Actually I didn't get noticed by his accent, what I cared about is he's good-looking and I love his performance with Jennifer Aniston in Derailed. (you know kids always care about the hot scenes Laughing )

If Torsten hadn't asked specifically about Clive's accent, I probably wouldn't have consciously noticed much of anything about it either. Laughing

But, now that the topic of his accent has been raised, I'm curious to hear what his British accent sounds like. So, now I'm planning to try to find one or two of his movies in which he doesn't speak with his American accent.

To round this up, I've only ever heard/seen Clive Owen in 'movies', so I thought he was American. In the interview he has got a pretty educated, general southern English accent. Definitely better than my own teacher's accent in class.

When I was in high school, there was an even more amazing accent phenomenon: Bo Svenson. A Swedish actor with an American accent -- very amazing, even if he did come to the US when he was 17.

I wish I was him, he has a sexy voice and a attractive face. Who's his wife?
