Clive Owen doesn't want his daughters to ever see his film Closer, no matter how old they are.

The Sin City star played a misogynistic womaniser in the racy film, co-starring Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman, and wouldn't want his children with actress Sarah-Jane Fenton - Hannah, 15, and Eve, 13 - to see him like that.

"I don't care if they're 35, I don't want them to see that one," quotes the Daily Telegraph.

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old Children Of Men star has confessed he hates fame.

Clive complained to the Daily Mail's Live magazine: "I never wanted to be a movie star. And I didn't become an actor to become famous. I genuinely didn't. It was always theatre for me.

"Chancer (the 90s TV show in which he made his name) was a baptism of fire. It's very weird to go from obscurity to suddenly being in newspapers.

"When somebody is hot, everyone wants a piece of it. If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.

"I never think of meeting actors. I think of the times I've met footballers."

He added he felt starstuck meeting rock icon David Bowie.

Clive said: "I got very tongue-tied. It's like meeting somebody that you feel you've known for so long - it's difficult. I often think he inspired me to get into acting as much as any actor."
