It’s weird. Both Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson’s careers took a nose dive after Wedding Crashers, even though that movie did extremely well at the box office. Meaning their stardoms were still good enough to the general public. Maybe studio execs thought they were becoming too powerful
Owen Wilson was in a few decent gigs. Vince Vaughn vanished.
It's because Vaughn leveraged his stardom to go on his own douchebag comedy tour as an excuse to bang college girls. He became his old school character. He's too based for Hollywood.
Dude Dwight and Buck were in this? I'm gonna watch it now
waow
>Owen Wilson
he got some notable roles after
i mean, he works in almost every Wes Anderson movie, sovl as fuck
and Marley and Me made everyone cry
he good, he just doesn't want to do that much
yeah Owen Wilson turned into le indie film actor and it makes him a lot more respectable than other comedic actors, as for Vaughn it took him years but since TD hes been in a bunch of good movies like Dragged Across Concrete or the cell block one
Both Owen and Vince started out as indie/drama film actors/writer. Owen got into Hollywood because of films he made with Wes Anderson, his Oscar nomination for writing Royal Tennenbaums set the basis for him to have a clause in most contract that he can write his characters as he wants. Another of his early roles that got notice was in an Indy about a serial killer called The Minus Man. Vince had a prominent role as a version of himself in Swingers and went on to dramas like Broken down Palace and the Cell along with indies like Clay Pigeons. They both just became Hollywood sellouts. It ate away at Wilson, who dreamed of being an artist but took the soulless road, and Vince just aged, rapidly, out of being cool when fratboy humor became extremely uncool in the hipster era that overtook that SoCal vibe that was popular from 1998-2006.
>large numbers of people see it at the box office
>they don't like it
>movie does well but career suffers
Zoomer detected. People loved that movie. Constantly quoted by normies.
didn't owen wilson try to kill himself or something and that's what he's MIA? or was that luke wilson? regardless, midnight in paris 2011 is his best movie, though he's just bog standard owen wilson as usual.
You're right it was Owen. McConaughey replaced him in Tropic Thunder as Stiller's manager
I agree. Midnight in Paris is also my favorite woody Allen film with crimes and misdemeanors a close 2nd
Owen Wilson tried to commit suicide during a spiral of destructive partying after Wedding Crashers, an eerie parallel to his character's mental and emotional state in the second half of the film. The problem was that, like Heath Ledger and the Joker, Wilson embodied the flawed antihero John Beckwith with such total immersion that it left indelible scars. We almost lost him bros, and he's still a bit sort of schizo, sorta shellshocked when you see him interviewed, sort of like the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson (no relation.)
Like that model with the gross mole, it gave him character
Wedding Crashers was considered by many as far as Wilson could take things. They couldn't have been more wrong. When most people speak about his "Crashers" period, they mean the era of comedies targeted at the young male demographic.... but Wilson was just getting started.
It was a certain level of spectacle that made Wilson truly famous -- even to those with no interest in art.
But fame was never the point.
In spite of all his success, Wilson was still dissatisfied and what he did next was, for many, too extreme a sacrifice to make for art.
Didn’t the character he played in Darjeeling limited attempt suicide as well. Which was filmed right after his own attempt? What kind of humiliation ritual were they doing on this guy?
>like Heath Ledger and the Joker, Wilson embodied the flawed antihero John Beckwith with such total immersion that it left indelible scars.
Let this myth die already, Ledger fucking LOVED playing the Joker, he said as much in interviews. He had no trouble separating the character from himself. He died in the filming of some shitty fantasy family movie I won't bother looking up. If his career really did kill him it was because of how boring and soulless that role must have been.
Methheads will tell you they love smoking meth, doesn't mean it's not going to ruin their lives lol
Lmao he was a drug addict that OD'd. Not very complicated. Nothing to do with the going insane playing the fucking Joker. That whole narrative is absurd and probably started in a marketing department.
Retards
How did he ever have a career as an A-lister with that fucked up dicknose?
Charisma
Men like to watch funny men that they feel they are as or more handsome than. Women probably find it distinctive along with loving his personality
Pretty boy wasn't his typecast.
Zoomers don’t like these types of movies
their career tanked after that stupid fucking movie about working at google. then vince got the true detective gig a few years later and vincepoasting was kino-in-itself.
Let's not forget what his actual best movie is.
It's between this and Behind Enemy Lines
god Owen's wet hair look is so ingrained in my head I must've seen it in numerous movies
Nah. It's Zoolander, followed by The Royal Tenenbaums.
A common issue for actors/actresses who suddenly get big after a hit movie or win an award is that they get priced out of the type of roles they used to get. All of a sudden, their rates double/triple than what they used to be and producers would rather pay a more established actor that kind of money or get someone a lot cheaper.
Maybe Vaugh got fed up with Hollywood? He's still acting, but he's also producing things, btw.
IICR, he's a Libertarian and he's in good terms with Trump (a lot of the Frat Pack are I think). That's enough to blacklist you in Hollywood.
