Owen Wilson cuts a casual figure as he goes for a stroll in blue jacket and khaki trousers

He is one of Hollywood’s most successful actors with a film career spanning more than twenty-five years. 

And Owen Wilson appeared to eschew advice to stay indoors as he went for a stroll in Los Angeles on Monday after the state of California went into an effective lockdown.

The actor, 51, donned a blue bomber jacket and a matching T-shirt along with a pair of khaki trousers for the outing.

The Zoolander star completed his look for the day with a grey beanie hat and dark grey trainers. 

California residents are now being asked to stay at home unless absolutely necessary in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.

The state is trying to curb the rate of infections after cases were said to have doubled in just four days in some areas of the state.

It comes after Owen recently appeared on the most recent episode of Kevin Nealon’s YouTube series Hiking with Kevin.

The actor discussed why he has never guest-hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live, which recruits a different celebrity each week to host.   

He admitted: ‘I get really nervous with public speaking. I’ve never done any of those commencement addresses or Saturday Night Live just because I get too nervous.’

Although he’s never hosted, he did make a brief appearance on Weekend Update in 2016 with Ben Stiller as their Zoolander characters.

Meanwhile, Kevinwas a cast member on SNL from 1986 to 1995, serving as Weekend Update anchor from 1991 to 1994.

Owen revealed that his nerves also apply to red carpets: ‘I feel like it always gives me a bit of panic of, oh, are you going to have the right tie? Where is the cumberbund and cuff links? It just seems a little nerve-wracking.’

The film star moved to Hollywood with brother Luke Wilson and their friend Wes Anderson, launching their careers with the 1996 film Bottle Rocket.

Owen credits military school for him becoming an actor: ‘It was my roommate at military school who was good friends with Wes Anderson, and that’s how I ended up meeting Wes. So we would’ve never gotten into the entertainment industry.’

The Royal Tenenbaums star went to military school after being expelled from school and found it very restrictive: ‘I got kicked out of school for cheating… I had to ask permission to eat.’

But it appears to have paid off with his acting career, as he’s recently been filming on the Disney+ series Loki and the movie Marry Me with Jennifer Lopez.
