The early years of Clive Owen were fraught with struggle.
When Clive Owen was still a little boy, his parents went through a divorce. After his mother had another child, his new stepmother continued to be raised him until he was old enough to start school. Owen’s father, a country and western performer, deserted the family when Owen was just three years old.
Owen was 19 years old the last time he saw his father, and since then, the two of them haven’t had very many meaningful conversations. The best way to describe Owen’s childhood would be to use the word “rough,” and it’s not hard to understand why.
