He gained further recognition for his roles in films such as “Rushmore” (1998), “Legally Blonde” (2001), and “Old School” (2003).

Luke Wilson Revealed Working With Family Can Be Both Good And Bad

Not only do Luke and Owen Wilson have a history of working together, but Andrew Wilson can also be added to that equation. The brothers have all worked together in the past. However, Luke revealed that the situation can be a bumpy one, especially when the trio doesn’t agree on something. Luke saw that firsthand.

He revealed with People, “Owen basically said he was done with the scene, and we didn’t feel like we’d gotten it,” Luke said at the time.

“So Andrew is like, ‘You’re done? You’re not going to do it again?’ [He] looks at me and I’m like, ‘I can’t, you’re bigger than he is, just kick his ass. Just kick his ass, man.'”

On the flip side, the familiarity and similar taste did make things easier in terms of the work on-screen. “It made things easier,” said Luke. “[We] just have the same kind of sense of humor. It’s great to be so close to people you’re working with.”

As for Owen’s current success, Luke admitted he still struggled to understand Loki and what it entails.

“I had it explained to me a number of times. Never got the plot of it,” he added. “But no, we actually did get to live together for a little over a month and it was actually very fun and yeah it was funny for me to be working for DC and doing a superhero show and then Owen was playing this character Mobius on Loki.”

This statement signals are next question. What was it like for the brothers to reunite at home?

As expected, living with Luke had its ups and downs. For the most part, the two got along, and it brought back memories. However, there were some iffy moments as well.

Owen revealed “It was fun. It all comes rushing back to you, what you love about the guy and then what can also drive you crazy,” Owen revealed.”It was nice that we were both there working on things and you have someone to go to dinner with and watch games with, and argue with. There was a lot of arguing,” he added.

As for the neater is of the two, Owen didn’t hesitate with his response.

“I think it depends on who you ask and since you’re asking me I’ll say I’m the neat freak and Luke was the slob.”

It was clearly a good time between Luke and Owen, and quite the experience.

Luke Wilson had his fair share of fun, and that included nights at the Playboy Mansion. However, one incident at the mansion ended in complete disaster after Wilson named dropped his brother. Luke made mention that Owen was his extra guest and once it was revealed that he wasn’t, and it was a friend instead, Luke got banned by the mansion for a couple of months.

He revealed, “I got DNA-ed from the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. That means “do not admit” – that’s their special word. I tried to get a friend in and I’d shown up and they said ‘Who are you with’ and I’m like ‘I’m with my brother Owen’ and they’re like ‘We need to see him. It was actually my friend Eckelman, who doesn’t look anything like Owen.”

“I was not allowed to go there for a year and a half. I had to make kind of a tearful phone call to Mary, the woman who kind of runs the operation. I said, ‘Mary what I did was stupid. It was wrong. Hef’s [Hugh Hefner] been so generous to me…’ I actually did, I think, cry on the telephone!”

Owen didn’t comment on his brother’s brief ban, but we assume he had a good laugh about the ordeal.

Both Luke and Owen Wilson have left a significant impact on the film industry through their talent and contributions to various genres, showcasing their versatility as actors.
