Interview with Owen Wilson: 5 Questions on His Hollywood Journey
Owen Wilson is diving into the world of golf in his new role in the Apple TV+ comedy Stick, set to release on June 4. While his golf swing might not be as sharp as Scottie Scheffler’s, Wilson, 56, is excited to explore the mental challenges of the sport. Playing Pryce Cahill, a former pro golfer facing a midlife crisis, Wilson’s character finds new purpose when he meets Santi, a young golf prodigy.
The dynamic between Pryce and Santi sets the stage for an inspiring journey to the U.S. amateur championship, offering a feel-good story with an underdog twist, much like other Apple TV+ favorites like Shrinking and Ted Lasso. Pryce’s character resonates with Wilson, who sees the opportunity to mentor a young talent as a chance to make a meaningful impact in someone’s life.
As Wilson embraces this new role, he reveals a personal connection to the world of golf. Despite feeling intimidated by the sport in the past, he’s now diving in headfirst, drawing inspiration from his own family’s competitive spirit. And when it comes to choosing between Tex-Mex and Texas barbecue, Wilson’s heart lies with Tex-Mex, with favorite spots like Mi Cocina and Joe T. Garcia’s topping his list.
Looking ahead, Wilson reflects on his Dallas roots and dreams of creating a Texas-based movie, possibly delving into the world of football, a sport close to his heart. With a wealth of memories and experiences to draw from, Wilson is excited to explore storytelling that captures the essence of his hometown.
As Wilson navigates his latest role and explores new horizons in the world of golf, fans can expect to see a blend of humor, heart, and personal growth in Stick, a comedy that promises to be both entertaining and inspiring.
