Owen Wilson chats to us about Wonder, art, writing and more…
Wonder.
Already a hit in the US, the movie stars Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson.
But Ive been there, to the museum in Amsterdam.
Do you have a favourite Van Gogh painting?
Not particularly, Van Gogh.
Im more of a Dali fan.

Very trippy.
Have you been to any of the galleries in London while youve been here?
I went to go see the Basquiat show, over at the Barbican.
There was a good documentary on Basquiat recently.
I understand youre a fan of art.
I dont necessarily see a connection.
So that was the first thing I got was a Donald Judd piece that Tony Shafrazi helped me get.
But Im sure its there.
Obviously there are movies likeAnaconda, but…
I would see it more in Wes career.
True, but you were a big driver in Wes career.
You wrote the films with him.
I would say that my acting isnt art, but Id say his acting in quite a few movies.
And of course a movie is art.
So can dance be, also.
You referenced Brando there.
Im recognising expressions, and its like, I remember that.
I know that expression, because youve grown up seeing their work.
Or, Wait, theresThe Haunting.
Or, probably, he just said, Wow.
Ive been talking with Julia, confirming that was her experience also.
I never saw him be less than anything than just how I described him.
My kids are six and well getting on to be seven and four.
So I cant imagine them as teenagers.
My seven year old Facetimed me the other day.
Do you miss writing, by the way?
In fact, the couple of times that I havent felt that way has been a challenging work experience.
Owen Wilson, thank you very much!
Wonderis in UK cinemas now.
