Think you need to starve yourself to land a Hollywood celebrity? Think again. While stars like Johnny Depp and Joel Madden may get turned on by the sight of protruding bones, there are plenty of famous men who appreciate a full-figured lover. Don't believe us? Read on to see Body-Philosophy's round-up of male stars who like a little meat on their bones.

Clive Owen and wife Sarah-Jane FentonClive Owen and wife Sarah-Jane Fenton



Clive Owen


Dreamboat Brit actor Clive Owen may get paid to lock lips with beauties like Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie, but he goes home to full-figured wife Sarah-Jane Fenton, whom he married in 1995. The couple, parents to two daughters, share a romantic history; he played Romeo to her Juliet in a 1988 Young Vic Theatre Company production.

According to In Case You Didn't Know, there's little chance that hunky Clive will leave his wife for one of his skinny leading ladies. "I so value what I've got at home with my wife and kids that I've never f***ed with that," he has told People. "For me, that's what it's about. I've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie. It's a fun thing to do, but it's not love. So I never have a problem with that.

"My relationship is everything to me," Clive says. "I'm often doing incredibly exciting plays and films, but that would mean nothing if I were floating around and didn't have a solid family behind me. Sarah-Jane is an absolute diamond."
Awww. Too bad he's taken!

Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee FurnessHugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furness



Hugh Jackman


While geriatric movie stars like Jack Nicholson are still chasing after skinny starlets young enough to be their granddaughters, foxy Hugh Jackman's wife, actress Deborra-Lee Furness, is eight years his senior. And though Hugh's been known to flash his abs of steel and killer pecs (not that we mind), curvy Deborra is usually seen bundled up in slimming black.

Though Hugh and Deborra have been married for more than a decade and have two young children, the Hollywood rumor mill hasn't been too open-minded when it comes to their pairing. As AfterElton.com notes, Hugh's been plagued by whispers that he's actually gay. Even the ladies on "The View" have been buzzing about it.

"I was reading...that Hugh Jackman, who is a very handsome guy, people always think he's gay because his wife looks like the rest of us," Joy Behar has said. "[She's] not in his level. He's like Sex Man."
Guess there is a downside to landing a Hollywood hunk - people would rather believe he's gay than just a fan of real-sized women.
Pierce Brosnan and wife Keely Shaye SmithPierce Brosnan and wife Keely Shaye Smith



Pierce Brosnan

Not even a foxy Bond girl like Halle Berry's Jinx could steal former 007 Pierce Brosnan away from his Rubenesque wife Keely Shaye Smith. Though Smith has always been curvaceous, giving birth to two sons has caused her to pack on the pounds in recent years.

But that doesn't mean the girl doesn't know how to flaunt her sex appeal. "I never hide in baggy clothing," she revealed to Vogue, which featured her as the token zaftig fashionista in its Shape Issue.

And, hey, if you can rock cleavage like that, you might as well just "diet" another day.
Eric Mabius and wife Ivy ShermanEric Mabius and wife Ivy Sherman



Eric Mabius


Eric Mabius may play a shallow modelizer on "Ugly Betty," but in real life the actor is married to designer Ivy Sherman, whose voluptuous, real-woman figure is a far cry from the Size Zeros her husband chases on TV (surely Betty would approve?). The couple, who dated for five years before tying the knot last year, are parents to a year-old son.

Fun fact: The actor - recently named one of People's Sexiest Men Alive - met his future wife in his high-school sex-ed class.
Freddy Rodriguez and WifeFreddy Rodriguez and Wife



Freddy Rodriguez

He may be on the petite side himself, but Freddy Rodriguez of "Six Feet Under" and "Ugly Betty" fame doesn't want a woman who shops in the juniors department.

"I like curves," Rodriguez has said, reports SuperiorPics.com. "I like hips and a big butt. That's the first thing that attracted me to my wife."

