Owen Wilson Answers The Web’s Most Searched Questions | WIRED
I refuse to believe that “Owen Wilson wow” isn’t the most goggled thing, should’ve been here for sure.
Its safe to say that these things were filtered by his people before even coming on here. Because I can think of far more controversial topics that this could have gone to.
@@IMaximusDMI Well this isn’t his first Autocomplete Interview, his first one was a few years ago where he was interviewed with Ed Helms, and there is literally a WHOLE google question of what movies he said “WOW” in lol
I’m surprised too
He didn’t even say “wow” throughout this whole thing! 😭
In the Paul McCartney one they put the "Paul is dead?" Theory on the interview, they didn't show the question but you can see Paul's reaction.
Dude has this massive golden retriever energy, i can't explain it
Top comment. Absolutely. 😁
Oh my gosh, you're right!
He’s definitely not. He dosent care about his kids
Wooord
@@GraceLove33 What?
When he attempted suicide several years ago, I was so shocked. You never know how someone is hurting. So glad he's still with us, and hopefully those thoughts are no longer.
I didn't know that
Seems to be a common thing among the funny-types, I've noticed. So many hide their pain behind a smile and laughter.
@@jerenemorrison364 Thats usually a reason they do comedy. Youd be amazed at how many comedians today had the most abusive lives ever.
@@rebekahlikesmusic2723 he was suppose to be Matthew mcconahey’s part in Tropic Thunder but dropped out because of the attempted suicide
@@telluryethat's how Robin Williams died, he was fighting so many demons, he died of an overdose....
“Who’s your daddy Owen Wilson??”…….. “like my dad?” He’s so precious
Ironic statement considering he refuses to even meet his 3 year old daughter. 😬
@@jbainbridge22 what happened?
@@xeon2773 it's a complicated story, and this person keeps bringing it up on everyone's comments (quite possibly as a troll,) but I believe it's true. I do keep in mind though that the woman he had the baby with was notorious for being very abusive towards men, and he might've done that to avoid having to be in contact with the woman. I try to keep an open mind about it. It doesn't seem like something he would do; he never did that for either of his other children so something may be up. I'd recommend searching for yourself to get the full story.
If this is the case, I feel bad for him, with it being so public. It's really no one's business but him and his daughter's. Still I want people to not get the wrong idea, and to take everything like this with a grain of salt rather than jump to conclusions. People judge things they know nothing about far too often.
the way he just answered that question so seriously 😭😭
I love how he just said yes he's Australian not as a joke but he just accepted that he is Australian now lol
I think we would happily adopt him
@@haydenroberts5353 Nah, he's too American.
You do love it?
Cool! I can skip that part now 👍🏼
Why would he say he's Australian?
owen wilson not remembering a single thing he’s ever done is genuinely so funny
He has sooo many iconic movies too
Who else thinks that Owen's broken nose is iconic? It's actually a unique look. Lol
I bet his daughter he pretends doesn't exist definitely does lol.
@@RoastBeefQueefSniffer you keep spamming this comment. Did daddy leave you behind and you're taking it out on Owen? Grow a pair.
@@Jk-zv6tz actually ur the one who needs to grow up
@@RoastBeefQueefSniffer loser
@@Jk-zv6tzMy Dad is Owen, u mad bro?
Owen Wilson’s voice is so soothing. I first discovered him in Cars back when I was around 5 or 6 years old and he’s stuck with me ever since. His voice is basically my childhood.
As an Australian speaking on behalf of Australia, we humbly and graciously accept Owen Wilson as one of us
I second this.
@@iamkhonsu it’s offical, that’s two people and Australians are known to only give 2 fucks. Owen Wilson is one of us
@@kalebnolan8343 rofl that had me rolling.
@@adelissahunsley I try I try
Noooooo!!! You cannot have him!
I love the fact that he actually answers QUESTIONS.
The fact that he interpreted the first one and just answered it... I'm so used to people just answering something like that with: Start in what? Next question... Bless this man.
