Owen Wilson’s Youngest Son Sets His Sights on Stars and Fossils
Hold onto your latte—Owen Wilson’s youngest is already cooking up career dreams that are out of this universe and ancient as fossilized bones! In a recent chat with People magazine (July 2023 issue), the “Wedding Crashers” star couldn’t help but gush over his youngest offspring’s two wildly ambitious ambitions. According to Wilson, the kiddo is torn between suiting up as an astronaut and wielding a brush as a paleontologist. Yes, you read that right—outer space versus prehistoric digs. And if that isn’t the most exhilarating parental plot twist of the year, I don’t know what is!
During an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” (as reported by Dotdash Meredith’s exclusive feed), Owen spilled the tea: “He’ll say, ‘Dad, I want to go to Mars,’ and then he’ll pivot, ‘Or maybe I’ll uncover a new dinosaur species!’ ” I nearly choked on my biscotti hearing that! The proud papa went on to share that his mini-me has been devouring science documentaries like they’re oatmeal cookies—pint-sized curiosity on caffeine, anyone? Sources close to the family confirm that while big brother has more traditional plans (think baseball coach or video-game designer), the younger Wilson boy is on a different trajectory entirely.
What’s truly endearing is how Owen jokes he might need to pitch in as a chaperone for meteorite hikes one day or help label T. rex bones in a museum exhibit. According to Entertainment Tonight, Owen even teased that family vacations could double as both stargazing retreats and fossil-finding expeditions. I mean, can you imagine sunbathing on Mars while brushing sand off a triceratops skull? Talk about multitasking goals! (Side note: where do we sign up for that family trip?)
This dynamic duo of dreams isn’t just cute parent-kid banter—it’s a testament to nurturing imagination. As Owen told People, he’s all about encouraging his sons to chase whatever lights up their little hearts. And if that heart happens to beat in zero gravity or pound through a Jurassic jungle, hey, go big or go home, right?
What’s next for Team Wilson? Will we soon see a junior astronaut helmet autographed “To Dad, Love You to the moon and back”? Or a framed fossil sketch labeled “Future Paleontologist”? Only time (and maybe NASA or the Natural History Museum) will tell. I swear I could ramble on about this all day—but first, I need another hit of coffee. Whew, that was a lot of adorable ambition to digest!
