5 Off My Head - 44, Meet Clive

.

A happy 44th birthday going out to Clive Owen today. Where has Clive gone, anyway? Did he take some time off or something? We haven't seen him since The Golden Dud Age - it'd be a shame if he were to pay the price for that flop whilst Miss Blanchett continues feted. But no, no worries, he's got five projects lined up for the next couple of years according to IMDb, so we'll be seeing plenty of him in the future.

But what of the past?
Here are my five favorite Clive Owen performances.

Max, Bent
"We have to move rocks."
Jack Manfred, Croupier
"I'm a Gemini, and Geminis don't believe in astrology."
Robert Parks, Gosford Park
"When was the last time you stabbed a corpse?"
Larry, Closer
"What does it taste like?"
Theo Faron, Children of Men
"Woke up, felt like shit. Went to work, felt like shit."
----------
Happy birthday, Clive!
I hope that, where ever you are, you're celebrating
in the appropriate birthday attire...

That was so awesome, haha.

Can't believe Clive is that perfect. I mean... he was born in my favorite month, in my favorite number (3).

He rocks :D
