No Oscar for Owen Wilson
Sep 1, 2006, 13:45 GMT
Owen Wilson doesn't want to win an Oscar.
The 'You, Me and Dupree' star says the idea of receiving an Academy Award has never appealed to him because he's "not that type of actor".
He told BANG Showbiz: "Am I looking for my 'Rain Man' role? No.
"I'm not that kind of actor. I don't know that I have that desire in me, I don't really see myself as that kind of actor where I would disappear into a character."
He added: "Don't forget, I'm not a trained actor so I don't know if that's even a possibility but I could try. I could at least try a movie that wouldn't be full of big laughs."
Wilson also claims he knows when one of his films is going to flop.
The actor - best known for his roles in 'Wedding Crashers' and 'Starsky and Hutch' - says he developed the skill while filming 'Anaconda'.
He said: "I was on the set in Brazil one day with my co-star Ice Cube and we were watching 'Jaws'. We were about an hour into it and he turned to me and said, I think this is what we're trying to do.'
"We both paused for a minute and he turned to back to me and said, 'We're not coming anywhere close to this.' There was that sneaking feeling already that the film wasn't going to be another 'Jaws'."
