Clive Owen in Venice versus Karl Urban in Madrid: who would you rather?

First, let me start off with a series of apologies. For one, the day after Labor Day is kind of dead, gossip-wise, thus I’m throwing together photos from two different events in which the only common denominator is “You probably want to bang these dudes.” I also need to apologize for the lack of “Letters From Clive Owen” lately. There are only so many times that Clive can dash off a dirty note to us, and honestly, Clive peaked when he was at the same event with Michael Fassbender last year. So let’s just do it straight-out this time – these are some new photos of Clive at the Venice Film Festival, looking kind of paunchy and bulgy. Would you hit it? Look at the bulge, think of his voice and then answer. I would totally let him bang me on a gondola.

And here are some other photos of Karl Urban from the Madrid photo call of something called “Dredd 3D” which sounds awful. I know Urban has a lot of fan-girls around these parts, mostly Trekkies who loved him JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot. He’s going to be in the sequel too! My favorite roles for Urban were The Bourne Supremacy (he played the Russian assassin) and Red (CIA dude trying to take out all of the old-timers). Oh, and I guess the Lord of the Rings people like him too because he was in the trilogy? I completely forgot about that. Anyway… just going by these photos alone… I think I might prefer Karl to Clive, given such narrow parameters.

    Take of those shades, Clive! Your eyes are your best feature.

    I wish I was getting banged by Clive in a gondola 🙁

    • renata says:

      sounds like one of the greatest pop songs not yet written — ‘I Want To Bang You In The Gondola’ 🙂 I might have to personally work on that…

      Clive, what happened? He looks too thin, kind of like a large head on a stick figure. 5, 6 years ago he was so pretty. Urban, not my style.

    • vviles says:

      Me too! Clive on the Gondola sounds dreamy 😉

  2. Eve says:

    Neither. Sadly, I’m not attracted to Clive Owen anymore (I blame all these bad movies he’s been making).

    Never found Karl Urban attractive.

  3. v says:

    Is it wrong that I remember Urban from Xena?… XD

    • Jess27 says:

      Nope… I remember him as the blond Cupid/Eros. And Caesar… I think I watched that too much.

      I vote Karl!

    • Camille (The original) says:

      Also: Shortland Street. But you’ll probably only remember that show if you’re from New Zealand (which is where Karl is from :)).

      As for the question, I’d have both! Yum.

  4. Luise says:

    Clive for sure.

  5. Amylu says:

    I’ll take Urban. Clive Owen has lost most of his appeal to me, sadly. He looks kind of goofy to me these days. Croupier Clive forever!

  6. Jen34 says:

    I’d take Pierce from the previous thread, over Clive any day. Sorry, Clive.

  7. Hautie says:

    Gotta say, Karl Urban could get it on any day that ends with a “y”. And twice on Sunday. 🙂

    But I base that all on him being in “Red”. I love a well groomed man in a well cut suit. *sigh*

  8. foozy says:

    karl urban any day!!!!!!!!!

  9. effy says:

    been a fan of clive for ages… i dunno about this other guy, cute though 😉

  10. jinni says:

    Karl looks like Billy Ray Cyrus with a snout for a nose. While Clive is one of a seemingly never ending line of unattractive, mushy faced men that the media keeps touting as ruggedly handsome (other examples are fellow Brit Daniel Craig and Jeremy Renner, both of which look like their faces are made of melting wax). So, that going to be a no for both.

    • yuya says:

      OMG! I never put two and two together before. You are absolutely right! All of these guys have mushy baby faces. Add Gerard Butler to mush face list as well. No wonder I don’t find any of them attractive, it’s because THEY AREN’T!

    • sunshine says:

      OMG YES! Thank you, all of those guys are U-G-L-Y and I have so much trouble figuring out how they are considered “hot” or leading men candidates. Daniel Craig looks like a foot, for goodness sakes and he’s BOND! It’s saying something when the only two men in Hollywood I think are hot are Pierce Brosnan and Joaquin Phoenix…get with it, Hollywood!

