Owen denies Bond rumours
Croupier star Clive Owen insists he will not be the next James Bond.
He dismisses media stories that say he will be replacing Pierce Brosnan as “rumours”.
The 39-year-old low-key British actor says he pays no attention to the false stories because they would take up too much of his energy.
Owen says: "That's what they are – rumours. You read what I read. I won't even think about it unless it becomes real. I deal in facts. I had a phone call from the States two weeks ago saying, 'So you've signed to do two Bond movies. Congratulations.' It's all rumour. It's nothing to do with me.
"There's a lot of bulls*** in this game, and if you spend your time worrying about stuff that isn't true, you'll waste a lot of energy. It first happened a long time ago, and I think it was something to do with wearing a tux in Croupier and driving fast cars in BMW short films. That combination - inspired casting."