He did not get asked the real ones,
Ngl he was waaaay more interesting that I expected
@@daviesdavies538 usually the people that don't talk about themselves often are far more interesting to learn about. No exception here.
Not EVERY question. 3:13
I love when they actually take time with this and don't rush through it.
I've always liked Owen for some reason. I liked the characters he played and he also seems to be a nice and humble guy in real life.
He is not. its called acting
OMG no way! You’ve met him in real life? You actually know him!?
@@Barrythebarnabas i’m not a huge fan because he refuses to see his daughter. that’s not cool. great actor though
He's good actor and a nice guy. But nobody really will ever know what happened with him and his daughter. That's his business and tbh who really asked or cares.
@@oosthakker”SEEMS”, STUPID
“I was once college roommates with Wes Anderson” is one of the coolest sentences I’ve heard someone say
I always think it’s cool that Robert DeNiro and Danny DeVito were once roommates
@@rmtrue didnt know that, realli cool info to know
Right?! This blew my mind when he said it
@@rmtrue actually that was Michael Douglas
SAME
I learned 2 things about Owen Wilson: He comes across as positive, humble, and kind. And he has a terrible memory :)
Or perhaps he just prefers to live in the present and the future than in the past.
He’s done like 2,000 movies. I think his memory was pretty good considering that fact.
@@willdallas53 Actually, IMDB credits him with 79 acting appearances (including the TV series he's appeared in), but I'm sure if you like him (or don't) it seems like 2,000....
I don't think his memory was that bad. Sure, there are some details he didn't remember quite well, but considering all the things he's done so far, I think he can be forgiven for what he missed.
Yeah He forgot about his daughter.
Owen Wilson and Ben stiller are like one of the most iconic duo’s
The other movie he forgot was Cable Guy. Stiller directed and played the twin brothers Sam and Stan. Haha. Jim Carrey beat Owen up in the bathroom.
Those two plus: Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider. Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp. Seth Rogan and James Franco.
Underrated actor , he makes me think and remember only positive things of life. Big friendly appreciation hug for Owen just for being with us:)
His friendship with Wes Anderson is legendary.
merica
Not with his daughter though…
@@michaelkillerman What does this even mean lol?
@@callumsnaylam1758 look it up owen wilson relationship with his daughter
@@michaelkillerman too lazy for that. Can you give me a tldr pls
He has balls of steel for answering the Marvel question directly... everyone else dodges them!
Well, given that it has already been announced they're having him back, it wasn't that ballsy.
Yea it is already confirmed if anything you could see him panicking thinking if it was or not
No he does not, he refuses to meet his 3 year old daughter that sounds like quite the coward. 😬
@@jbainbridge22 No one cares, stfu
For an earlier interview he would only say there was talk of season 2 and he hoped Mobius would make some kind of appearance. Must have gotten the green light that it's OK to at least acknowledge there will be a season two AND Mobius will be in it.
He seems like such a nice guy. I'm glad he's okay.
so nice to not be a father to your own child
@@jennifercrespo9700 I saw In another reply section but apparently the person he has the child with was abusive towards men not fully sure though
@@jennifercrespo9700 Is it just because he's famous because many people abandon their children and leave it up to the mother to take care of them. So it's no different of Owen Wilson does it.
It’s like lightning McQueen is answering these questions!
Kachow
Someone needs to do a McQueen animation for this.
hehehe
@@diegosanchez5412 YES
@@diegosanchez5412 let's ask Pixar that
Not that lady knowing Owen Wilson better than Owen Wilson himself 🤣
I know. He doesn't even know he's considered a Frat Pack member🤣
Well, she had Google behind her. 😄
She probably looked it up.
@@jakestroll6518 doesn't remember that Emilio et al. were the "BRAT PACK!!"1🥰🤭😆🤣🤫
He’s so humbly interesting and likable. You can sense sadness just under the surface but a sparkling joy as well. I’ve always liked him as an actor and celebrity.
Yeah, the sense of sadness, I felt that too.. I hope he's alright, I like him as well.
