Wasn't sure if this belonged here or in the Beauty forum. Mods, please move if I chose wrong.

Clive Owen is new spokesman for Lancome

NEW YORK - Clive Owen will be the face in ads for Lancome's new men's grooming products, including a fragrance and anti-aging skin-care line.

Lancome chose Owen, who stars in Universal's "Children of Men," not because of his tall, dark and handsome look but because of his talent and work ethic, said Odile Roujol, general manager of Lancome International.

"The way he has built his career so far, privileging the quality of the director rather than the high-profile nature of a role, makes us feel very confident in the fact that if he chose to accept this collaboration with Lancome, then it truly means our partnership was meant to be," Roujol said Tuesday in a statement.

Owen, 42, was nominated for an Oscar for his role in 2004's "Closer." His screen credits also include "Gosford Park" and "The Bourne Identity."

The British actor joins a stable of other well-known faces in Lancome ads: Top models Daria Werbowy and Shalom Harlow are spokeswomen, and Uma Thurman and Isabella Rossellini previously appeared in ads.

Owen's ad campaigns for Hypnose Homme, a men's fragrance with top notes of mint and cardamom, and Lancome Men skin products will launch in the spring.

I think it is a very nice face. Loved him in Closer, don't remember him in the Bourne Identity. Hmm, may have to watch that again.

For a second my brain said Owen Wilson and I was like WHAT??!! eau du broken nose??

Then my remedial reading skills kicked in and I realized Clive Owen was a much better choice. Hooray Lancome and your new sexy, sexy man.

This is a snapshot of David Spade impersonating Owen Wilson on SNL, I can see the resemblance.

ew ew ew ew EW. It occurs to me that Owen Wilson would have PS just to look like that. More probably he's such a dickbrain that it started outpicturing on his nose.

**celeb_2006** · January 10th, 2007, 12:16 AM

Didn't he admit that he had some PS before (he just wouldn't say what he had done)?

Omigod! You guys are a laugh riot! *takes a deep breath*

I'm so glad it's that delicious Clive Owen rather than peckernose Owen Wilson.

**Voodoo Child** · January 10th, 2007, 06:33 AM

I don't find Clive to be appealing at all.

**greysfang** · January 10th, 2007, 09:10 AM

Clive Owen is uber hot and definitely on my celeb shag list.

**SunShine23** · January 10th, 2007, 10:50 AM

^^Clive Owen is very yummy

Chiming in. Yep, he should have been Bond, but Daniel Craig's doing all right with it. It's taken me awhile to warm up to Clive, but he's definitely looking hot these days.
