Owen Wilson
Wilson was born in Dallas, in November 1968, Texas, the son of photographer Laura Wilson (née Cunningham), and Robert Andrew Wilson, an advertising executive and operator of a public television station.[1] His family is Irish American and Roman Catholic.[2][3] While living in Dallas, Wilson attended The Lamplighter School, which he revisited in 2005, and St. Mark's School of Texas, from which he was expelled when, in the tenth grade, he stole his teacher's textbook in an attempt to help him finish his math homework quicker.[4] Wilson also attended his senior year in high school at the New Mexico Military Institute.
In 1991, Wilson moved to Los Angeles with brothers Luke and Andrew to pursue acting careers.
<b>Wise words:</b> "At about the same age as I was interested in petrified wood, I was just fascinated with this dumb idea that we only used 10 percent of our brains. I was always thinking: Man, if I could only use 20..."
