrid maybe eight times since finishing this film, and I have to be honest; it's primarily to eat!

"The food in that town is so good and the whole crew, they really knew how to live... All they wanted to talk about was food and wine all day - 'Where did you eat last night? What did you eat? What wine did you have with it?' They were all complete foodies, and I'm a bit of a foodie, so I loved working with a Spanish crew.

Clive Owen and his Burger King commercial in Spain (youtube) (Brand Channel)

Do not adjust your computer monitors — yes, that's British actor Clive Owen in an - ahem - cheesy spot for Burger King Spain, and not a celeb commercial spoof by Funny or Die. (Watch the spot's 'making of' below.) Other than appearing as "The Driver" in The Hire, the award-winning series of short films for Mercedes-Benz directed by Guy Ritchie and featuring his then-wife, Madonna, Owen isn't known for commercial endorsements.

Back in the U.S., Burger King is about to be unseated from its "perennial No. 2" position in the burger wars, the Wall Street Journal reports, with Wendy's poised to take over second spot in U.S. sales for 2011, following McDonald's. According to year-end projections by market research firm Technomic for the Journal, "Americans are expected to spend more than $175 billion at fast-food restaurants this year, up about 3% from 2010. Wendy's U.S. same-store sales are forecast to rise 1.1%, while Burger King's U.S. and Canada same-store sales will drop 3.9%."
