Owen Wilson Biography

- Wilson did not graduate from The University of Texas at Austin. He is two courses (he has said Math and Spanish in an interview) shy of a degree.

- Wilson cut his chin and had to get stitches during the making of The Haunting in the scene where his character Luke is attacking the portrait of Hugh Crane with a candlestick.

- Wilson usually declines to discuss the source of his distinctive-looking nose, which was clearly broken at one time. The broken nose was apparently the result of a football injury attained while on the football team in high school (all three Wilson brothers had played high school football, the elder Andrew with the greatest success).

- Wilson and his brother Luke were originally meant to play the Malloy brothers in Ocean's Eleven, but dropped out to make The Royal Tenenbaums.

- Wilson is a fan of Chelsea FC (England soccer club).

- Wilson didn't intend to be an actor, writing is his passion.