He had a depression breakout after his breakup with Jennifer Aniston where he needed intervention. So yes! Maybe he's treating himself.
Me too!
He did attempt suicide back in 2007 or 2008
He attempted Suicide so yeah
There is just something so relaxing watching and listening to Owen. I think he gives off a very calm and caring energy. Don’t care what others said but I loved The Haunting!
He is not smug like most actors. He's actually pretty chill.
Stop projecting little kid
@@oosthakker I mean he's like really chill towards her.
@@oosthakker I have a much better one,oosh*tter. That’ll teach you.
@@oosthakker imagine being so lifeless that u have to spam comments beneath a interview of a actor who is more successful than your entire family combined
the person behind the camera who's interacting with owen seems like a fan! love the energy
I know right! They seem to know more than he does about himself lmao. And if I was that person I'd probably trip all over myself and act like a fool, then regret it for the rest of my life lmao. Part of me doesn't want to meet him for that reason.
@@candycane3739 ahahaahah true
Probably his manager or something
Who isn't a fan of him he has charisma
Owen has hardly aged in the last 20 years. Dude looks really good for being 50+ years old.
Yes !! Him and Paul Rudd
Probably because of his hair
He is heavily pancaked up, look at his crepey neck skin. But he’s blessed with good hair.
@@martin3203 creepy neck skin?
@@spike5499 sorry, crepey skin.
I love it when a celebrity is just as you think they would be. Owen Wilson is so chill.
You're probably right that he is chill, but in my opinion judging an actor by how they act in a PR event doesn't make much sense. An actor could come onto a show like this and pretend to be chill and you would have no idea if it is their real personality or not.
I can't believe Vince Vaughan and Owen Wilson are only in four movies together, that is insane, their chemistry in The Internship is so good!
And only 2 movies they are heavily sharing the screen. They need more
This is the first time I’ve seen an actor bring up a movie “that wasn’t well received” and the fact that he’s going back into the genre to try again. In one sentence, he showed so much maturity. Usually, the only time “bad projects” are brought up is during a self-deprecating joke(which is fine!, this was just really refreshing)
Yesss ❤️❤️❤️
I saw Bradley Cooper do it once on The Tonight Show talking about The A-Team "under performing" as he called it. Apparently President Clinton is a big fan of that movie. As am I.
@@jimthar17 I loved that movie😆
SPOILER ALERT: I liked that movie. I saw it because of him and remember being so disappointed when he was killed off so quickly.
@@ashleystack7054 me too. So much so that i own the dvd. I wasn't aware it didn't get much praise because i sure did enjoy it.
Two real-life Owen encounters. Saw him running near my brother’s house in Dallas a few years ago. He was shirtless and was pretty ripped actually. Then met him in a hotel lobby in Santa Monica once and he was absolutely the nicest guy. Took a picture with us and chatted a bit. Such a wonderful human being.
It was “ I “ who clicked “ like “ on your comment you lucky dog !!!
@Damon Albarn Hater why?
Horrible person!! Has a daughter that he refuses to see. Has 2 boys with 2 other women and dotes on them, but daughter gets nothing!! Poor excuse of a father.
That's great. I have met Rita Moreno and Ken Berry. And I will remember how exciting that was forever.
Shirtless Owen Wilson is a gift- xD
Owen is definitely someone you feel you would want as a best friend. So relaxed, pretty humble.
@@oosthakker You don't know the first thing about depression huh
Owen Wilson is a wonderful actor with tremendous range and depth. I loved him in The Darjeeling Limited, Midnight in Paris, The Royal Tenenbaums, Starsky and Hutch and The Internship. Powerhouse of talent
Not to mention The Minus Man. Uncharacteristically dark for Mr. Wilson but he absolutely ’killed’ it. Great cast too.
I close my eyes and Lighting McQueen is answering these questions for Owen.
Right!! Watched the cars film the other night haha
You're young!
😂😂😂😂
Kachow
I can relate! Lol!!
