The 52-year-old actor finds it "difficult" to wear outfits that are "too loud" or "too colourful" and will often choose to wear monochrome garments as often as he can, and will often try to "tone" down his ensemble if he thinks it is too outrageous.

Speaking about his wardrobe preferences to the Metro newspaper, the dark-haired hunk said: "I find it difficult wearing anything too loud, too colourful. I like to tone things down and keep my style quiet, especially when I'm out and about. As a general rule, I try to stick to blacks and whites wherever I can."

And Clive - who has daughters Hannah and Eve with his wife Sarah-Jane - has admitted his favourite place in the world is one of Europe's fashion capitals Paris, France, because he believes it is the "most magical city on the planet".

He explained: "It sounds like a cliché but Paris really s the most magical city on the planet. The first place Ernest Hemingway and his wife stayed when they moved to the city in 1921 is still there and it's fantastic - the Hotel d'Angleterre. If you're lucky, you can even stay in their room, No. 14, which is a real treat."

Meanwhile the 'Children Of Men' star, who played the role of Theo Faron in the movie, has revealed the 2006 production was a "gruelling shoot" and "hard" to film.

He said: "'Children Of Men' was a gruelling shoot. Every location was bleak and hard to film in but that was the movie we were making."

However, Clive has hinted filming the fantasy film was his "most enjoyable" experience.

He explained: "It's weird because the hardest work is often the most enjoyable."
