I don't know if every girl's crazy for a sharp-dressed Clive Owen, but I sure am. The British actor was spotted on the set of the thriller 'Duplicity' in New York City on Sunday.
The film, which co-stars the perpetually down-in-the-dumps Julia Roberts is about halfway done shooting in the Big Apple.
In a recent Q&A session that took place during the Tribeca Film Festival, Clive said of the film, the second feature from 'Michael Clayton' director Tony Gilroy, 'I read the script and thought it was brilliant. I'd met Tony already, and he screened 'Michael Clayton' for me. Obviously, when I saw that, it was a no-brainer.'
Clive admitted that he didn't have a wish list of directors he wanted to work with because, 'To be honest with you, the level of people I've been working with in the last few years...I'm not wanting for anything. People like Spike Lee and Alfonso [Cuaron] and Tony Gilroy...I don't need anything more than that at the moment.'
So, has every role been a no-brainer for Clive? He says about his process for choosing roles, 'The times you say no are as important as the times you say yes.' When asked if he had made some mistakes in his choices, he said, 'I've never, ever regretted it' but then added, 'I have said yes to some things I wish I had not.'
In looking at his resume, the only thing I could find that I think he probably should have said 'no' to was his uncredited role in the unwatchable 'The Pink Panther.'
