Models talk brings you some interesting moments when shared with Owen Wilson.
Owen Wilson is a busy guy, particularly this month. Not only was he busy promoting How Do You Know, but this weekend�s release Little Fockers, too. Right after the Little Fockers press conference, Wilson bolted to promote How Do You Know and then came back to talk Fockers. All it took was a little Sports Center , a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit and Wilson was ready to go.
How was it shooting your more intimate moment with Barbara Streisand?
Owen Wilson: That is cutting straight to the chase. It was actually kind of an exciting scene. To be able to say you kissed Barbara Streisand, that�s pretty major. That�s one you can check off the to do list. But it was kind of surreal; you kiss Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman comes in.
How was it working with such a big cast? You�ve worked with so many fantastic actors at this point; is it just more of the same or can this kind of ensemble still be overwhelming? Do you ever get star struck?
I do. I remember on the first Meet the Parents having to give some speech when I�m showing everyone around my house and I turn and I see Robert De Niro and I just literally forgot all my dialogue just because you know his face, it�s so familiar from all these great roles.

Back to Little Fockers, is it hard to get the work done with a batch of comedians on a set?
Yes! [Laughs] It is hard to get the work done. It�s hard just to organize everybody. You have such a big cast and it ends up being like a reunion. You�re seeing everyone again and I�m just laughing and having a good time. Ben and I have worked together so much that anytime we�re in a scene we were always kind of laughing and stuff together.
What�s it like balancing so many strong personalities? I imagine you all have very different ways of preparing and performing.
Well, I�m pretty loose the way I prepare, although maybe I should have gone to Cirque du Soleil to prepare for some of that end stuff. I think everyone kind of knows the way their character behaves and acts, so everybody�s pretty comfortable at this point.

Speaking about that ending, how comfortable was that blue unitard?
That unitard was surprisingly comfortable. Yes, I can really recommend them. If you haven�t worn a unitrad in a movie, go out and get yourself one. They�re the new fashion item.
Did you get to keep it?
Yes, I did.
Ever wear it for fun?
Yes. [Laughs]
So, how was it doing that last scene? I think it�s safe to assume you had a stunt double for that scene, right?
Yeah. Although some of it no, but they had a wire that they green screened out that allowed me to kind of hang upside down and do some of the stuff. But it�s pretty crazy, isn�t it? How would you describe my character in this movie?
Like a misguided guidance counselor.
[Laughs] That�s good!
He has a good heart.
He�s not mean spirited at all with Ben. He doesn�t know how annoying it is for Ben. De Niro still seems to favor Kevin, but yeah, a misguided guidance counselor. How else would you describe him?
I�d say he�s an all-around good guy. He may not be giving the best advice, but there�s still something warm and lovable about him.
Yeah, that�s good. What scene did you like with Kevin? It�s interesting for me because I haven�t seen the movie.
That last scene with Barbara is pretty funny and the tattoo part, too.
Yeah.
If you had to get a tattoo of someone�s face on your back, who would it be?
Churchill. I like Churchill. That would be a very odd, but good tattoo to get.
