Silent Actor Clive Owen
Clive Owen would rather be silent in his films.
The 'The Boys Are Back' actor claimed he was "interested in what you can express without saying too much".
He added: "I'm one of those actors whose approach to every line is to ask, 'Do I have to say that?'."
The 44-year-old star, who has daughters Hannah and Eve with his wife Sarah Jane-Fenton, also admitted that his children are keen for him to do a more kid-friendly movie.

He said: "It was really beginning to get to them that they couldn't see my films. They'd ask: 'Why can't we watch it? We know it's a movie!'
"But the idea of them sitting down and watching 'Closer' or 'Shoot 'Em Up' is a big no-no. Now they are putting serious pressure on me to do a kids' film."
Clive also admitted that he took some time out from the movie business so that he didn't lose the opportunity to get to know his daughters.
He told The Scotsman: "There was a time when I was running round doing films back-to-back.
"I came to realise that I could end up at the point when I turned around and they'd be 16, and I'd have missed it all."
