Owen Wilson is an enigma

The Darjeeling Limited is a neat little movie. I am also happy to see him in films after the suicide attempt. I hope all is well in his life.
 
Always found him to be one of the funnier guys in Hollywood, but he hasn't had the best material to work with.

I was glad to see him pop up with a small role in Grand Budapest Hotel.
 
That combo of Owen Wilson, brother Luke, and Wes Anderson is just so classic understated funny. I read that Owen gets Co writing credit because of his improvised lines. Really funny guy who should be A list but sadly is B+ list.
 
You guys should watch No Escape.

It was pretty good. Although it has some similarties to recent events so it was hard to watch

Watched it on the plane a few days ago, Brosnan was bad ass.
 
In the right roles he's great, but I find most of his films and performances to be so so. Always seemed like a cool guy though. I prefer Luke over him most of the time though and wish he was in more stuff, despite being very different personality and style wise.
 
All this thread led to was looking up that Hiddleston impression of Wilson as Loki and then 15 minutes of watching Tom do other impressions.
 
I'm glad it sounds like he's overcome a lot of his spiraling depression and suicidal tendencies. He's a lousy actor but seems genuine from what I've seen of him.
 
Kevin Spacey is the same way. He purposefully shuns the public eye so that people can believe more in his characters (or something like that).
 
I give him cred for never having it fixed. I certainly don't have that much self-confidence, particularly if I could get it fixed easily and by the best surgeons available.
I saw a interview once and he said he didn't get it fixed because his brothers thought if he got it fixed he was a sissy. Don't know if it's true though.
 
I read that attempt wasn't the first, just the most publicized. He had to drop out of Tropic Thunder and McConaughey took his place (which has always amazed me since I think that was the beginning of his resurgence).

Wilson's a good actor. Always liked him in Life Aquatic. His cameo in Fantastic Mr. Fox is legendary for the whack bat rules.
