QOTD: Clive Owen on Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard, December 2008. Image via Splash News
“It was the same when I met [Liverpool and England midfielder] Steven Gerrard. I had an opportunity to have a conversation with him and I was tongue-tied. I’ve met the biggest actors and actresses in the world and I’m easy and comfortable but give me Gerrard and I’m in trouble.“
Clive Owen in the April 2009 issue of GQ magazine.

Clive Owen is lush.
Clive Owen is lush.
that’s some fierce side-eye from Stevie G…
I think I'd be tongue tied if I got that oppurtunity!
lol! Clive was tongue-tied probably because he doesn't speak scouse… <img src="http://staticll.fluxstatic.com/-/Clients/Common/Img/RTE/smiley/alpha/cyclopes.gif" alt="cyclopes" title="cyclopes" width="16" height="16">
Lol, Erin. I think he is wearing Alez's scarf… I spy some blue flowers. I'm so going to the shop to find this GQ issue. I absolutely love Clive Owen… and Stevie G.
That is the cutest quote ever. I actually think Stevie would have me more tongue-tied that Clive!
That's one impressive piece of side-eye! I would be tongue-tied to btw. I mean, it's Stevie! (and I might get hit if I say something offensive…)
if I got that opportunity, I’d be tongue tied or if I could speak, I speak with alien language.
w0ow ste is looking great!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Lola! You're a doll for offering. My mag shop is getting it in next week. But I can't wait – I'll send you a PM with my email. Thanks, sweetie!
Clive and Stevie could trade acting tips. Rio Ferdinand is supposed to have a fashion spread in GQ UK in the next issue. Now *that* I want to see!
wow! what a guy clive owen is, huh?
i don't blame him though, i'd faint at the sight of Bono-U2 and xabi alonso. i can strike up a conversation with david beckham only bec i believe he's used to being around asians, so. but with steven gerrard.. i saw a youtube video of stevieG being interviewed by a young female japanese reporter. he looked intimidating. or maybe, he felt intimidated..? dunno.
Don't worry Clive I'd be super tongue tied if I was given the opportunity to meet Stevie.
Aww Clive – I understand… I would probably be the same – took me hours yesterday to try to come up with a question for Nando's live chat thingy, and came up with nothing at all… And that wasen't even in person lol…
Stevie is giving some serious side eye right here gurl and bless clive he wouldnt be the only one…
Me too, Fourth
That's a really cute quote… I'd be tongue-tied meeting Clive Owen or Stevie G, but definitely more so with Stevie…. especially if he was looking as scary as in that photo….
Oooh Look At Stevies Facee, Someones Seriously Pissed Offff
Hmm isn't it ironic?
I was going to the new Clive Owen movie. Now, I'm thinking no. Silly.
Who wouldn’t be tongue tied meeting Steven Gerrard??? You are not alone Clive Owen.
Fourth, I’ve seen the Rio Ferdinand thing in GQ UK, no words could possibly describe it. I could scan it and send to you though!!
That is soo cute =D
Hmm isn’t it ironic?
The quote is hilarious… but the funniest thing about this is Stevie G’s face.
I love Clive and I LOVE Stevie, so I love this story!
Cute pic of our lad too, even with the funny face, but WHY is he wearing Alex’s scarf?
