Clive Owen on the hunt for a family film

Closer star Clive Owen is desperate to make a family-friendly film - because he refuses to let his children watch anything he has been in.

Closer star Clive Owen is desperate to make a family-friendly film - because he refuses to let his children watch anything he has been in.

Whether it's Julia Roberts' foul-mouthed husband in Closer, a seedy casino employee in Croupier, a cheating husband in Derailed or a bank robber in his new film Inside Man, Owen fears his films are too violent or sexual for his kids to see.

But he's impatient for them to watch their dad on film soon.

He says: "My children aren't allowed to see any of my movies; they're nine and six.

"I would like to do a family movie for the kids because they can't see much of what I do and it would be nice to do one for them."
