10 Upcoming Movies With Actors Like You’ve Never Seen Them Before

10. Owen Wilson - Paint

Owen Wilson will star in Brit McAdams' upcoming comedy Paint, and while you might assume from this single image that he's playing Bob Ross in a biopic about the beloved host of The Joy of Painting, that's actually not quite the case.

Rather, Wilson is actually playing a fictional character by the name of Carl Nargle, albeit one clearly heavily inspired by Ross.

Nargle is a legendary TV painter whose livelihood is threatened when the network hires a younger painter to save the channel's flagging ratings.

Given that Wilson hasn't varied up his look all that much throughout his storied career - he usually just looks like a pretty regular dude - it's undeniably jarring to see him kitted out in a bouffant perm, cowboy shirt, and jeans.

While it'd be a stretch to call him unrecognisable here, it is nevertheless a totally unexpected new look for the actor like we've never seen before. Even so, it's incredibly easy to imagine Wilson slinking effortlessly into the role of the serene, laid back artist.
