Luke is in the new Playboy! Here are a couple excerpts.
SOME SMART-ASS COMMENTS FROM THE REGULAR-GUY ACTOR ABOUT HIS BROTHER OWEN, UMA THURMAN AND THE JOYS OF BEING FAT AND ARROGANT
Question 17
PLAYBOY: Your characters in Old School and The Family Stone make some big mistakes while drunk. Just how much research does it take to prepare for these roles?
WILSON: I've definitely had too much to drink in my time. I grew up in a beer-drinking culture, but I've never been the wake-up-and-have-a-shot kind of guy. Wait -- do you mean do I drink on a movie set? Oh sure, I've done that. It definitely helps to loosen up. I would never tell a young actor to do that, but luckily not many young actors look for my advice. There's a fine line between being sloppy and just feeling relaxed. If you're doing a drunk scene all day, you can't start drinking at eight in the morning and keep it up till eight at night. At least I can't. But those last three hours? That's when I tell the director to shoot my close-up, because I'm gonna be bombed! And I'll give a heads-up to all my Teamster buddies: "We ain't goin' home, boys. We're hittin' the bars."

Luke Wilson says he got a skewered perspective of women from attending an all-boys school. “What we thought and what was real were two different things,” Wilson told Playboy magazine. “Yeah, we didn’t have a clue what we were talking about. It was like, ‘Girls really like it if they see you up in a sycamore tree, staring into their bedroom window.’ What the hell were we thinking?”
