Is Clive Owen poor?

Why is Clive Owen in a Jason Statham film? I always thought he had more integrity than to do a film just for the paycheque. I know DeNiro does this on a regular basis but I always thought Clive was above going for the straight-up cash grab. I guess he has bills like the rest of us.

Acting is a job, just like any other job.

Job can be passion for some people too.

If you're hungry, try a piece of your friend!

Few such people. Eating is usually a priority for most people.

He signed on because his character's mustache looked good on paper, and he thought that adding a mustachioed character to his acting portfolio would be a boon to his career.
