Clive Owen reportedly fell about laughing when Angelina Jolie told him
that he looked sexy in "Beyond Borders". This may have been news to the
actor who used to be a big fan of David Bowie and changed his hair color
every time the singer did. But the green-eyed, darkly handsome, very
British actor attracts women audiences to every film, including the very
scary "Derailed", his latest movie.
"Derailed", about a happily
married man who begins an affair with a beautiful, young woman he meets
on a train only to find out all may not be as it appears, is Owen 's
latest movie. The complicated character he plays in this film is the
kind of part that he prefers because he 'has never been interested in
playing good guys. I'm always attracted to dangerous characters. Those
roles are usually far more interesting and I hold no fears about doing
them...' (Clive Owen quoted at AllMoviePortal.com)
This film
caused controversy when Anniston claimed that she was covered in bruises
after her steamy, sex scenes with Owen, but Owen denies this. In an
article by Jack Ryan at The Post Chronicle website (November2, 2005)
Anniston reportedly said that she didn't mind, describing Owen as
'dreamy' to work with. He had nothing but praise for her, admiring her
courage in handling her divorce from Brad Pitt.
Owen who comes
from Coventry, England aimed to be an actor ever since playing the
Artful Dodger in a school play but. according to his biography on the
IMDB database, a teacher told him that: "You're a working-class boy from
Coventry. What do you know?"
His rise to fame after attending
the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art began with classical parts on the
stage and he joined the Young Vic Theatre Company where he met his wife,
Sarah Jane Fenton, who played Juliet to his Romeo. They now have two
daughters: Hannah and Eve. Although he'd had an extensive stage and film career
in England by his late 30's he was still little-known in America. His
big chance came in "Croupier", in which he played a struggling writer
working as a casino employee who is taken in by a female scam artist.
Robert Altman, impressed by the actor's performance, asked him to join
his all-star movie, "Gosford Park" and Owen's career has shot ahead ever
since with starring roles in "King Arthur" and "Closer".
Owen's
latest role is in the brilliant director Spike Lee's "Inside Man" in
which he plays a bank robber and hostage taker. His co-star is Jodie
Foster. Owen loved spending time in New York while the movie was
filmed, which he said in an article on the Star Pulse website (Starpulse
News Blog: 03/13/06) is "the
best city in the world and the capitol of the world...There's so much to
do and never enough time to do it." If it weren't for his daughters,
Owen would like to move to New York.
The gorgeous actor's career
appears to be going from success to success. His next role is likely to
be Essex alongside Cate Blanchett in a new movie about Queen Elizabeth
11 . This swashbuckling character who won the heart of the flame-haired,
young queen is likely to suit the actor who likes to play 'dangerous
roles'.
