Hollywood is full of some quality talent, however, it's quite rare to have celebrity siblings conquer the film industry, and alas, the Wilson brothers did just that. Owen and Luke Wilson have appeared in countless films that just about anybody can recognize. From 'Zoolander', 'Wedding Crashes', all the way to 'Legally Blonde', Luke and Owen Wilson have certainly made their mark. While they join the ranks of the Hemsworth and Franco brothers, Luke and Owen share a special bond when it comes to their careers.
The duo first debuted in the same film! Not only was it just any film, but it was one that Owen Wilson wrote, 'Bottle Rocket', in 1996. This marked the start of both of their careers, which would only go on to be extremely successful. Although they've had incredible careers, fans have always wondered whether the two get along or not?
Do The Wilson Brothers Get Along?
Luke and Owen Wilson have been acting for well over 25 years! The duo first came to prominence in 1994 after working on and appearing in Wes Anderson's, 'Bottle Rocket'. This was the inspiration used for Owen and Wes to write the piece from a short film, to a featured film! The duo successfully wrote a script and released the film in 1996, which starred both Owen and Luke. From then on, the two managed to earn more and more prominent roles, including Owen's appearances in 'Wedding Crashers', 'Marley & Me', and 'Night At The Museum'.
Luke has also had groundbreaking success, appearing in numerous films such as 'Legally Blonde', 'Vacancy', and 'The Family Stone'. While Owen has taken on more comedic roles, Luke finds himself as the love interest in many rom-com and drama films. This set the two brothers apart, which evaded them from having to endure countless comparisons like the Franco and Hemsworth brothers often face. Although this was never an issue, that doesn't mean the two always get along professionally!
The two have only appeared in a handful of films together, and it isn't by accident. Luke Wilson spoke with People Magazine regarding the two working together, and revealed that it can go be "both good and bad". While they can have different opinions on certain scenes and takes, the duo has what they call a synergy that "makes things easier", said Wilson. This doesn't only occur between Luke and Owen, the two also have an older brother, Andrew, who writes and directs films!
The trio worked together on 'Henry Poole', and it appears as if Andrew gets the final say in these situations. Luke revealed that when the three brothers have disputes, the "biggest one" usually gets their way. Although they can have disagreements, the Wilson brothers have a special bond in their personal lives and have nothing but love and respect for one another, which is exactly how you'd think they'd be together.
