Owen Wilson welcomed his first son about six weeks ago and he shares that fatherhood is exhausting, but he’s mesmerized by his new bundle of joy.
Owen compares his son, Robert Ford, to the legendary Steve McQueen:
He’s so cute; he becomes a little scene stealer when he comes in the room… He’s like Steve McQueen in ‘The Magnificent Seven’ where he didn’t have a lot of dialogue – you just gave him the camera and he could hold the screen.
“I feel like Ford is heading in that direction.”
His son was named after Owen’s dad, Robert, but he will go by his middle name of “Ford”. He joked about the confusion it might cause because of the Ford cars:
“His middle name is Ford. And he’ll probably go by Ford. It does occur to me at some point, probably, when he’s a little boy and he’ll be fidgeting and I’ll have to get him to do his homework… I’ll be like, ‘Ford! Focus!’ “
He joked about the tiring new job of being a dad:
“You look at every place now as a potential nap place. You’ve got to look for your chances to catch up.”
