So, what happened to Owen Wilson's nose?

In a 2001 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Owen discusses his iconic nose and how it became crooked. Owen broke his nose twice, both times before he entered an acting career. First, he injured his nose as a teen during a fight at St. Mark's High School in Dallas, Texas. The second time he injured his nose was the result of a football injury.

At the time, he divulged to the L.A. Times how frequently people commented on his nose, telling him it looked, "kind of odd, disfigured," but Owen himself was unbothered. In fact, he remarked, "my nose wouldn't have been that great even if it hadn't been broken."
