Clive Owen as Ernest Hemingway in an HBO film: depressing or hot?

I was going to write about these Clive Owen photos yesterday, perhaps even see if our Clive had written us a dirty little love note, but I ended up punting on the story until today. Mostly because Clive Owen is just so… aimless lately. Like, I’m still hot for him, and he’s still a gorgeous, amazing man, but where has he been lately? These photos are from the Laureus Sports Awards two nights ago – Clive was the host of the London event. That’s what he does nowadays – he models, he gets paid to show up at events, he hosts sports awards shows. Clive used to be one of the most in-demand English actors out there. Why isn’t he getting more work? Why isn’t Clive making our biscuits tingle on the silver screen every six months?

Clive’s latest is an HBO film. There’s no shame in doing television, especially when it’s a big-budget HBO-style affair. Clive plays Ernest Hemingway in Hemingway & Gellhorn. Nicole Kidman and her jacked lips are playing one of Hemingway’s wives, Martha Gellhorn. Martha Gellhorn was a ballsy, groundbreaking female journalist and war correspondent. Nicole plays Gellhorn like a ditzy romantic heroine. Don’t believe me? HBO released a five minute trailer for the film, and while Clive looks interesting, Nicole looks HORRIBLE. And by horrible, I mean her lips look WORSE than Lindsay Lohan’s. It’s distracting. Plus, there’s a major tone problem. Here’s the trailer – it’s NSFW, by the way. There’s some nudity in there. Unfortunately, it’s not Clive.
