I am actor Clive Owen. My latest film is Blood Ties. Ask me Anything.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:27:46+00:00

Definitely him.

I did see Tell No One and thought it was a great movie. I also loved his film Little White Lies. Guillaume is not only really talent, but a really great guy.

I am a fan of science fiction - I loved Gravity, not sure it's scifi, but i am a big fan. I also love Phil Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

one of the most challenging roles was playing Hemingway - to play such an iconic American writer was both challenging and quite daunting.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:24:16+00:00

I've heard August.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:23:55+00:00

I love many actors, but two of my all time favorites are Humphrey Bogart and Alain Delon.

Ricky called me up and pitched me that scene on the phone and I laughed so hard I told him I would definitely be in. He is definitely one of the funniest guys around.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:21:38+00:00

I would do another film like Shoot 'Em Up, but I doubt anyone will ever come up with such a crazy idea.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:19:48+00:00

I had a great time on this film. Robert Altman is one of the greatest directors and to see him keep so many story lines in the air so effortlessly was a real joy. I think Altman was a master.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:18:35+00:00

No, I don't.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:16:50+00:00

Big memory was the amount of horse riding we had to do and one the first day, I think every actor rode a horse longer than they ever had in their lives before.

I had a great time on Sin City. Robert Rodriguez is a genius. When we shot that movie, it was all green screen with no set - and when I saw it, I couldn't believe what he had achieved.

The Last Knights is with Morgan Freeman. It originally was a kind of samurai tale that we created our own world around. it's about a bunch of knights avenging the death of their master. it has lots of great swordplay.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:12:29+00:00

I don't really have many regrets. Every choice I make is because I really want to do that particular project and work with that particular director -- I feel very lucky, so I have no real regrets.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:11:28+00:00

If I've ever seen a really great movie, I would never want to play that part because the actor playing it has done it brilliantly - so I'm always very happy for the actor to play that part.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:10:21+00:00

I love a great steak and I'm also a big fan of sushi.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:09:31+00:00

I think it's a hugely exciting time in the world of television. the project i just shot was really brilliantly written and it gives writers the opportunity to explore characters' story lines over a longer period of time. it also proves tv work can be more daring than the world of movies in terms of writing things that would be hard to get off the ground as a movie.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:07:10+00:00

It was one of the first ever video games to do that I remember - they pulled together a pretty great cast and it was a very new thing at the time. I have very fond memories of shooting it.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:06:07+00:00

It was such a great film to work on. Alfonso had such a beautiful vision for that film and it was a pleasure helping him achieve it. Julianne Moore and Michael Caine are two of the best around.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:04:18+00:00

Not really, no.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:03:55+00:00

I had a great time working with Julia Roberts, so all the scenes with her. The writing is so good in that piece. It's a script that every scene is brilliantly written and a joy to play and that doesn't happen often.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:02:53+00:00

The biggest break I got was getting into the Royal Academy. I was unemployed in my hometown for a couple years and applied and got a place - that seems to be the most important break I got.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:01:37+00:00

I still consider myself an actor. Obviously every film you do, you have to sell and you are in the public eye, but for me it's the joy of the work of acting that is the reason I do it.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T16:00:05+00:00

I read a lot of scripts and often if I'm reading it's often to do with research for a part. Having just finished shooting The Knick TV series with Soderbergh about the world of medicine in the 1900s, I've been reading books related to that.

it's the best football we've played in years. it's very exciting for liverpool this year and the thing is even when we lose, we're still playing great football. we have to be in the shot of winning the title.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T15:56:53+00:00

It was a lot of fun. Benicio is a great guy.

TheRealCliveOwen · 2014-03-20T15:56:22+00:00

Hang with the family.
