Here are some anecdotes about Luke. I'm sorry if y'all have already seen these! They were new to me, maybe they are new to others. They are from www.anecdotage.com/ Midget One day, Luke Wilson's father took him in to PJ Clarks, the legendary bar which once played host to many of New York's finest writers. At one point, he got up to visit the washroom, and was stopped by another patron on the way. "Are you a midget?" the man asked. No, Wilson replied. "Sure you are! You're a midget!" No, Wilson insisted, he was not. "Come on, let me buy you a drink, you little leprechaun!" The source of the confusion? Wilson was only five years old. Wily Wilson In June 2003, Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson appeared on the cover of People magazine. Though Wilson was wearing sunglasses, he appeared to be glancing down Kate Hudson's cleavage. Was he or wasn't he? Explained Wilson: "You wear sunglasses for a reason!" Nice Shot Luke Wilson was often confused with other actors. One day he found himself playing golf... badly. "Nice shot Arquette!" some kids called from the peanut gallery. Wilson's reply? "Thanks!" Big Fan One day in 2002, Luke Wilson was asked for an autograph by his Kenyan cab driver (in Manhattan). The driver (a "big fan") was very excited to have him in his cab. Wilson, for his part, was rather flattered and graciously obliged. "Wait a minute," the driver said, examining the signature. "You're not Andy Garcia!?"

Remi,
Thank you, your post made my afternoon break. I had
not read these before. I think what I like most about
the Wilson's is their sense of humor.

In addition to their sense of humor, it's their good manners that also characterize the Wilsons. Though Andrew, Luke, and Owen don't look anything alike (IMHO), people are always confusing them and addressing them by their other brother's name. But they never correct such mistakes. Apparently, they've been taught that to do so would be impolite. It has caused some humorous situations for them.

They were certainly raised to be very polite and courteous. I remember reading somewhere that Luke always lets a woman get on the elevator before he gets in and lets her out first. He truly is a gentleman!
Wouldn't you love to go to the Wilson's house for the holidays?? I'd love to see them all interacting! I think I read somewhere that their mother still makes them wash the dishes, etc. Good for her!

He's nice, but there's a little devil in him as well. I would LOVE to go to the Wilson's for the holidays! And men who wash dishes are the sexiest men on Earth!! Mrs. Wilson, you are awesome!!

Remi wrote: "...men who wash dishes are the sexiest men on earth." And: "Mrs. Wilson, you are awesome." Amen to both statements! But I'll bet, by their ages, she doesn't have to make them anymore. They probably do so automatically, without being asked.

Hi Texasgal! I bet you're right--they don't have to be asked to help out. I also bet they help out when they're invited as guests to someone's house as well. Luke would make the perfect boyfriend . . . sigh!

For all you single women out there... don't be fooled into thinking that your man will continue to wash dishes after your married! Get it in writing!! ;D Now, men who will volunteer to wash dishes for their Mom well into adulthood, not to mention fame, THAT is well beyond my wildest dream! What a turn on!! Psssst....I read an article about Luke and Owen playing HORSE to decide who does the dishes when they lived together. I bet they still fight over it at Mom's house, they just don't let her know it. Shhh... we'll keep it secret boys!

Get it in writing!! ;D The only thing you need in writing gals is the check that pays for the automatic dishwasher. Just promise him that while the machine is doing the work, there is plenty of time for other fun things to do... (you know riding bike, taking walks, another slice of dessert...) ;DHT
