Owen Cunningham Wilson grew up in Dallas, Texas. He went to high school for two years. He was expelled his shophomore year for stealing the teacher's book for "help" with his homework. He then went to two years of military school in New Mexico. His first film was Bottle Rocket. Then, he went on to act in The Cable Guy, Anaconda, and Armagedon. In 2000 he got his big break in acting along side of Jackie Chan in Shanghai Noon. Then he landed a the role of "Hansel", in Zoolander. He played a arch rival to Ben Stiller. He was a new coming model and beat Stiller for model of the year. He has memorable lines, such as,"Matilda, can I call you Maltil?" He then went on to star in the star studded film, The Royal Tennebaums. His brother Luke Wilson also starred in it. Then he went on the box office flop, I-Spy along side Eddie Murphy. He plays a detective who falls in love with a double agent.
In 2005 Owen starred along side Vince Vaughn in the box office smash, Wedding Crashers. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. They play best friends who crash weddings together to get girls. Then, at one of the weddings, both Vaughn and Wilson fall for bridesmaids that are sisters. Some of the best quotes are, "I'm reading don't kill myself books."-Wilson "I thought you said the book wasn't yours?"-Vaughn, "It's not mine, but I glanced at it."-Wilson. They make a hilarious duo. His love interest is Rachael McAdams. They make a good couple, but when they meet at the wedding she is engaged to Sak; really mean rich man. Owen and Vaughn stay at the home of the Cleary's, the girls they are trying to land. Each wedding they go to they come up with a back story. They also have a lot of funny rules to wedding crashing. "No excuses play like a champion."
Wilson has also been the voice for Lightning McQueen in Disney and Pixar's cars. He is said to return for cars 2 to come out in 201l. He also starred along side Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson in You Me and Dupree. He plays Randolf Dupree, Dillon's free loading childhood friend. He seems to mess everything up with Hudson and Dillion's relationship, but he makes really big comebacks. He was later said to be dating Hudson. They ended their relationship in May 2007. Wilson in August of that year Wilson attempted suicide. He was being treated for depression at that time.
He most recently starred along side Jennifer Aniston in Marley and Me. It was just recently released on DVD. He is rumored to be dating Kate Hudson again; and there is speculation that they are engaged to be married in June of this year.
