I think it’s safe to say Owen Wilson is never far from controversy. From his absent parenting style to his secret famous brother, the internet really can’t stop talking about him.
But this week, he’s addressed the biggest controversy of them all…
Exactly why he says “wow” so much!
“His wow has been my text sound for a long time!” said one fan.
“Did anyone read that and think ‘WOW?'” joked another.

Remember Owen Wilson in Marley & Me?
Jennifer Aniston couldn’t have asked for a better partner, in that movie as Wilson proved he was total dad material.
So not a family man, then?
Even though Wilson has played many a role as the doting husband in real-life he has never been married.
Not the settling down type?
Although Wilson has had his fair share of love interests, the actor has never settled down. Wilson now has 3 children to 3 different women.
There’s nothing wrong with having children with multiple partners, so long as you still see each of them and support them as much as you can.
The strange thing with the Owen Wilson situation is that he does see his 2 sons. Robert Ford Wilson born in 2011, and Finn Lindqvist Wilson born in 2015… It’s just his daughter that he has no interest in having contact with.
Wilson was dating casually dating Varunie Vongsvirates for 5 years before they broke up.
When Varunie told Wilson she was pregnant he refused to believe the child was his. The court papers which were seen by RadarOnline revealed how horrendously Wilson treated his ex.
After Vongsvirates told Wilson about the pregnancy he denied he could be the father and changed his number.
Baby Lyla Aranya Wilson was born on September 10, 2018. Refusing to accept that he is Lyla’s father, Wilson paid nothing towards Varunie’s medical bills or diapers, baby clothes, bottles, crib, pram… nothing.
After Lyla was born, her mother made every attempt to contact Wilson and get him to come and see her.
He reacted by requesting a DNA test — which proved the baby was his, and meant Wilson needed to start paying child support…
His treatment of his baby momma so far has been pretty terrible… the thing is though, it gets worse.
Vongsvirates appears to have grown frustrated with Wilson constantly bagging father figure roles in the movies considering how absent he has chosen to be in his actual daughter’s life.
Fans can’t believe Wilson wants nothing to do with his daughter.
In the court papers, Vongsvirates filed for sole parental rights. Earlier papers revealed that Wilson had ticked the box requesting “none” under visitation rights. In his explanation, he wrote that he was “not certain if he is the parent.”
But despite having had a DNA test that proves he is Lyla’s dad he is still not interested in seeing her.
Having lost her mom 2 years ago, Vongsvirates and her sister, Ali, are extremely close. The mom-of-one frequently babysits her sister’s kids. The fact that Lyla is yet to meet her half-siblings and other cousins is an unnecessary tragedy.
Vongsvirates spoke out publicly, via Daily Mail to try and get Wilson to meet his daughter and said: “You should see your daughter, she’s incredible, you’re really missing out. She looks just like you.”
Vongsvirates can’t believe that Wilson won’t even take the time to meet his daughter. She said: “Lyla needs a father. It’s ironic how [Owen] keeps getting these father roles, he’s playing a father in his new movie, and he’s never met his own daughter.”
Since the courts proved that Wilson is the baby daddy he has been ordered to pay $25,000 a month in child support and $70,000 as a one-off payment towards Vongsvirates’ labor expenses.
We’re totally shocked!
Perhaps now the court papers have been released and people are canceling him left, right and center maybe he’ll stand up and tell his side… or better yet, maybe he’ll just go and meet his daughter.
Wilson has also recently gone viral for another reason…
Did you know he has a famous brother?
One person wrote: “Now I know why he looks so familiar!”
“Never thought about them being brothers!”
Another fan asked: “How did I not realise?”
“Why does this make so much sense? I always thought they looked similar,” added a third.
Yep, Owen Wilson’s brother is fellow actor Luke Wilson.
You may recognize him from classic movies like Legally Blonde and The Royal Tenenbaums.
Once you look at them, it’s kind of obvious.
One fan wrote: “Am I really old? I thought everyone knew this.”
But this week, Wilson has addressed what may just be the biggest controversy in his life …
That famous catchphrase!
On the Youtube channel Owenergy, the actor was asked if there are certain sayings he “tries to incorporate into movies.”
“Well yes, but they’re for my really committed fans. I throw out a little word, just sort of like a little wink and a nod to them,” he replied.
“It’s like those New Yorker [magazine] covers that the guy would write his wife’s name into the illustration.
“If you’re lucky enough to be one of those really committed fans, then I give you these little clues that are out there!” Wilson said.
