WILSON TO THE SHOW.

HOW ARE YOU?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>>.

>> THANK YOU, TBREATD TO BE HERE.

>> James: OWEN, I'M LEVING THIS LOOK, THIS IS REALLY NOT

WHAT I EXPECTED.

IS THIS WHO OWEN WILSON IS NOW?

>> THIS IS.

I LOST MY SUPER BOWL BET TO A FRIEND.

THAT I WANTED TO WEAR THE COWBOY HAT AND HE WAS SAYING NO, YOU

CAN'T WEAR THE COWBOY HAT IF YOU LOSE THE BET.

BUT THEN I WON IT BACK.

SO IN PICKLE BALL SO I WAS ABLE AT THE END TO WEAR THE COWBOY

HAT.

BUT I JUST FIND IT'S HARD TO BE IN A BAD MOOD IF I AM WEARING A

COWBOY HAT.

>> James: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, ACTUALLY.

I THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT.

>> I THINK FROM HERE ON OUT THIS MIGHT BE ALL ANYONE EVER SEES ME

IN IS A COWBOY HAT.

>> James: I AM NOT MAD AT IT.

SALMA, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> I UNDERSTAND.

I AM IN A BAD MOOD, I HAVE A RANCH AND MY FAVORITE THING IS

TO LOOK AT THE CHICKENS.

YOU CANNOT BE IN A BAD MOOD IF YOU ARE STAIRING AT CHICKENS.

SOO I KINT OF GET IT, COWBOY, CHICKENS,.

>> James: YOU CAN'T BE IN A BAD MOOD IF YOU ARE-- WELL,

THINK YOU CAN'T BE IN A BAD PAD IF YOU ARE WEARING A COWBOY HAT

STARRING AT CHICKENS.

I WOULD ALSO ARGUE YOU CAN'T NORTHBOUND A BAD MOOD IF YOU

HAVE A RANCH.

>> YES.

>> James: AND IT IS NOT EVEN YOUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

I WILL BE HONEST, SALMA, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS COMPLETELY THE

CHICKENS, I HAVE A FEELING.

>> IF, NO, NO, BECAUSE WHEN I'M NOT AT THE RANCH I LOOK AT THEM

ON THE INSTAGRAM.

>> James: SALMA, THE SUPER BOWL WAS YESTERDAY, IS THE SAWP

BOWL A BIG THING IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, IS THIS SOMETHING

THAT YOU WATCH?

>> NO, THROW.

>> SALMA, DO YOU KNOW WHO PLAYED IN THE SUPER BOWL.

>> THE TAMPA BUCCANEERS.

THE KANSAS CHIEFS.

>> James: THERE YOU GO.

>> YES.

>> YES.

>> James: LOOK AT THAT.

>> BECAUSE OWEN TAUGHT ME THIS.

I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT WE USUALLY WATCH SOCCER.

WHEN I WAS A TEEN I BELIEVE AGER MY FATHER WAS A FANATIC.

I NEVER LEARNED THE RAWLS THOUGH BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GO ACTUALLY

TO THE SUPER BOWL.

AND I FOUND IT VERY BORING BUT YOU GOT TO GO TO THE UNITED

STATES AND GO SHOPPING AND THE GUYS WERE ALWAYS CUTE.

SO WHEN EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT THE SUPER BOWL I WAS EATING HOT

DOGS, CHECKING THE GUYS, GETTING THEIR HOT DOGS, YOU KNOW, I WENT

TO ONE IN NEW ORLEANS, MAYBE TAMPA, AND MAYBE ANOTHER ONE, I

SHOULDN'T BE SAYING THIS, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER ONES LATER.

>> James: NOW WHEREABOUTS IN THE WORLD ARE YOU BOTH.

OWEN, WHERE ARE YOU ZOOMING IN FROM?

>> I'M ZOOMING IN FROM HAWAII.

>> AND I'M IN LONDON.

>> James: I LOVE THE CHEMISTRY YOU HAVE HERE, ARE YOU SO FAR

APART BUT YOU FEEL INCREDIBLY CONNECTED.

NOW THE MOVIE THAT YOU HAVE THAT IS COMING OUT, WAS IT YOUR FIRST

TIME WORKING TOGETHER, SALMA, DID YOU AND OWEN HIT IT OFF

IMMEDIATELY?

>> .

