Can't believe dear old Clive hasn't been typed! I'm tempted to say a jaded ENFP. Failing that, an ISFP. :)

Yeah, low to moderate certainty, INTJ for Clive.

I don't really see the J at all. He has a playful nature. The J typing is simply a jaded P sense of humour I think (it might be a British thing).

Could be ISFP, he seems really laidback, I had got the impression from his roles that he was quite an intense guy but not so in this interview.

When he was talking about his career, he talked about it in a kind of flowing, adaptable way, wouldn't a INTJ have more of a strategic approach to his career perhaps?

Quote from a Bio:

"It's whether you're nurturing or protecting an image, that's the key," he asserted to Chris Jones in an interview for Esquire. "And I'm not. I'll deliberately mess it up.… I'm just a working actor. I always want my options to be open. I always want to do something different."

Doesn't sound very J to me.

To argue only against that specific point, I've known Js with a very playful nature. Eventually they are compelled to "get back to work."

ISTP or maybe INTP, with most of the characters he plays being ISTP

this is actually a pretty easy one, im surprised nobody has said this!

I'm drawing a blank. If money were on the line I'd roll the dice with INTJ.

Video reference: YouTube - Clive Owen talks about Close My Eyes

He definitely comes off as INTx in that interview. He has that aloof demeanor that is often exhibited by introverted NTs - his eyes wander around the room instead of looking at the camera or the interviewer, and his posture is constantly shifting - he is not stiff and proper as and SJ ordinarily would be (even under an informal interview such as this one), and neither is he fully laid back and relaxed, like an SP would be. And there is no Feeler vibe about him at all.

I am also leaning more toward INTJ because his voice is filled with intonation, as opposed to an INTP who tends to be more monotone.