I'm so happy to see Owen doing much better nowadays, considering he's been in a good chunk of my childhood movies
Same here. It bums me out to think of all the troubles he’s gone through :/
@@davidcrowell2611 what has he gone through?
What troubles has he been in? Never knew.
He has serious depression and attempted suicide. He was actually supposed to play the role of Rick Peck in Tropic Thunder, since the character is Ben Stiller's character's best friend. But they began shooting the movie shortly after Owen's suicide attempt, so they gave him time off for mental health and recast the role with Matthew McConaughey.
@@amityislandchum cheers dude.
I remember seeing Bottle Rocket when it came out and thinking. "This dude is one of a kind". Glad he is uber famous. What a great actor
I have waited my whole life for this. 10 out of 10 Owen Wilson wow’s.
Owen Wilson is the kind of guy who you can talk to about anything. Especially about your feelings.
Yeah then he's gonna annoy me 🤣
@@mranon9902 unless you’re someone who loves to talk. “Talkey-Talkey”.
Ask him about the daughter he refuses to acknowledge. See if he talks to you about that. He's a horrible person.
so soft-spoken, he's very funny. . . okay, that's all.
That really is all you’ve got.
Funny he's not. Even Quentin Tarantino has said so. Brother Luke is the funny one in the Wilson family.
I love him.
@@andreaw8667 but only on your own.
I love Owen in both comedies & serious roles, he's so talented - he comes across as such a great guy too...
Thank you for your support and love, your support for Hollywood is well appreciated.. Once again thank you very much ❤️ Wilson Owen ❤️
@@wilsonowenofficialHello, my name is Kim Taehee, a big fan of Owen Wilson My real dream is to be Owen Walson's real daughter It's nice to meet you Mr. McQueen ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
"What Owen Wilson" abbreviated is "wow". Sometimes the stars just align.
This man's energy is so calming rn. He's just chatting without any bs, love it.
God his appearance in loki was so unexpected for me but was absolutely perfect, every scene with him and Tom was fantastic
They were also great together in Midnight in Paris where Tom played the writer F Scott Fitzgerald. I know it’s taboo now to even like a Woody Allen movie but I actually think it’s Owen’s best performance.
He’s so ready to finally ride his jet ski in season 2!! 😍😍😍
Anxiously awaiting season 2!!!👍🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
He gives good, detailed answers. a lot of celebrities don’t seem to do so
he's an actor that im not like... a stan of, but he feels like an old college friend you're always kinda casually happy to see.
I’m not really Stan either.
It is both odd and comforting to see Owen so casual these days. He's so type-cast as an awkward version of himself so to see him candidly out of character is refreshing.
There’s something just so calming about Owen’s voice. He’s so soft spoken and polite and overall it’s soothing. I have to admit he seems to have lost his Texan drawl over the years but hints of it are still there.
Would be nice if he used it to read a bedtime story for his daughter sometime
Women have the right to abort and choose not to be a parent so men should have that same right. Get over it cry baby
@@oosthakker Bruh lol, Owen's business.
That’s why I like him in NATM he plays a southern character
Everytime he speaks all I hear is lightning McQueen
I love how Owen Wilson is in such random movies but then the actual guy Owen Wilson just seems so chill and friendly and nice
Did not expect him to be cast in Loki but really enjoyed his character. Glad to see Mobius is coming back in season 2.
I love the long answers. These are so fun to watch when the celebrities give good answers like Owen did. And he seems like such a nice guy! Great talented actor, he’s always so funny in his movies
he tips good
@@erinr9855 nice to hear
Owen Wilson is one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood.
The Haunting was my favorite haunted house movie for so long and still probably is in the top 3
My three favorite Wes Anderson movies are the first three that Owen wrote with him: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums. It's a shame that Owen didn't collaborate on more or write with someone else. Writing is very hard and doesn't pay like the acting jobs he's offered.
An immensely likeable man! It’s a bit of a shame so much of his life he has suffered with horrible bouts of depression…he is a very easy person to wish the best for!
Wow, really? I had no idea. I hope he's doing better!
