Clive Owen Says David Bowie ‘Has More to Do With Me Being an Actor’ Than Anyone Else: ‘He Showed Me You Can Create Worlds’
At Karlovy Vary, Clive Owen discussed David Bowie's impact on his career and working with Steven Soderbergh.
“I went back to the theater recently to do a talk,” he tells Variety at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, where he received the President’s Award Saturday night.
