Clive Owen's dad desperate to end feud

British actor Clive Owen has been estranged from his father Jess Owen for 20 years after a bitter family feud drove them apart.

British actor Clive Owen has been estranged from his father Jess Owen for 20 years after a bitter family feud drove them apart.

Last week the 40-year-old British heart-throb picked up a Golden Globe award for his role in hit movie Closer - which prompted his 69-year-old dad to try again to get in touch before he dies.

However after several failed attempts to heal the rift, Jess' contact with his successful son is still restricted to the big screen.

Jess says: "I would have loved to have been there to see him pick up the award but sadly I haven't heard from Clive for years.

"There's not much I can do if he doesn't want to see me. It's very sad. I only hope that one day he will call me."
