Clive Owen’s daughters think he’s a bad dresser

Clive Owen and Julia Roberts are still promoting Duplicity. They’ve been promoting it for what feels like two months. It’s sort of reminiscent of Tom Cruise’s neverending Valkyrie press tour (which I think he’s still on, by the way). Duplicity comes out this weekend in America, and they just held the New York premiere Monday night. Clive Owen stopped and talked to OK! about the film and his life.

A lot of the quotes are the same kind of stuff he’s said before. Unfortunately, he doesn’t go into any more detail about his hot David Bowie obsession, or how Geroge Clooney is obsessed with him. Too bad. But Clive does reveal that his daughters think that he’s so utterly uncool. OK! has more:

Just because Clive Owen is a movie star doesn’t mean his family treats him like a king 24/7.

“Whenever I’ve done a movie and been away from home, I tend to take considerable downtime, and then we lead as normal of a life as we can,” the actor, 46, who has been married to wife Sarah-Jane Fenton since 1995, tells OK! at last night’s NYC premiere of his new film Duplicity, co-starring Julia Roberts “I take the kids to school, Sarah-Jane and I hang out, go out in the evenings and do all the things you’d expect.”

His daughters, Hannah, 12, and Eve, 9, like to make sure dear ol’ dad doesn’t let his ego get too big.

“They send me texts like ‘Don’t wear the velvet jacket because it’s weird and embarrassing.’ They make me too self-conscious now, like ‘Oh, I’ve gotta go and get changed in the dark.’”

Wait, they don’t think he’s rugged and cool?

“They definitely don’t think that, no. They know me better than that.”

Despite the ribbing he gets from his kids, Clive enjoys taking them to the movies.

“I’ve literally seen every kids’ movie for the last eight years I think,” he says.

It’s weird to think that Clive’s daughters wouldn’t think he’s well-dressed. He’s always well attired, as far as I’ve seen. But then again, I’ve never spied him in a velvet jacket, so maybe he does have some bad clothes in the old closet. Other than that, it just seems like normal kid stuff. His girls will get how cool their dad is when they’re older.

    Ahahaha, 😀 Nice to see their family is nice and normal. That’s rather typical, I think.

    He always speaks so lovingly of his wife and kids. I love that in a man.

    So everyone wants him out of his clothes – it’s a win win situation! 😀

    I dunno if his daughters will ever “get how cool their dad is”… they’ll always be his daughters as opposed to his fans who would take him any way, shape or form of clothing or without.

    Nice to see he has people keeping him grounded.

    Bono’s daughters think he’s embarrassing too. In his case they are right.
