Owen Wilson’s Nose (And 9 Other Hollywood Imperfections Explained)

So you're just hanging out, watching a movie with a bunch of friends - nothing unusual to these proceedings at all. And then, woah, you're suddenly distracted. And not because the movie is bad and your attention is waning and you find it hard to sit still for two hours, but because you've noticed something about an actor on-screen. Is that thing you've noticed actually part of them, or is it something they've adopted for the sake of the movie? Because Owen Wilson's nose really does look like that, but Brad Pitt's neck scar in Inglourious Basterds is just part of an unexplained backstory.

In Hollywood, Owen Wilson’s nose is perhaps the most famous of its kind. An unashamedly messy affair, Wilson’s nose appears as a big, twisted lump, bent in seemingly every direction, almost like a knot that might happily stick out from the trunk of an old tree. Surely this can be nothing else but the result of several breakages?

You’d be right in saying so, given that Owen Wilson has reportedly broken his nose on two separate occasions. The first was during a high school scuffle, and the second was playing football with friends. Renowned for almost always declining to discuss his nose, Wilson once spoke out about his trademark snout, saying: “You know, probably my nose wouldn’t have been that great even if it hadn’t been broken.”
