Owen Wilson talks about his kids' crazy dreams!

Owen Wilson recently spoke about his experiences as a father on the talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on June 2, 2025. The actor, known for films such as "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Cars", speaks openly about his life with his three children, the different dynamics and challenges he faces.

Wilson has a son, Robert Ford Wilson, who is 14 years old, with his ex-girlfriend Jade Duell. His second son, Finn Lindqvist Wilson, was born while Wilson was living in cooperative co-parenting with Caroline Lindqvist. Finn is 11 years old and already has big goals, including wanting to become a DJ or opening a joke shop called Wilson's Wizzbangs. Wilson said that Finn has a thing for pranks and mentioned a prank gun that gives a little shock.

Special experiences with Lionel Messi

One of the most exciting experiences Wilson shared with his sons was attending a Los Angeles Football Club soccer game, where they met soccer star Lionel Messi. The actor recalled the moment Messi walked up to them and signed Ford's jersey. Wilson described his excitement about the meeting and admitted that he was even more excited about it than his children. He joked about receiving a hug from Messi and noticing the athlete's delicate skin.

Wilson is known for largely keeping his children out of the public eye. While he maintains a close bond with Ford and Finn, his relationship with his youngest daughter, Lyla Aranya Vongsvirates, from another relationship with Varunie Vongsvirates, remains uncertain. Lyla has never met her father, as Wilson confirmed paternity in 2018 but is not actively involved in her life.

Family life and challenges

Owen Wilson will turn 56 years old on November 18, 2024 and is an active father. He has a special relationship with Ford, which they have strengthened through various adventures, such as a trip to Sequoia National Park. Ford has a playful personality and appreciates Wilson's voice in the "Cars" film series. Finn, on the other hand, who also has a close bond with his father, shows a humorous interest in pranks and various ventures.

Lyla's mother, Varunie Vongsvirates, expressed disappointment at Wilson's lack of involvement in her daughter's life, despite him providing financial support. Photos of Lyla shared on social media show the abnormalities she shares with her father and have sparked public interest. Wilson has not publicly commented on his relationship with Lyla or whether he plans to become more actively involved in her life.

Overall, the actor gives an honest insight into life as a father, which is characterized by beautiful but also challenging moments.
