Clive Owen is handsome. Alright, we get it!

March 20, 2009 by Lance Carter

I hate reading articles that constantly refer to the actor or actress the writer is interviewing as “handsome”, “beautiful” or “gorgeous”. We already know they are all that, that’s why they are wildly popular and headlining their own movie!

Anyway, in this article there was 4 references to how attractive Clive Owen is. In a 400 word article. So annoying!

End of the rant.

Clive Owen talks about working on his new film, working with Julia Roberts and the great script he worked with.

The dark and handsome Owen says he was impressed with the script, written in a rat-a-tat style reminiscent of 1940s screwball comedies. The writing, he says, has “great rhythm and wit.”

“It’s the best dialogue I’ve read in years,” says Owen. “I trained in the theater, and the opportunity to say great dialogue on film doesn’t come around as often as you’d like.”

To prepare for “Duplicity,” he watched classic films like “His Girl Friday,” starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. He likens his role to driving a posh car. “You’ve got to just sit in it and not mess it up,” he says in his clear low baritone. “You can’t be too clever with it or try and mess with the rhythm.”

The actor was thrilled when he heard Roberts would co-star as Claire. “Every scene I play with Julia was a great scene,” he says. “There was great joy and excitement about doing it.”
