Owen Wilson Was Starstruck by Robert De Niro
Posted by Adam
OWEN Wilson was lost for words when he had to shoot alongside Robert De Niro for the 2000 comedy movie Meet The Parents.
The actor admits he even fumbled his lines due to nervousness.
“I have a strong memory of the first time I was in the scene with De Niro. I’m taking the family to my house, and showing this like great big house I have and I turn to talk about the house…I see De Niro’s face,” Owen recalled.
“It was the whole cast, but I just kind of froze up when I saw De Niro, and Ben Stiller started laughing cause he could see what was happening.
“None of my lines came out — it was just gibberish. I was like — I had to steel myself for the next takes and tell myself, ‘You’ve gotta get it together or you’ll get fired!’”
Wilson recently confirmed he’s going to make another Zoolander movie — and he wants Lady GaGa to be in it!
“I just saw him now and we’re talking about doing another Zoolander movie,” he said.
Wilson says the movie will likely happen soon.
“I think so. I think there’s a really good script and I think we’re going to do it,” he said. “I think that people will be happy with some of this new stuff we have.
“Lady GaGa has to be [in it].
“But she definitely could be… maybe she makes a good foil for Hansel.”
