A very famous A-list actor landed in Australia on Sunday, but fans of this Hollywood hotshot may have completely missed his arrival. 

US star Owen Wilson went completely incognito as he jetted into Sydney Airport, wearing a flashy cowboy ensemble with his hat pulled down low over his face.

The Oscar winner, 56, who is Down Under to film his upcoming action movie Runner alongside Alan Ritchson, didn’t let his undercover status ruin a chic outfit.

Owen slipped into a pair of light grey chinos and a black T-shirt which he covered with a $605 floral over-shirt from Harrods.

The Zoolander star didn’t go light on the accessories as he matched his brown sneakers to a brown leather duffel bag.

Slinging a bag onto his back, the movie star finished off his wild west look with a white cowboy hat he used to hide his face from onlookers.

Owen is currently in Australia to film the action drama Runner on the Gold Coast in Queensland. 

He will star alongside Reacher star Alan, 42, and play the role of Ben, a medical courier charged with transporting an organ for a life-saving transplant.

Alan will portray Ben’s begrudging bodyguard as the mission turns deadly when the leader of a crime syndicate becomes hell-bent on claiming the organ.

The action drama will be helmed by Scott Waugh, who directed the 2014 clip Need for Speed and, more recently in 2023, Expendables 4. 

Scott, 54, said fans have been waiting for a movie starring both comedian Owen and action star Alan.

‘This pairing is something I believe audiences have been hungry for,’ he said.

‘We strive to achieve the unexpected from the page-turner script that Miles [Hubley] and Tommy [White] delivered.’

Alan will produce the film alongside Todd Garner (Broken Road Productions), Dan Spilo (Industry Entertainment), and Mark Fasano (Nickel City Pictures).

Deborah Glover (G2 Dispatch) and Jeffrey Greenstein (A Higher Standard) have also come on as producers for the movie.

‘The story’s grounded nature and emotional through-line is one-of-a-kind,’ said Jeffrey, who has a long history of producing action films.

Alan has already settled into Australia ahead of filming the new movie.

He was spotted flaunting his muscular build on the Gold Coast over the weekend as he went for a run with his assistant.
