Pimp of the Week: Owen Wilson
19Feb10
Owen Wilson dazzled me as a pot-smoking male model (mimbo to the max) in Zoolander. And then he stole my heart when he co-wrote and co-starred in the eternally iconic film, The Royal Tenenbaums. And now Owen Wilson is rumored to be starring in Woody Allen’s next movie with French first lady and anti-monogamist, Carla Bruni.
Wilson calls himself a bad boy, and, like any proper pimp, he knows how to turn nothing into something. At age 16 he was expelled from his straight-laced Dallas prep school. But then he found a way to make a career out of dicking around with his best friend, Wes Anderson, and his brother, Luke. They turned 5 million dollars of Texan petty cash into the well-reviewed, poorly received film, Bottle Rocket.
By some ignorant film-goers, Owen Wilson is known for his distinctive nose, which was been broken many times, but I think it’s just another sign of a life lived to the max.
