Guess who I saw at TIFF (twice!)???
CLIVE FREAKING OWEN!!!
So here's the story. I went down to the Elgin Theater, in hopes of seeing him when he arrived, but all I got was a glimpse of his head. Since that didn't work out, I decided I would go to the stage door and wait for him to come out after the premiere. He did, and was absolutely gorgeous and was signing things for everyone. I called out and asked if I could get a photo with him. He said YES. I was so excited until one of the volunteers literally pushed me out of the way, said that Clive was "too busy and had other things to do" and then practically pushed him into his waiting car. I was so fucking pissed. He was right there! I guess I'm lucky to have seen him in person, but it still stings to have been cockblocked like that.
That's the little boy who plays his son in the movie. He's absolutely adorable and was so happy to be getting attention.
There's Clive in the background and the director, Scott Hicks.
I also attended a taping of The Hour with George Stromboulopolos, where Clive was the guest. I got a couple of pics there as well.
Some highlights from the interview:

Some highlights from the interview:
- George asked him if he ever sees himself in the characters he plays. Clive said no, so George asked "That means you're nothing like Larry the Dermatologist from Closer?" Clive laughed and said " No, so don't worry, I won't start swearing or anything". George told him he could if he wanted to, because "it's Canada. No one cares". He didn't swear, for the record.
- George asked about his David Bowie obsession and whether it was true that Clive used to dye his hair to look like Bowie's. He said it was. George then asked what his favorite Bowie song was. Clive said he couldn't pick one because there are too many good ones.
- George had a hat with a bunch of stupid sentences in them and he made Clive read them outloud to see if Clive could make anything sound cool. It was hilarious. The first sentence was "I guess I have to face facts. I'm a 36 year old man who needs Depends". The second sentence was something like "There's one thing everyman should know...how to tenderize chicken!". The third one (and my absolute favorite) was "Sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much". Clive took one look at that one and started laughing and said "This is really cheesy".
