'Stick' star Owen Wilson says golf can make you 'crazy,' and wants to earn his own meltdown
'Stick' star Owen Wilson says golf can make you 'crazy,' and wants to earn his own meltdown Show Caption Hide Caption Owen Wilson talks new Apple TV+ golf comedy 'Stick' While promoting his new golf comedy series, Owen Wilson reveals the funniest golf meltdown he's ever seen while playing the game with brother Luke. LOS ANGELES — Owen Wilson readily admits that his golf game was already washed up when he agreed to play over-the-hill pro Pryce Cahill in the comedy "Stick." "The Wedding Crashers" star, 56, who says he's more skilled on tennis or pickleball courts, couldn't quite relate to the PGA meltdown on national TV that ended Cahill's promising career in the Apple TV+ series (three episodes now streaming, then weekly on Wednesdays). 'I've definitely tossed a tennis racket, but I haven't gotten good enough at golf to toss a club yet,' Wilson tells USA TODAY. 'If I hit a good shot, it's like, 'Whoa! Where did that come from?' Once you get a level of competence where there's an expectation and then you don't meet that — that's when you have a meltdown. But there is something about golf that can drive you crazy." Wilson is still working to get to 'Stick' golf status Wilson has his reasons for his subpar game, which never flourished while he was growing up in Dallas, with golf-loving father Robert Wilson and actor brothers, Andrew and Luke Wilson. Owen was left-handed in a right-handed house. 'My dad didn't see enough in my game to invest in lefty clubs, so I was left to hack away with righty clubs,' he says. 'That was my excuse to myself.' When "Stick" creator Jason Keller rolled up with the series' boyishly optimistic golf-guru role, Wilson seized the part and pushed himself to improve his game drastically. He hit the links as if it were his full-time job. Working with golf consultant Nathan Leonhardt, however, was more financial strain than golf gain. 'Nathan didn't give me much. He took my money more," says Wilson. "We'd bet on shots and putting matches, and he wouldn't give me much of a handicap.' Pryce Cahill's 'Stick' meltdown sinks marriage to wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer) The actor already possesses the good-natured gravitas of a down-on-his-luck former golf star who still hangs with his loyal caddy Mitts (Marc Maron). Pryce, known as 'Stick' for his former prowess, has personal reasons for the TV meltdown 20 years earlier. The nightmare haunts him on YouTube and contributed to the end of his marriage to wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer). But he takes a shot at golf redemption, hitting the road to mentor free-swining phenom Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager) while keeping the peace with Santi's mother Elena (Mariana Treviño), girlfriend Zero (Lilli Kay) and Mitts. When mentor Pryce steps up to hit on camera, Wilson had a blonde-wigged "swing double" professional step in or focused solely on the smooth motion for the camera. "In golf shows, they have you swing a lot without the ball," he says. Owen Wilson plays pickleball in Apple TV+ golf series 'Stick' "Stick" is about teen golf prodigy Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager) learning from coach Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson). But there is pickleball. Wilson has seen Woody Harrelson get burned in pickleball Wilson feels he's earned the right to act heated during a "Stick" episode featuring a pickleball match. He's got skills from being a regular pickleballer at his Maui, Hawaii, home with a group that includes actor Woody Harrelson. 'Woody has played longer than any of us. But still, when someone came to watch us play recently, they asked Woody, 'Was this your first time today?' That did not go over well,' says Wilson. 'That'd be like someone asking me that same question after seeing me tee off. I've been spending 40 hours a week on this game for more than two years.' Wilson beat pro golfers in a glorious putting contest After all that practice, Wilson savored tooling around with PGA stars Max Homa, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa, among a slew of "Stick" pro-golfer cameos. While competitively putting with the group, Wilson insists he sank a clutch 10-foot putt that the pros missed. 'I made the putt, they didn't. So that was satisfying,' says Wilson. 'That's one of golf's alluring things, making a shot that even a pro would be happy with.' The upstart was brought back to Earth when Morikawa, winner of six PGA tour events, dropped a putt in front of scores of spectators while cameras rolled. 'When the pressure was on, in front of a grandstand of extras, Morikawa sank this incredible putt,' says Wilson. 'I did not.' Still, Keller has hopes for Wilson's golf game that could be unleashed in a potential Season 2. 'I just played 18 holes with him. He's still finding his game, but the golfer I saw Tuesday was a completely different golfer than the one we started with," he says. "That swing was super smooth.' An earned golf meltdown is surely within Wilson's grasp. During a recent outing with brother Andrew, 60, things got so heated that the duo stopped talking to each other for 13 holes. 'Even though we'd driven to the course together, he took an Uber back because we weren't speaking,' says Wilson. 'We even won that day, but he just made me so mad, and apparently I made him so mad that it became this argument.' In a page out of Pryce's playbook, Wilson apologized to make peace. "I took the high road, even though I didn't owe an apology," says Wilson. 'I just said, 'Why aren't we celebrating this win that we had today?' He was like, 'Yeah, you're right!'"

Bikini-clad Isla Fisher, 49, jokes she should be 'nominated for a SAG Award' as she reveals her boobs 'don't sit where they used to'
Bikini-clad Isla Fisher joked that she should be nominated for a SAG Award as she revealed her boobs 'don't sit where they used to' on social media on Monday. The Wedding Crashers star, 49, appeared to be enjoying her single status as she lived it up on a girls' trip to a sun-soaked location over the bank holiday weekend. Taking to her Instagram Stories, the beauty posed up a storm in a colourful bikini while laying on a sun bed. Despite showing off her incredible figure in the two-piece, the actress claimed her body isn't how it used to be. She penned on a sizzling snap: 'My girls are out, they aren't where they used to be.. but then neither am I!' 'I may not get an Oscar, but I could be nominated for a SAG award,' she joked on another. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The red-haired beauty was joined by fashion stylist Martha Ward on her idyllic getaway. It comes after Isla recently opened up about her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen and how the end of their marriage changed her life. The Aussie actress split with the Borat creator, 53, at the end of 2023 after 13 years of marriage. Speaking to Stellar, Isla revealed that now she is single again and her children are growing up, she is planning to re-focus her efforts on her work. 'I think because of the challenges I've gone through in the last two years, I don't see that it will change much,' Isla admitted. She added her career had previously been put on the 'backburner' while she raised her children with Sacha. Earlier this year, the actress and her ex shared a friendly exchange on social media amid reports their divorce was getting 'messy'. The exes engaged with one another on the Australian star's recent Instagram post, which shows her in a sultry photoshoot for Style Magazine. 'Stunning,' the British actor complimented his former wife in the comments below the post, which he also 'liked'. Isla replied some hours later, tagging her ex-partner and writing, 'Thank you'. The friendly interaction occurred amid reports her amicable divorce from comedian Sacha is set to turn sour as they divide their £60million (AUD$119million) fortune. Sources close to the actor said 'it's war' and 'any remaining veneer of civility has gone' after Isla opened up about how she was handling their separation. Isla and Sacha revealed in a joint statement in April, 2024 they had 'quietly separated' the year before. 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down,' they told fans. Discussing the split with the Sunday Times, Isla said: 'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process. 'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.' Isla explained her own parents separated when she was nine-years-old and admitted their peaceful arrangement was what she now strives for. She said: 'It was very harmonious, I don't ever remember them fighting about anything… they were very inclusive of each other.'