>> KIND OF, NOT IN THE WAY I EXPECTED BECAUSE I WAS VERY

EXCITED TO WORK WITH OWEN, HE IS A FANTASTIC ACTOR.

BUG FAN.

HE CAME TO MY HOUSE WITH THE DIRECTOR.

AND MIKE AND I HAD BEEN WORKING TOGETHER BUT NOW OWEN WAS

COMING.

AND WE WANTED TO REHEARSE ALL THE SCENES AND TALK ABOUT IT

VERY INTENTLY.

BECAUSE THE DIRECTOR AND I ARE QUITE INTENSE.

HE SHOWED UP AND SAID HELLO, DO YOU HAVE ANY FOOD.

AND HE WAS LIKE 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO I SAID YES, CAN I MAKE SOMETHING.

AND SO WE ARE TALKING AS WE ARE MAKING AND I GIVE HIM SOME FOOD

AND HE STARTS IDENTITYING AND HE WAS JUST, HMMMM, HMMMM, AND THEN

HE SAID IS THERE ANY MORE.

AND AS SOON AS HE WAS FINISHED WITH THE SECOND SERVING HE SAID

THAT WAS GREAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND HE STARTS WALKING OUT.

WE'RE LIKE NO, WE HAVE TO REHEARSE.

AND HE GOES NAH, I'M GOOD.

HE LEFT.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS ENTIRELY-- SHE MADE SOME GREAT,

ACTUALLY, GREAT GUACAMOLE AGE CHILE RELLENOS AND IT WAS REALLY

FANTASTIC FOOD.

BUT A LOT OF MY POWER AS AN ACTOR, JAMES, COMES FROM A FULL

BELLY.

AND SORT OF THE WAY AN ARMY MARCHS ON ITS STOMACH, I CAN'T

ACT WHEN I'M HUNGRY.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO JUST SORT OF SET THE TABLE RIGHT FROM

THE BEGINNING WITH THE DIRECTOR AND SALMA THAT LISTEN, IF YOU

ARE GOING TO WANT MY BEST, I'M GOING TO NEED TO KEEP THIS

GUACAMOLE AND CHILE RELLENOS COMING.

>> James: I'M SURPRISED THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU HAD MET

GIVEN YOUR INCREDIBLE CAREERS.

YOU NUS HAVE-- MUST HAVE THIS SO MANY FRIENDS IN COMMON?

>> THANK, WE WERE SURPRISED TOO, BECAUSE WE HAVE LIKE A BROTHER

IN COMMON, WE'RE BOTH REALLY GOOD FRIENDS WITH WOODY

HARRELSON.

AGE SO WE HEARD A LOT ABOUT EACH OTHER BUT SHOW WE NEVER MET.

AND EVEN ONE TIME IT WAS WOODY'S BIRTHDAY AND HE DOESN'T REALLY

USE AIR CONDITIONING IN HIS HOUSE.

AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE RECORD-BREAKING HOT DAYS IN L.A

AND IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY AND WE WERE LIKE 25.

AND WITH HE WERE MELTING.

EVEN THE MEXICANS WERE MELTING IN HIS PLACEMENT HE SAID THAT'S

IT, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE.

LET'S GO TO OWEN'S HOUSE.

AND OWEN WAS NOT IN L.A SO WE KIND OF JUMPED THE FENCE

AND THEN HE KNEW HOW TO GET IN, HE HAD A KEY OR SOMETHING.

BUT ALL THESE PEOPLE STARTED, AND THAT IS IS WHEN WE

CELEBRATED WOODY'S BIRTHDAY, IN OWEN'S HOUSE THAT WAS WITHOUT

OWEN.

BUT IT WAS GREAT, GREAT HOUSE BY THE WAY.

>> James: OWEN, WERE YOU AWARE THAT WOODY USED YOUR HOUSE FOR

PARTIES?

>> WELL, NO.

IT WAS ACTUALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS

RUN OUT.

YOU ABOUT I MEAN I THINK IT WAS A BREAKING AND ENTERING.

I ACTUALLY DID FIND OUT WHEN I CAME BACK, HE CLAIMED HE LEFT A

MESSAGE TELLING ME BUT I NEVER GOT IT.

BUT WHEN I DID GET BACK THERE WAS, I WAS KIND OF WALKING DOWN

THE HALLWAY AND I NOTICED THAT'S NOT A PICTURE THAT I PUT UP.

AND IT WAS A PICTURE OF WOODY AND HIS FAMILY.

