On hearing Hollywood’s premier screen siren Angelina Jolie describe him as “sexy”, actor Clive Owen says that he “fell over laughing”.

Maybe he shouldn’t laugh so hard, however – in 2007 he was named one of the “Sexiest Men Alive” by People magazine.

While playing Romeo in 1988, Owen fell for his Juliet, actress Sarah-Jane Fenton. They wed in 1995 and remain happily married. The couple have two daughters, Hannah and Eve.

It was after starring as the Artful Dodger in a school production of Oliver that Owen was bitten by the acting bug. He says his teachers were less than encouraging.

A David Bowie fanatic, Owen claims that as a youngster he used to dye his hair to match Bowie’s latest incarnation.

Previously in the top stream at school, when Owen joined Coventry’s Belgrade Youth Theatre at 13, his schoolwork started to suffer. Out of the nine O-levels he sat, he passed just one – English.

Before being accepted to study at prestigious London drama school RADA in 1984, Owen had spent the previous two years living on unemployment benefit.

In the original West End theatre production of Closer, Owen played Dan – Jude Law’s character in the critically-acclaimed movie that followed. Owen’s performance in the fi lm, as the more sinister character of Larry, became one of his best-known.

Owen’s 1998 fi lm Croupier failed to hold the attention of British audiences but was a box-offi ce hit in the USA.
