Clive Owen was seen leaving a private party at the Club Touch in New York last night. He has been busy promoting his new movie, The International, which comes out tomorrow (along with a bunch of other good movies), and decided he wanted some fun. He plays an Interpol agent taking on an evil banking conglomerate attempting to take over the world. So sexy and complicated!

Clive recently sat down with Parade magazine and told them all about being a sex symbol and the way his family treats him. Here are the highlights.

On thinking he’s not a sex symbol: Any actor who starts taking ‘sex symbol’ seriously or thinks of themselves as a sex symbol has got some serious problems. When I’m in my normal life I care very little about how I look. Sometimes I have to dress up when I’m making movies, but that’s not me when I’m just hanging around.

On not being a movie star at home: My family is hugely important to me and the most centering thing in my life. I go off and make movies, but there’s nothing better than going home and hanging with my girls. They completely boss me. I have no power in my house whatsoever. I am the geek of my household. I am so low-status in my house, you wouldn’t believe it, definitely not a movie star.

On what he would have done if he wasn’t an actor: I’ve only ever wanted to do this and I’ve never thought about doing anything else. The idea of doing anything else terrifies me. That’s a scary proposition. If anyone took acting away and said, ‘What could you do, what would you do?’ I’d be lost.

Clive seems like he is so down-to-earth and humble about who he is. That makes him even sexier I am sure.
