What Happened to Owen Wilson’s Nose?
In an interview, Owen revealed that his oddly shaped nose came about as a result of two separate incidents. The first incident happened when he was in high school, as he inadvertently ended up in a fistfight.
It left him with a broken nose as he was punched right in the face. The second break occurred during a touch football game with a few of his buddies. These two incidents left his nose with a bent and out-of-place look. Rather than being a detriment to his career, his nose only served to expedite it.
