Actor Clive Owen says he gets disturbed when the paparazzi take pictures of his young children, insisting such kind of invasion of privacy should be made illegal.

"I'd love it to be made illegal. When you're walking along the street with a five-year-old girl and a guy runs up and very aggressively starts taking pictures, it's very frightening for the little one," Femalefirst quoted the "Closer" star as saying.

"You get very instinctively protective when children are involved. I'm fair game - I have to deal with anything that happens out there. But there's something very unsettling when it comes to children," said the British actor who is widely touted to become the next James Bond.
