The Welsh actor is married to Sylverstra Le Touzel
Owen first crossed paths with Sylvestra in 1991, after the pair were cast in a theatre production of Henry IV. At the time, Owen was married to his first wife, the late actress Dilys Watling – with whom he has a son, Ion – so romance wasn't on the cards.Following Owen's divorce from Dilys in the mid-90s, the actor eventually embarked on a relationship with Sylvestra, and they married in 2001. While the couple remains private about their family life, they are parents to two daughters.
"As an actor, if you're going somewhere, it's good to make a holiday out of it as well, so I'll speak to my agent and see if they can get a flight for my wife and kids. Sometimes you get lucky."Owen revealed that tries to get his acting work on location to double up as holidays for Sylvestra and their kids
Owen added: "One of our greatest trips was to Japan when I was performing for the Royal Shakespeare Company in the play Anjin. We spent Christmas in Tokyo. The culture was so different. In the West, it's all about the individual, whereas in Japan there's more of a Buddhist sense of what they can give you. Anybody would help you. Their kindness blew me away."
Clearly, a fan of travelling, Owen revealed that he even took Sylvestra to South Africa for her 60th birthday. "For my missus's 60th birthday we said: 'Let's do something special.' A job came up in South Africa and I was filming in Cape Town, so we went on safari in Sabi Sands Game Reserve," he recalled.
