Clive Owen Will Never Have an Affair

August 11th 2007 12:58 am

Picture from PEOPLE. Clive Owen is a loyal polygamous man.

Clive Owen can boast plenty of beautiful costars – from Angelina Jolie in Beyond Borders, Julia Roberts in Closer and Jennifer Aniston in Derailed to Monica Belluci in the upcoming Shoot ‘Em Up – but the married star says he’d never have an affair with a costar.

“I so value what I’ve got at home with my wife and kids that I’ve never f—-ed with that,” Owen, 42, tells Playboy in its September issue. “For me, that’s what it’s about.”

Owen – who has two daughters, Hannah and Eve, with wife Sarah-Jane Fenton – adds: “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.”

When it comes to making love onscreen, “Even sex scenes are very straightforward,” he says. “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.”

Not that his don’t-bed-the-costar rule was always in effect: the Briton says that first girl to win his heart was “a very lovely, beautiful girl, a local girl” with whom he acted at age 17.

He also met his wife while working with her onstage. “[She] was playing Juliet to my Romeo,” in a touring production of Shakespearean plays.

Never say never. It’s refreshing to hear a male celebrity making such an honourable statement but I reckon his insistence on being a polygamous would only invite more trouble to his charming arse. There will always be tonnes of women throwing themselves at Clive Owen and it’s really only a matter of time before he succumbs to these temptations.
