In a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, actor Owen Wilson made a surprise appearance, and the audience couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between him and a certain long-lost twin. The talk show host, Ellen Degeneres, wasted no time in bringing up this uncanny resemblance, and the audience erupted in applause.
During the chat, Ellen asked Owen about his recent go-kart race with Vince Vaughn, his co-star in the movie “Wedding Crashers.” Owen seemed slightly disappointed with the outcome of the race, and Ellen shared a clip of the photo finish to refresh his memory. In the clip, both Owen and Vince can be seen racing towards the finish line, but Vince ultimately crosses it first.
Owen revealed that he initially thought he had won the race until the last moments. He described the intense moments leading up to the finish line as a “Speed Racer Racer X moment” and reminisced about the excitement and close competition. However, he playfully accused Vince of cheating by cutting him off and pushing him into the side rail.
Ellen, always ready with her witty remarks, acknowledged that such incidents are part of racing and shared her own experience with go-karts. Owen explained that the low height of the go-karts made him change his mind at the last minute about racing against Vince and Ellen. He admitted that he got scared and decided it was best to call the race instead.
Switching gears, Ellen then turned their attention to the viral visual similarity between Owen and a mysterious person that someone had brought to her attention. Displaying the image on a monitor, Owen and the audience couldn’t help but notice the resemblance. Both Owen and Ellen expressed their flattery at being compared to each other, jokingly suggesting they should play brother and sister in a movie.
The chat took another interesting turn as they discussed Owen’s upcoming film, “Wedding Crashers.” Owen shared that the movie explores the idea that weddings are a prime opportunity to meet new people, with the assumption that attendees, particularly women, are more open and agreeable. He confessed that he had thought this way on occasion, attributing it to the notion that women may feel a sense of urgency to take advantage of the event.
Ellen loved this concept and playfully mentioned that crashing parties, including weddings, is something many people have attempted. She emphasized the movie’s focus on making the most of these situations while they last. Owen added that the film was shot in Baltimore and Los Angeles, and the experience of attending various weddings for the movie made him contemplate the idea of marriage differently in different locations. He humorously conceded that being near a lake in Baltimore made him consider the benefits of being married, unlike his usual mindset in Los Angeles.
As the conversation wrapped up, Ellen cheekily teased Owen about his frequent visits to Los Angeles for movie shoots, suggesting that it might eventually lead to marriage. Owen, in good spirits, admitted that he does want to get married someday, leaving the audience with a hopeful outlook for his romantic future.
With Owen Wilson‘s unexpected appearance and the delightful banter between him and Ellen Degeneres, this episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show was nothing short of entertaining. The audience enjoyed witnessing Owen’s candidness and his humorous take on go-kart races and wedding crashing, all while showcasing his charm and undeniable talent.
