Celebrity Profiles

Owen Wilson

Date of Birth: 18th November 1968


One minute rundown:  Owen Wilson was expelled from school and sent to Military school in New Mexico – what a naughty boy. His mischievous streak must have been clear at an early age! At college in Texas he had no plans to pursue acting, until he partnered up with classmate Wes Anderson to write the play, A Night in Tunisia, and produce the short movie, Bottle Rocket – a 13 minute short that was a huge hit at the Sundance Film Festival. He starred in the short with his brother Luke and in 1996, once it was turned into a full length movie, his other brother Andrew joined the cast.

Ben Stiller was impressed with his performance – the pair met when Ben cast Owen in The Cable Guy. The two became buddies and both members of The Frat Pack, they went on to star in six more movies together, including playing the leads in 70s TV show remake, Starsky and Hutch. A romance with Sheryl Crow followed, as did a collaboration with Jackie Chan, and in 2001 another partnership with Wes Anderson resulted in The Royal Tenenbaums becoming a huge critical and box office success. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. And The Wedding Crashers followed, and during the filming of You, Me and Dupree, Wilson hooked up with the recently single Kate Hudson, although the pair split recently around rumours of Owen’s drug addictions. Let’s hope they’re just rumours Owen, and you won’t try and top yourself again.

Though by nature you are home loving, your pleasure-seeking nature will become prominent and you may get into a romantic, partying mood. Near relatives may become demanding and you may have to spend more than you have budgeted to meet the needs of near and dear ones. There could be some unpleasant arguments connected with joint properties.