With her full-figured frame, Elsie Rodriguez - Freddy's wife and mother to his two sons - may sometimes make her diminutive hubby look a little puny, but there's no question she's got the curvy-hot-mama thing down pat.
Jude Law, Daisy Wright, & Sienna Miller Jude Law, Daisy Wright, & Sienna Miller



Jude Law

Talk about a low blow. Not only did Jude Law cheat on then-fiancee Sienna Miller, but he did it with his children's heavier, less attractive nanny, Daisy Wright. Some speculate that Jude grew weary of both "it girl" Sienna's non-stop partying and whippet-thin body, but it looks like the scorned ex might be having the last laugh. After all, Jude's affair - and subsequent "chubby chaser" branding - hasn't exactly helped his career or earned him much respect.

"Trading in the mother of your three children (Frost)," writes The Independent, "for a younger, blonder, skinnier model whom you met at work (Sienna Miller), proposing to said new bird while the ink on your divorce papers is still wet, and then having an affair with your children's chubby nanny (Daisy Wright) is about as original as The Da Vinci Code."
Samuel L. Jackson & WifeLaTanya Richardson Samuel L. Jackson & WifeLaTanya Richardson



Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson seems to star in pretty much every movie ever made, so why shouldn't he be on this list too? The actor has been married since 1980 to heavy-set actress LaTanya Richardson, with whom he has a 25-year-old daughter. What, you thought he romanced skinny blondes like his Bridget-Fonda-loving character in Jackie Brown?

Being the plus-sized plus one may not be all it's cracked to be. LaTanya has confided to Ebony about her "unorthodox look" and how she struggles having a superstar husband when she has actually been in the acting business longer. And then there are the women.

"My husband loves women, always has, so you have to deal with that," she says. "It's not just fans, it's women who come up to him and say, 'You know, I love you, and you know, I wore this for you.' And I say, 'Who the hell is this and how did she get your phone number?' Oh no, diva, you're getting ready to get him in a whole lot of trouble - back up!"

Gavin Henson &Charlotte Church Gavin Henson &Charlotte Church

Gavin Henson

Some athletes (cough - David Beckham) like their women downright skeletal. Some athletes like women with curves, assuming that by "curves" you mean implants. And some, like Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson, like their women to be a bit on the pudgy side.

Gavin may work out round the clock to maintain his toned physique, but he's found love with fleshy songstress Charlotte Church. The 'Voice of an Angel" star recently gave birth to the couple's daughter, following a pregnancy in which her plump frame ballooned considerably.

According to AskMen.com, Charlotte has worried about her weight's effects on their relationship, fearing that Gavin will leave her for being too chubby.

"She told me Gavin loves her curves," a friend told Britain's More Magazine. "But he admitted he preferred her when she was slimmer. She then said Gavin had told her she'd gotten too fat. She was totally mortified."

Gerarld McRaney & Delta BurkeGerarld McRaney & Delta Burke



Gerald McRaney


"Designing Women" actress Delta Burke's weight may have dramatically gone up and down during much of the 1980s and 1990s, but she did have one constant in her life: husband Gerald McRaney, aka "Major Dad." The couple, who have no children, have been married since 1989.

In a 1997 interview with Radiance Magazine, Delta credits McRaney for helping her deal with the criticism over her weight gain. ""It didn't matter to him," she said. "I put the weight on after we were together. I put on about 20 pounds when we got married, and people were flipping their lids. And then I put on more after that, and I've gone up and down since then. Actually, I think it's interesting that when I put the weight on, I was already with him. I don't know, maybe I felt safe. And he likes me like this. He likes me whatever size I am."
Mike Myers & Robin RuzanMike Myers & Robin Ruzan



Mike Myers

Here's one larger-than-life fairy tale that doesn't have a happy ending. Mike Myers - most often seen gallivanting on screen with the likes of Elizabeth Hurley, Tia Carrere, Heather Graham, and Beyonce - and full-figured wife Robin Ruzan filed for divorce in 2005.

The 12-year Myers-Ruzan union did spawn at least one happy development: the recurring "Coffee Talk" sketch on "Saturday Night Live." Myers modeled his Linda Richman character after Ruzan's mother.
