10 Famous Actors Who Have Extremely Weird Tics In Every Movie

9. Owen Wilson Says "Wow" - A Lot

Owen Wilson, star of Shanghai Knights, The Royal Tenenbaums and Midnight in Paris, has complied quite an eclectic filmography - especially surprising since he's often lambasted for having a relatively small range. But maybe it's Wilson's reliance on a particular word that has led to critics calling him "samey." And that word, people, is "wow." Have you ever noticed how often Owen Wilson uses the word "wow" in his movies? Seriously. There's a wow moment in pretty much every single one, and not because the word happens to have been written into the screenplays for every Owen Wilson movie, but because the actor literally can't seem to help himself when it comes to saying it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anaGg47_aq8 Wow, indeed.
