Owen Wilson Fans Shocked After Finding Out He Has A Famous Brother
Owen Wilson fans have been left shocked after finding out he has a famous brother.
Born on November 18, 1968, in Dallas, Texas, Wilson rose to fame in the 1990s and 2000s with roles in comedies such as Wedding Crashers, Zoolander, and The Royal Tenenbaums.
The latter of which, Wilson co-wrote with director Wes Anderson, earning them an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
Wilson’s career also includes voice work, most notably as Lightning McQueen in Pixar’s Cars series.
Known for his quirky charm and ‘wow’ catchphrase, he has become a beloved figure in Hollywood.
The Loki star is one of three children. While both of his siblings work in the industry, his younger brother is also very well-known.
A viral TikTok showed reacting to pictures of the Cars actor’s celebrity sibling, and since then, the video has been viewed millions of times.
She wrote alongside the clip: “I was today years old when I realized this guy is Owen Wilson’s brother.
“Tell me I’m not the only one that just clocked?”
Shocked, fans rushed to the comments, with one person writing: “Now I know why he looks so familiar. Never thought about them being brothers!”
A second person asked: “How did I not realize?”
“Why does this make so much sense? I always thought they looked similar,” added a third.
Some were far less surprised though, appearing to have known about the famous siblings for quite some time.
One commented: “Girl what?! Everybody knows they are brothers, they talk exactly the same!”
Another wrote: “Am I really old? I thought everyone knew this.”
A third said: “How did y’all not know this? Me and my friends used to call him ‘the hot one.’”
The images showed Legally Blonde, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and Old School actor Luke Wilson.
Although Luke has had rather large shoes to fill, he’s had no issues in paving his own way in the industry.
He is best known for his portrayal of Emmett in Legally Blonde – a law student who eventually falls in love with Reese Witherspoon’s iconic character, Elle Woods.
Luke has also had critically acclaimed work in some lesser-known pictures, too, including Henry Poole Is Here, Death at a Funeral, and The Goldfinch.
But this isn’t the only famous brother of Owen Wilson.
The eldest of the three Wilson brothers, Andrew, is also a successful actor and director in his own right.
He has enjoyed roles in movies such as Drew Barrymore’s Whip It, Fever Pitch with Jimmy Fallon, and the 2017 film, Time Trap.
Andrew has shared the screen with his film star brothers on a number of occasions, including in multiple Wes Anderson movies, such as Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums.
The three siblings grew up in Dallas, Texas, and are regularly seen supporting each other from the front row at movie premieres.
The trio’s parents are also well-known, with Robert A Wilson, a TV director, and Laura Wilson, an esteemed photographer.
Robert passed away aged 75 in 2017. The couple had been married for 54 years.
