Luke Wilson
Luke Wilson born in Dallas in Texas in 1971. The son of an advertising executive and a photographer, was raised with two brothers, Owen Wilson (the middle one) and Andrew Wilson (the eldest one). The three would all go on to make their careers in film, with Luke Wilson discovering his love of acting while a student at Occidental College. In 1993, the brothers Wilson collaborated with Wes Anderson to make Bottle Rocket (1994), which was initially a 13-minute short.
Besides being the younger brother of Owen Wilson and the former boy toy of both Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke has appeared in box-office hits like Charlie's Angels (2000), Old School (2003), and Anchorman (2004). In 2006, he graced the screen with Uma Thurman in My Super Ex Girlfriend.
