Owen becomes face of skincare ads

British actor Clive Owen will be the face of Lancome’s new men’s grooming products, including a fragrance and anti-ageing skincare line.

Lancome chose Owen – who stars in films such as Children of Men, Gosford Park and The Bourne Identity – for his work ethic rather than his good looks, said Odile Roujol, general manager of Lancome International.