@@directorjake I am not sure how true it is but he was initially supposed to play the Matthew McConaughey's part in Tropic Thunder but was going through a very low point mentally, so Ben let him recover and recasted
@@directorjake He famously attempted suicide after Kate Hudson dumped him for a fling with Dax Shepard. He saw the paparazzi pics and did it. If I recall correctly, he was in a coma for awhile after that.
hate the fact that he's doing the web's most searched questions and not thirst tweets. that would've been absolute gold
Or, y'know, tremendously uncomfortable for him
@@georgedoty-williams2085 he could also find it thoroughly amusing but we have no idea though
maybe they were gonn do that but he wouldnt be comfy with it so they did the most searched questions one? idk
@Damon Albarn Hater Completely not true. My heart flutters every time I see him.
@Damon Albarn Hater Oh, really? What crime has he committed? Besides stealing my heart, of course. :)
Everyone: *talks about Owen Wilson being a nice guy and stuff* Me: where lightning mcqueen
He's a sweetheart. I know an Aussie in these comments claimed him but on behalf of us Scottish ladies we will adopt him also x
Aw that's cute 🥺
Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
"We both know you love to talk. Talky-talky." Somebody get this man a jet ski!
An entire generation has grown up with his movies and he’s given us so many amazing moments to look back on. Great to see him doing well, an absolute legend
Wow
It was seriously a pleasure growing up watching films like Starsky and Hutch, The Internship, The Darjeeling Limited, Wedding Crashers, Midnight in Paris, The Royal Tenenbaums etc. Owen Wilson is a powerhouse of talent
One of the best things about being a 90s kid was Owen Wilson movies
I've never been into actors, but my brother and I would always seek out Owen Wilson movies. His energy is so amazing, and funny!
There is an Owen Wilson movie called The Internship where Will Ferrell is dressed up as Boba Fett in a deleted scene. Only reason I can find why that would be a search.
I love how seriously he took this I hate when guests don’t answer the questions
You do realise that for that you can just... Google the questions?
Like who?
me too. i really appreciate him giving the interview substance.
He's so likeable. I'm so glad we are getting a resurgence of Owen Wilson. I really enjoyed him in so many movies as a kid. I can't wait till Loki season 2.
he's so likable and seems like a real genuine and nice guy
What a lovely man. I know he has had many many mental health problems and struggled with substance abuse and he even has a 3 year old daughter he has never seen but I still love him despite his problems. He is just a complicated human being.
now i see why he and tom hiddleston get along so well/have great chemistry because they actually in-depth answer questions (even silly ones) unlike most celebrities they are probably both very thoughtful and seem to care about everything they do which is nice
They’re both genuine, cool people!
“Who’s your daddy Owen Wilson??”…….. “like my dad?” the way he just continued to answer that question so seriously 😭😭
The Haunting is my favorite horror movie, and my FAVORITE Owen Wilson role, hands down.
I hope there is and will be more people giving long answers like Owen did in this video. Much appreciated.
Owen is so down to earth and such a sweetheart! Really enjoyed his thoughtful responses ❤
So down to earth, no sarcasms in answering questions, and I'm surprised that the questions are wholesome questions. One of my fave actors.
Love this dude. Thought of him as an always positive, smiling and joking guy.
He isn’t. I thought of him the same way, but he’s surly and rude, completely unlike the cool characters he plays.
@@hardcoredoom5892 other people have met him and will say otherwise
@@hardcoredoom5892 how do u know?
@@hardcoredoom5892 Have you met him? Also he seems pretty cool. I don't know him personally but he seems nice and is nice towards his friends.
@@hardcoredoom5892 I've met him twice and he's totally chilled and very nice.
i met this man when he happened to come through my security station back when i was doing security screening at an airport. He's very polite and friendly. Even shy. Clearly not one of those weirdo 'celebs' who are out of touch with reality. Was saddened when i heard he was having emotional trauma. Looks like he's left that long behind. Very happy for him. [EDIT: HAHAHAAH 2:40 coz ^ was in Australia! ]
I wanted this video to never end. He sounds so gentle and very thoughtful about his questions.
