Owen and Luke Wilson are, between them, monopolising the comedy film
industry.
Luke recently suffered a similarly embarrassing 'mom moment' as his brother when he tried
to explain one of his new projects, Barry Munday. Luke plays the title
role whom is a complete womaniser and wakes one morning to find that he has been
castrated. On top of that comes a paternity suit from a woman he doesn't
remember sleeping with.
Luke said, "It was the first time I had difficulty describing a movie to my
mother. When I told her about it, I tried to cough my way through the
conversation."
Luke's next released film is My Super Ex-Girlfriend, co-starring Uma
Thurman. In it, his character inadvertently starts dating superhero G-Girl who
ends up being an over possessive girlfriend who he then tries to dump.
He states that it has been one of his hardest roles to date; that the premise
was so unbelievable that he "had to draw on all of (his) acting training," to
get him through. The main problem being that who in their right mind would dump
Uma Thurman?
He said, "When we were shooting the movie, she would do something really
crazy and funny, which I find so attractive in a woman, and I'd have to remind
myself, 'Now remember, Luke, you want out of this relationship.'"
My Super Ex-Girlfriend is released on 4th August 2006 and also
co-stars Eddie Izzard as one of G-Girl's exes. He is rather happy with the role
and stated, "(It's) my first really comedic part. He could have just been the
bad guy, but it's also playing on his bitterness over being dumped. I constantly
attack her whilst being emotionally in love with her all the time. I do know
that feeling. I think everyone has gone through being dumped!"
