The actor revealed that his younger son Finn is interested in being a DJ or opening a prank shop
Wilson is dad to sons Ford, 14, and Finn, 11, and daughter Lyla, 6Owen Wilson's son has some interesting career goals.
During a Monday, June 2, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Wilson shared some rare insight into fatherhood. The 56-year-old actor is a dad to three kids: sons Ford, 14, and Finn, 11, and daughter Lyla, 6.
In particular, he revealed two jobs that Finn has been considering for the future.
"My youngest, first he wanted to be a DJ, and then he said he wanted to open a prank shop. He even had the name of the prank shop: Wilson's Wizzbangs. You know, he had the gun where you grab it and it could give you a little shock," Wilson shared.
He continued, saying, "I think there's an age that kids go through where they're really... you know, they love the idea of doing a prank," he said, prompting host Jimmy Kimmel to declare that he "[hadn't] graduated from that stage."
While on the show, Wilson also recalled attending a Los Angeles Football Club soccer game with his kids, where they met legendary soccer star Lionel Messi.

"We were so excited," he raved. "I am out of body. First of all, when he was leaving the field, it was like a John Hughes movie. Like Pretty in Pink. He looks over, and I'm like, 'Is he looking at me?! Is he looking at us?'"
He continued, recalling, "Then he starts coming over, and the next thing there he was. And signed Ford's shirt."
Wilson made it very clear that he was a fan, adding, "It's the most excited I've ever been to see someone."
The actor's day was made even better when he got a hug from the professional athlete. In fact, he even used the opportunity to brag a bit about having a better experience with Messi than his kids did.
"We were talking about that because the kids on the way home were like, 'Did you see he signed my shirt?' and 'He gave me a high five.' I was like, 'Guys, did you not see he hugged me?!' You know, classic middle child."
Wilson's big takeaway from hugging Messi was about his skin: "The first thing I felt when I hugged him is like... His skin is really soft."
"He's not just a great soccer player; he has beautiful skin," he added.
While he and his sons have attended a few soccer games together, the actor has largely kept them out of the spotlight. Wilson shares Ford with his ex-girlfriend Jade Duell, Finn with his once-trainer Caroline Lindqvist, and Lyla with Varunie Vongsvirates

Don Johnson Talks Smoking Weed in the White House and Reveals How Much Money He Made Gambling with a U.S. President
During a June 4 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Don Johnson opened up about his bond with former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush The actor revealed that he has smoked weed in the White House and that he gambled with Bush Johnson has visited the White House under every president since Carter was in officeDon Johnson has had interesting friendships with several U.S. presidents, and he has done some interesting things in their presence! During a Wednesday, June 4, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the 75-year-old Miami Vice alum shared that he has visited the White House under every president since the late Jimmy Carter was in office. The conversation started when host Jimmy Kimmel presented Johnson with a photo of himself with Carter, Chuck Leavell and Dickey Betts from 1975 at an Allman Brothers concert. "I don't remember that photo, but we were all stoned," Johnson said about the picture, which appeared to show Betts smoking. The actor was quick to clarify that he was not speaking about Carter, saying, "Well I don't know about him. I don't want to cast any aspersions on the former president. God rest his soul." However, Johnson clearly had a close bond with Carter. After working with the Allman Brothers on a concert during his 1976 presidential campaign, he said that they were invited to the White House. "Then the fun began," he said, prompting Kimmel to point out that "nobody has fun" at the White House. He then walked that back, saying, "I have heard Willie Nelson had fun there," referencing the fact that the country music star smoked marijuana with Carter's son on the roof of the building in the '70s. "Is that the kind of fun you had there?" he asked, clarifying, "Did you smoke at the White House?" Appearing slightly flustered, Johnson replied, "I don't know how to answer this. Well, yes ... I guess I did." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Another president that the star had a close bond with was the late George H.W. Bush. Johnson recalled representing the United States at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville with the former president, whom he described as "fantastic." "He was a great guy," Johnson gushed. Kimmel questioned if Bush was a stoner, which Johnson denied. However, he said that the president had another playful vice — gambling. "He wanted to gamble when we played golf out at Camp David. And so I took his money," he recalled to laughter and applause from the audience. "I'll tell you something else: He's a trash talker, and he ran into a buzzsaw because so am I." While he did win money from the world leader, Johnson clarified that "it wasn't that much." "Eighteen or 20 bucks," he told Kimmel, adding, "But that's the best 18 or 20 bucks you'll ever get." is now available in the Apple App Store!

However, in 2020, Carter clarified that it was actually with his son James Earl 'Chip' Carter III. "When Willie Nelson wrote his autobiography, he confessed that he smoked pot in the White House one night when he was spending the night with me," the former president said in the documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President. "And he says that his companion that shared the pot with him was one of the servants in the White House. That is not exactly true — it actually was one of my sons, which he didn't want to categorize as a pot-smoker like him." Read the original article on People

Ryan Lochte breaks silence on ‘difficult decision' behind divorce from wife Kayla Rae Reid
Famed Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is opening up about his divorce from wife Kayla Rae Reid after seven years of marriage. In the wake of the former Playboy model's divorce revelation Wednesday, the 12-time Olympic medalist broke his silence in a candid Instagram post, expressing that while the decision 'hasn't been easy,' he believes 'it's the right step toward peace and well-being' for himself and Reid. 5 Ryan Lochte and Kayla Rae Reid revealed their divorce in June 2025. WireImage 'I want to take a moment to acknowledge what Kayla shared. This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we've come to the difficult decision to end our marriage,' the 40-year-old Lochte penned. 'I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children. 'Although this decision hasn't been easy, I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for us both. I remain committed to healing, growth, and co-parenting with care and respect as we move forward separately.' 5 They have three children together. ryanlochte/Instagram Reid, who shares daughters Liv, 5, Georgia, 1, and 7-year-old son Caiden with Lochte, announced Wednesday she and the six-time Olympic gold medalist had gone their separate ways. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' she posted on social media. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life. I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.' 5 Ryan Lochte and Kayla Rae Reid tied the knot in 2018. kaylaraereid/Instagram The message from Reid came roughly two months after she filed for divorce on March 26, according to People, citing court records. 'Sometimes we face trials we didn't choose or see coming. And in those moments, we're forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children, and our future. I've come to the understanding that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself,' Reid added in her message. 5 Court records show Kayla Rae Reid filed for divorce in March 2025. kaylaraereid/Instagram 'Living with transparency and authenticity has been how I have grown into the person I am today, and I'll continue to do so — while also protecting the parts of this journey that are private and unfolding in uncharted territory.' Lochte concluded his message Wednesday by thanking loved ones for their 'continued support' as he and Reid navigate new waters. 5 Ryan Lochte is a 12-time Olympic medalist. AFP/Getty Images 'It truly means a lot as we begin this next chapter,' he shared. Lochte married Reid in 2018 — two years after he found himself at the center of international controversy for falsely claiming he and teammates had been robbed at gunpoint during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He was dropped by sponsors in the aftermath and hit with a 10-month suspension from USA Swimming. Lochte expressed gratitude for Reid at the time as she stayed by his side through the scandal. 'Through everything that's happened, we've established ups and downs [that] most people establish in a relationship in 20 years. We did it in a matter of almost a year,' Lochte told 'Entertainment Tonight' in 2016. 'She stuck right there by me and just was my rock. That's when I knew. I was like, 'I'm not letting this one go.'' The pair got engaged in 2016.
