(What's this?)

CLIVE OWEN

Born on October 3, 1964, Clive is one of 5 boys. His parents are Pamela and Jess Owen. He was born in Coventry, Warwickshire, England. His father left them when he was three, and they have remained estranged since except for a brief reconciliation when Clive was 19. He describes his childhood as "rough".

Although he wasn't initially
interested, Clive ended up graduating from a drama school (in a class shared by Ralph Finnes and Jane Horrocks). He ended up winning a position at the Young Vic, where he performed in several Shakespeare plays, and where he met his wife, Sarah-Jane Fenton, who played opposite him in Romeo and Juliet.

Clive and Sarah have two daughters together, named Hannah and Eve.

Clive eventually got started into TV and Film, making his way onto North American screens with movies such as Gosford Park, The Bourne Identity, and King Arthur.

Clive has since starred in Derailed, Sin City, and Children of Men, among many others.

"The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. Corny, but that's what I believe. They're what connect us as human beings"
