Owen Wilson and Travis Scott are unlikely co-stars in the upcoming Rolling Loud movie. As part of one of the comedy’s scenes, Wilson hit the stage in character during La Flame’s Rolling Loud Miami set last year.

The Wedding Crashers actor joined Apple Music 1’s The Zane Lowe Show on Tuesday (July 8), where he went in depth about joining Travis Scott at RL Miami, which caused him to have an “out-of-body experience” in the chaos of “FE!N.”
“My two boys were there, and I think it helped having them there because I knew I couldn’t back out of it,” recalled the actor, who is dad to Ford (with ex Jade Duell) and Finn (with trainer Caroline Lindqvist); he also has a daughter from a third relationship. “It was scary going up there, and I was talking to Travis’ kind of hype man before I went on, and I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t expected to dance because I’m not a dancer.”
Wilson continued: “He gave me a shot and then it seemed like right in the next second, I turned and there’s Travis Scott walking back towards me. And then I was out there and it was an out-of-body experience and I found myself just, you know, yeah, the adrenaline.”
Footage from the performance found Wilson pleading with the crowd: “I’m feigning for more!”
The actor and Scott filmed a separate scene for the movie in the rapper’s hometown of Houston, and the duo got to bond while learning they had a mutual Hollywood friend in filmmaker Wes Anderson.
“It was nice when I met him because then we did a scene and he’s from Houston and he said that he loves Wes Anderson and I spoke with Wes and Wes said, ‘Yeah, Travis Scott sent me some of those shoes that he has.’ It would be funny to see Wes wearing those,” he joked to Lowe.
Rolling Loud is an upcoming R-rated comedy that also stars comedian Matt Rife, Sexyy Red, Ty Dolla $ign, Ski Mask The Slump God and Russ.
The film follows an overprotective father (played by Wilson) who attends Rolling Loud with his 13-year-old son, according to Deadline. The movie is written and directed by Jeremy Garelick.
