My solution:

public static SPUser GetSPUser(SPListItem item, string key)   
{
    SPUser user=null;   
    SPFieldUserValue userValue = new SPFieldUserValue(item.Web, item[key].ToString());
    if (userValue != null)
    {
        SPUser user = userValue.User;
    }
return user;
}

How To Call:

SPUser spUser=GetSPUser(splistItem,"Owner"); 

This is tested code and working fine.
