Some 'Dupree' In Owen Wilson's Life

Brother, Dog Had Similarities To Character In Comedy

(CBS)  "My brother Luke was a little bit of a Dupree for me. Yeah, he stayed with me for a year, even though he had his own house less than a mile away. I'm not kidding. I don't know why he was there. I guess because I had food in my refrigerator."

Wilson is also credited as a producer of "Dupree," but downplays his involvement on that end, explaining to Smith, "The writer, Mike LeSieur, kind of came to me and told me the idea, and I thought it was funny, so it was more a function of me being involved from early on that I got that credit, rather than me being a real producer."

He also recalled the day Lance Armstrong was on the set, doing a cameo, but says, "Kate (Hudson) kind of stole a little bit of his thunder that day, because that was the day she was in this very skimpy bikini, and she looked amazing."

But Wilson was also impressed with Hudson, the person, adding, "She has this kind of warmth, like I would kind of kid her because it's like, the first couple of days, I was getting her laughing all time. And I'm like, 'Wow, I'm really at the top of my game,' and then I realized she's like that with Matt Dillon, she's like that with the caterer, she's like that with the Teamsters, and you don't feel so special.

"And then I started accusing her of being charm monster. She like wins everybody over."