      Oh you forgot Shia(t) LeBouf, what kind of drugs are these people on when they put THAT hideous creature out as a leading man in anything? I know he’s not held up as handsome or anything but we still have to look at him….ugh. Weaselly little effer!

    • geekychick says:

      Can I add Potato Tatum there? I know he’s younger than the rest, but my God, he looks like any typical gym-crazed hothead that I see every day. I don’t get the fascination, as well as the other three you mentioned. 🙂
      Karl will always be Eomer (LoTR) to me, and I just can’t find Eomer unsexy, that fiery temper, that sword-fighting skills…and he’s admirer of curvy, dark Arwen! 🙂
      sorry, my geeky side can’t be stopped;)

  11. sunshine says:

    Meh, neither. Clive Owen is that guy whose name I can never remember. Every single time I see him in something I’m confused and feel like I should know who he is, but I just cannot remember him! Am I the only one? The other guy is ok looking but not my type, his nose is too small for his face IMO. But I generally only remember stars if they’re super famous or if they’re hot (and I don’t think most of them are).

    Oh I just KNOW I’m gonna get the other guy confused with Keith Urban. They don’t look alike but oh well lol.

  12. The Original Mia says:

    Karl. Any day, everyday, 365 days a year.

  13. jamie says:

    Karl Urban all the way.

  14. LucyOriginal says:

    Both?!

  15. seVen says:

    Karl – with out a doubt in my horny little mind.

  16. starhopper says:

    Karl Urban all the way – hotter in motion (and in person) than in photos, with charisma like whoa.

  17. Ginger says:

    His voice alone does it for me! Id bang clive

  18. Lady Lupton says:

    Karl, please.

  19. nooooooo... says:

    Clive always, though I reluctantly admit his most handsome days are behind him. But I do miss letters from Clive…

    I didn’t recognize Karl Urban’s name until I saw the picture and thought, “Ohhhh, Eomer!” In general I prefer my LOTR men in character, but hey, he’s kind of cute without a long wig. ; )

  20. Christina says:

    Clive used to be very, very hot. Now, not so much. He seems to have aged about a decade in the past two years.

    • belletristia says:

      It’s the nose. He’s prematurely getting “grandpa nose”. A sad day for all fangirls. Urban all the way.

  21. Bellydancer says:

    Damn you Kaiser you know I have been having fantasies of Karl since the Dredd previews have been coming on. I always liked him since LOTR but now seeing him as Dredd has reawoken my desires. I have thoughts of him pounding me into a pillow while screaming “I am the law” over and over again. Please don’t tell Michael Fassbender about this. I am not ready to let him go.

  22. INeedANap says:

    Karl Urban is sex on a stick! Thank you thank you thank you for this post.

  23. mia girl says:

    I would just rotate.

  24. Shelly says:

    Karl Urban

  25. Rachel says:

    Clive! He looks good here.

  26. T.I.M.R. says:

    karl anyday, anytime. He was AMAZING in “The Priest”, saw that movie over n over again.

  27. kityafey says:

    Both! I will take both. Clive’s Grandpa nose and all. He can bang me on a Gondola. Karl can bang me anywhere he wants.

    Clive is sex.

    Karl- Hottest role ever Comanche Moon. I loved him in Star Trek but I am not a Trekkie.

  28. I Choose Me says:

    @mia girl. I’m genuinely LMAO at “I would just rotate.”

  29. ToastedSkin says:

    Karl urban for sure.

  30. Stacia says:

    Clive is losing his looks…I’d go for Karl. I remember him waaaay back when he was in the Xena: Warrior Princess series…yummy!

  31. Dar Mavison says:

    I was about 4 feet away from Karl Urban last night (actually, at 3 this morning) after Dredd played at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the man is superfine. Friendly, funny, tall and sexy.

    And according to my friend who got her pic taken with him, he smells nice too. What more could a girl ask for?……
