The 'Clive Owen Stare'

We can all look.
Gaze.
Glance.
Glare.
Peek.
Peer.
Ogle.
Scan.
Squint.
We can all stare, convey different emotions while doing it, many at a time or pick one and give it room to take center stage, breathe out on its own. Accompanied by speech or spotlighted by silence. Clive Owen has always stared in a way that set him apart. I’ve always chalked it up to extra intensity but a few nights ago while watching The International I thought I spotted something, a small detail that just might be the secret to his stare, the ingredient that makes it unique and which has suddenly made me want to go back and watch each one of his films again. He doesn’t just stare defiantly, he doesn’t just linger confidently. He follows once eye contact is broken.
