He is known famously from his hilarious roles in the mid-1990s Frat Pack comedies. Owen Cunningham Wilson is the offbeat acting professional with a high level of improvisational abilities that makes him a highlight of virtually all his roles. Owen is yet to win an academy award but has quite a few nominations to his credit and his fans love him anyway.
Date of Birth: November 18, 1968
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
The Wedding Crashers (2005) star admitted that he spent most of his early days as the trouble maker that raised a lot of havoc not just for his family but in school which eventually caused him expulsion in tenth grade. He later enrolled in the University of Texas where he met a philosophy student named Wes Anderson who literally changed his life. The twosome clicked so much that they soon began working enthusiastically to create a screen play. After this poorly successful play, he became motivated enough to move to Los Angeles for a finer career in the entertainment industry.
As you might know already, Owen is not the only Wilson child in the film industry, in fact, when he headed to L.A, he was accompanied by his brother Luke. He comes from a middle class family and still maintains close ties with the other Wilsons. Owen has never been married but is the father to two children from two separate women yet he is single.
