Being an actor balancing a family and a career can be difficult. Just ask Clive Owen. Owen tries to spend as much time with as possible with his wife, Sarah-Jane Fenton, and two daughters, Hannah, 12, and Eve, 10 when he’s not shooting a film.

While promoting his new movie, The Boys Are Back, in which he plays a widowed father, Owen talked about how no matter how much time he spends with his family, it can still be hard.

He said: “No matter how much time I spend at home, there’s always this thing underneath – that there’s a possibility I might disappear again and do a movie.

“Whereas most fathers, even if they’re not around that much, there’s a regular routine.”

How difficult must that be for everyone involved? You need to work to support the family, but working keeps you from your wife and kids.  At least most filming doesn’t go for more than a few months at a time.
