Owen Wilson Used to Work at a Newspaper
Posted by Adam
Owen Wilson worked at a newspaper before he played a journalist in new film Marley And Me.
Wilson – who stars alongside Jennifer Aniston in the flick, about a real-life couple and their badly behaved pooch – revealed he had experience of a newsroom before he began his acting career.
He says, “I actually worked as a kid at the Dallas Times Herald, because my dad had worked with [American journalist] Bill Moyers and then his son was working at the Times Herald and I got a job as a runner one summer.
“And as a kid it was really exciting to be around in the summertime doing that.
“We filmed at the Florida Sentinel and then in Philadelphia we went to the actual newsroom.
“Talking with John Grogan, I picked up the sense of humour that some of those guys have.”
