Clive Owen pulled in the crowds at the London Film Festival last night. Following appearances from A-listers including George Clooney and Emma Thompson over the past week, the British actor walked the red carpet to unveil his new film The Boys Are Back. The story, based on a memoir by Simon Carr, follows a man who is forced to bring up two children on his own when his wife dies. He takes on a philosophy of saying yes to everything. But Clive says he won't be using this tactic with his own children. He told reporters: "My kids tell me what I have to agree to. They rule the roost at home." X Factor's creative director Brian Friedman was among those at the gala, and admitted he's a huge Clive Owen fan. The Boys Are Back is released in the UK in January 2010.
