Owen and Luke Wilson: No but(t)s!

Acting brothers Owen and Luke Wilson both had to employ butt doubles for their latest films. Owen is currently starring with Kate Hudson in 'You, Me and Dupree' and Luke is sharing the big screen with Uma Thurman in 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend', but bad bottoms seem to run in the family. Owen's co-star Matt Dillon told British television show GMTV yesterday (21.08.06): "I don't know what's wrong with his butt because I didn't pay any attention to it. I truly don't know what that was all about." Owen, 37, could have felt inadequate because 'You, Me and Dupree' also stars Michael Douglas who famously bared his taut cheeks in 'Basic Instinct'. His brother Luke recently revealed he took a long time picking his replacement butt. Luke, 34, said: "What they do is they give you photos of different guys' backsides and have you pick one out. "I found myself poring over the Polaroids and saying, 'I like that one but it doesn't have quite the pizzazz I want for this scene.' Or, 'This one's good, but it's too muscular.' I've got a little bit of damage back there. As you get a little older, you get little dents and indentations. You want to act cool about it when you eventually say, 'I like this guy's a**.'"

A Hollywood butt double costs around $500 for an eight-hour day, with an extra charge for naked cheeks.