AND HE HAD HUNG IT ON MY WALL AND HE SAID THE HOUSE WAS JUST

CRYING OUT FOR IT.

SO YEAH, THAT IS HOW WE BUSTED HIM.

>> James: I LOVE THAT.

NOW YOU BOTH HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON.

THIS IS, THIS YEAR IS YOUR 25th ANNIVERSARY OF BOTH OF

YOUR FIRST MOVIES.

OWEN WASES YOUR BOTTLE ROCKET WHICH YOU ALSO WROTE AND WAS

DIRECTED BY WES ANDERSON.

AND WE HAVE THIS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PHOTO WHICH IS A

BEHIND OF SCENES PHOTO OF YOU AND WES.

TALK TO ME, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IN THIS IF THE OWE?

>> WELL, THAT WAS, MY MOTHER ACTUALLY TOOK THAT PICTURE.

AND WE HAD BEEN OUT IN LOS ANGELES FOR ABOUT A YEAR WORKING

WITH JIM BROOKS TRYING TO GET SONY PICTURES TO GIVE US THE

GREEN LIGHT.

AND THIS WAS THE DAY THAT THEY FINALLY GOT THE GREEN LIGHT THAT

THEY WERE GOING TO ALLOW US TO GO BACK TO TEXAS AND MAKE BOTTLE

ROCKETS.

>> OWEN WHAT IS IN YOUR HAND.

CAN I NOT SEE FROM HERE, WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING.

ARE YOU NOT TEXTING ALREADY AT THAT TIME BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE

THAT.

>> James: IT IS A FOLDED UP COWBOY HAT.

HE JUST RIPPED IT OFF.

>> FOOD, HE'S EATING.

>> James: AND SALMA, YOUR FIRST STARRING ROLE WAS

DESPERADO.

YOU HAD BEEN A BIG SOAP OPERA STAR IN MEXICO BEFORE THAT.

AND THAT FILM WAS MADE BY ROBERT RODRIGUEZ, HOW DID HE FIND YOU

FOR THAT ROLE?

>> HE FOUND ME COMPLAINING ON SPANISH TELEVISION, BUT IN

UNIVISION SO IT WAS IN THE UNITED STATES BUT IN SPANISH.

ACTUALLY, STARTED COMPLAINING THE HOST WAS MAKING FUN OF PE

BECAUSE I WAS A SOAP STAR IN MEXICO AND HI COME TO THE UNITED

STATES.

AND I WAS AN EXTRA.

SO I HAD TO BREAK IN TO FILM-- AND EVERYBODY, I WAS KIND

OF THE LAUGH STOCK OF MY COUNTRY BECAUSE I WAS QUITE FAMOUS.

AND THEY SAID IT IS NEVER-- WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF.

ARE YOU RUNNING FROM THE LAW THERE OR WHAT.

THIS IS NOT A BELIEVABLE STORY THAT YOU WOULD BE DOING THIS,

THERE IS NO ROAD FOR YOU HERE.

THERE IS NO ROLE FOR LATINAS THAT ARE IMPORTANT ROLES, YOU

KNOW, THEY ARE SMALL ROLES AS A PROSTITUTE, A-- AND I SAID NO,

BUT THERE WILL BE.

AND HE SAID HOW-- NO, THERE WON'T.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE.

AND I SAID I DON'T KNOW BUT I WILL FIGURE IT OUT AND I WILL

MAKE SURE THERE ARE.

AND I STARTED TALKING ABOUT WE'RE SO MANY, SOMEBODY IS GOING

TO FIGURE OUT THAT THERE IS A MARKET AND IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND HE SAID IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AND I SAID I WILL MAKE IT

HAPPEN.

AND SO THAT, SO PIE FACE GOT STUCK IN IT, SO MY THEY SAID OH,

PERFECT FOR MY ROLE AND HEARD ME COMPLAINING.

AND SO IT WAS KIND OF THE PART OF THAT HE WAS LACKING FOR, THE

PERSONALITY THAT HE SAW, AND THAT IS YOU HAD I GOT MY FIRST

BREAK.

>> James: I LOVE THAT STOREE LOOK AT THAT, WHAT AN

INSPIRATIONAL STORY.

THAT IS FANTASTIC.

OWEN HAS EVEN TAKEN THE HAT OFF.

HE'S GONE, THAT STORY HAS MADE ME HAPPY ENOUGH, I DON'T NEED

IT.
