May 29, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Actor Owen Wilson said that he is kind of pessimist and skepticism comes naturally to him. He confessed that despite the fact that he occasionally looks at things with a positive frame of mind, he generally ends up having morbid notions about them.
Wilson blamed his Irish background for the dark side of his personality. He added that he was always anxious about his future as an actor and thought about what’s going to happen to his career.
The actor, who was expelled from St. Mark’s School of Texas while he was a tenth grader for stealing his teacher’s textbook to aid him in his homework, said that he was a rebellious teenager. He said that he was a troublesome kid, who hated studies and liked to mess around. He was later sent to the New Mexico Military Institute by his parents.
Wilson, who’s also a writer, was nominated for an Oscar for the Best Original Screenplay for “The Royal Tenenbaums’, for which he collaborated with Wes Anderson. His first acting break came in 2000 with the comedy action hit Shanghai Noon, co-staring Jackie Chan. He co-starred in as many as nine films with long time friend Ben Stiller.
His much collaboration on super hit comedy films led to media making him a part of the Frat Pack, along with the likes of other comedy actors such as Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell.
