Birth nameOwen Cunningham Wilson Birth information18 November 1968, Dallas, Texas, USA BioSelf-proclaimed troublemaker Owen Wilson grew up in Texas with his mother, Laura, a photographer; his father, an ad exec; and his brothers, Andrew Wilson (the eldest) and Luke Wilson (the youngest). Expelled from St. Mark's Academy in Dallas Texas in the tenth grade, Wilson finished his sophomore year at Thomas Jefferson School and then headed to a military academy in New Mexico. He then attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he met his future mentor and friend, Wes Anderson. They wrote a screenplay, Bottle Rocket (1996), and sent it to their family friend, screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson, who sent it to producer Polly Platt, who gave it to James L. Brooks, who gave the Texans $5 million dollars to make it into a feature film. Despite critical praise, Bottle Rocket (1996) only grossed one million dollars. After making the film, Wilson moved to Hollywood, setting up house with his two brothers and Anderson. Fairly quickly, Owen found himself acting in a series of big budget films that scraped the bottom of the critical barrel, such as the dreadful The Cable Guy (1996), The Haunting (1999), Anaconda (1997) and Breakfast of Champions (1999). This led to more work in slightly better fare, such as Shanghai Noon (2000), Meet the Parents (2000) and Behind Enemy Lines (2001). He's known not only for his nose, which has been broken several times, but also for his 'free wheeling ways' with a script. He co-wrote the film The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) with his oft partner Wes Anderson. He has been romantically linked with singer Sheryl Crow.

Hello there Boxwishers and welcome to another jam-packed week of movie-inspirations fun. Today we’re turning the tables on Johnny Depp’s bank robber John Dillinger and stealing His style with our look at the 1930s fashions from Public Enemies, and later in the week we’re soaking up the sun with Jennifer Aniston’s beach-ready style in Marley & Me. However, before we get to that, we’re rounding up today’s usual suspects and checking out what’s new on DVD. Along with the aforementioned doggie drama, there are jet-setting thrills in The International, religious recriminations in Doubt and Brit actor Tom Hardy’s transformation into the infamous prison inmate Charles Bronson in Bronson.
If you see… Marley & Me, a tender and charming real-life tale about the impact a dog makes to the lives of happy couple John and Jenny Grogan (played by Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston).

Jennifer Aniston's beloved dog doesn't like her to make new friends. The 40-year-old actress' pet pooch Norman accompanies Jennifer wherever she goes and joined her while she was filming hit movie "Marley and Me" - about a couple struggling to cope with the arrival of a badly behaved dog.
However, Norman avoided going on set too much because he was jealous of the pooches who were filming with his star owner.
Marke Forbes, the dog trainer on 'Marley and Me', told Bang Showbiz: "We really didn't mix the dogs very much. The last thing we wanted was the dogs to not get along or get distracted from what they were supposed to be doing on any given day. Norman was a very laid back pooch and would usually hang out at Jennifer's trailer."
Although Norman was wary of the other dogs, Jennifer - who starred opposite Owen Wilson in the movie,

Occasionally Hollywood cobbles together random members of the A-list to play family members on film, even if their genes obviously come from opposite ends of the earth. If the actors are good enough or if the chemistry is there, sometimes the combo can work, such as Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman as brothers in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead or Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor in Cassandra's Dream. Other times, it stretches credibility, such as Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman in The Darjeeling Limited. My all-time favorite oddball casting is in Sidney Lumet's Family Business (1989), with Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick playing grandfather, father and son. (Huh?) At the same time, there are actor combos out there