Yes
I wonder if he has a podcast. His voice is so soothing.
I could listen to this man for a lot longer, Seems like a great guy. Can't wait to see him again in Loki.
Great guys don't refuse to be in their 3 year old daughters life.
Yes I wish he had his own social Media profile . But. I understand why he doesn’t . Especially. When people talk bad about him. So. I hope he at least reads the positive comments about himself on this site
When you're an honest person, you answer like Owen Wilson
Owen Wilson is so chill and down to earth that I still am traumatized by his death in Anaconda. It solidified my fear of snakes coz I absolutely loved Owen as a kid.
I could listen to him talk for hours, days and years and never get bored. His voice and the way he speaks is so relaxing
his voice is so gentle and his answers are so thoughtful; maybe my favorite guest on this specific interview
He will forever be my favourite Mobius now.
I LOVE Owen Wilson. Such good vibes
Owen Wilson has a voice that I can just listen to him talk about anything and I'd love it. His voice is so calming and soothing.
A mellow Texan
Just saw "Marry Me" in theaters (like literally came out of theater and straight to this video) He was amazing in it! Loved the chemistry between Owen and Jen, and though I'm not a huge fan of romantic movies, this movie made me forget that and exceeded all my expectations! Love you, Owen!
I love Owen but there's not enough money in the world to sit through the narcissist that is Jlo.
@@jakestroll6518 It’s a bit ironic how we might term her attitude “great presence and self-confidence“ in a man, and “narcissism“ in a woman.
I love that Owen nicely presented the boards throughout the whole thing 😂
It just occurred to me, he’s a great enunciator. One of the best.
He took this a lot more seriously than I was expecting, not gonna lie
“Who is your daddy” just Owen Wilson saying that made my day 😂
Owen has one of if not the smoothest voices of anyone ive ever heard. I could honestly listen to this guy talk for hours
What a great guy and such a good comedian. I hope he makes a lot more movies!
I'll watch anything with Owen Wilson in it. I always end up loving his character no matter what role he plays!
"I AM like a wild horse. You can't tame me. You put the oats in the pen, though, and I'll come in for a nibble every day. But the minute you shut that gate, I'll jump the fence and you'll never see me again."
Just made for him to say
Owen Wilson IRL is exactly how you'd expect him to be and I love that
Surprised nothing was mentioned about Cars movie
What a thoughtful, down to earth guy. As a kid I loved him in Shanghai Noon and the sequel.. Good stuff wired!
He and Jackie Chan were ridiculous and adorable. Agree 100%
yes shanghai was such a great movie!!
I never really paid attention to Owen Wilson outside of seeing him in movies. I'm loving his whole vibe.
1:30 Owen Wilson forgot about Zoolander Excuse me bruh xD
I love this guy. He is one of those actors who u just love. He is texan and i love how he talks like all mellow and laid back.
So glad we didn't lose him years ago. He does not know how many of us love him. He is one of the most down to earth celebrity ever.😀
owen wilson abandoned his daughter
@@oosthakker Naw. Did daddy abandon you too?
@@Jk-zv6tz no my dad is fine no ahole like this owen smug wilson guy
I love how he knows precisely what Wes Anderson movie he wasn't in. Also, his part in Wedding Crashers was a unabashedly sweet romance.
Well they cowrote a lot of films
@@chataclysm2112 I didn't know that!
He would have been a little tall to be in Moonrise Kingdom though.
Fun to watch. I think I saw Owen at a football or basket ball game in high school in Dallas. HP vs his school at his High School and I remember he smiled at me across the room. I never forgot that gorgeous quirky face.
I know everyone is talking about Brendan Fraser but Owen Wilson was also an actor I watched as a child (Marly & Me, NATM,etc. I hope he makes a career comebcak just like Brandon.
Thank you for your support and love, your support for Hollywood is well appreciated.. Once again thank you very much ❤️ Wilson Owen ❤️
