Nice booboo!  Here is Clive Owen at a photocall for his new movie, “The International” in Berlin, 9/24

Clive Owen boasts a list of beautiful movie co-stars but insists he has never been tempted to cheat on his long-term partner. The star has appeared onscreen alongside Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, but claims he would never cheat on his partner of 12 years Sarah-Jane Fenton.

The father-of-two, who will appear alongside Hollywood beauty Monica Belluci in upcoming movie Shoot ‘Em Up, tells People.com. “I so value what I’ve got at home with my wife and kids that I’ve never f***ed with that. For me, that’s what it’s about. I’ve had some great times with actresses, but that’s in a movie. It’s a fun thing to do, but it’s not love. So I never have a problem with that.

“Even sex scenes are very straightforward. You’ve got things to accomplish, work to do. I find the thing to do in those situations is to just keep the atmosphere as light as possible.

“My relationship is everything to me. I’m often doing incredibly exciting plays and films, but that would mean nothing if I were floating around and didn’t have a solid family behind me. Sarah-Jane is an absolute diamond.”

On his down to earth wife, Sarah Jane:

“I have to drag Sarah-Jane to a premiere. Her ultimate present, which I bought her a few years ago, was a Volkswagen Caravan van. She’s into arts and crafts, and hanging with the kids, and going camping. She’s very unimpressed by what I do.”

On his equally un-impressed daughters:

“The girls have very high status in my house. I’m the git in the family. Every time I go away, [daughter] Hannah gives me what I call her Roger Moore face.”

On quitting smoking:

“I talked about it all through [my wife’s] pregnancy, but I didn’t do anything about it. I had smoked since I was f–king 14. I always used to say to myself, I’m going to die of lung cancer. That’s the choice I’m making. And then when Sarah-Jane was pregnant, I couldn’t think about anything else. I just had this image in my head of breathing smoke in a baby’s face. You just think about it going into their little lungs. And when Hannah was born, I stopped.”

He’s hot. (Okay, not so much in this picture…but you get my point)

Clive Owen’s wife is really NOT a … um, Hollywood wife.  (For lack of better words).  For a minute I thought she was a dude…she’s wearing a suit and everything!

Here he is with his wife (since 1995), fellow actress Sarah Jane Fenton at a party for “Derailed” back in January.

Here are pictures of Clive Owen from John P Midgley, in what his website claims is a “rare photoshoot”.
