Twitter was abuzz last night with reports that Owen Wilson was hanging out at Via in Atlanta. Around 10:30 PM, several patrons at the Atlanta hot spot took to Twitter to broadcast the fact that they were hanging out with a drunk Owen Wilson.
“chilling w/a drunk Owen Wilson right now! happy birthday Larissa!!!!”(@jas0n88)
“Nice… Owen Wilson is hangin with me here at VIA!” (@Hudahudia)
“Owen Wilson is at VIA! in Atlanta, GA” (@maxarmada)
Yesterday was the first day of shooting on Hall Pass in Atlanta. The Farrelly Brothers’ flick, which also stars Jenna Fischer, spent much of yesterday shooting a scene in a coffee shop in East Atlanta. Owen’s going to have a rough morning after being out late last night, the movie is scheduled to start shooting in a residential neighborhood at 7 AM this morning. The movie continues filming in ATL for the next six weeks.
Thanks to Jonathan R for the tip! If you have any details about where Hall Pass is filming this week in Atlanta, please let us know about it in a comment below!
Should Owen Wilson, a “recovering” drug addict, being hanging out DRUNK at a bar ONE day into filming? Maybe the studio should have sprung for a sober companion (or two)?
Keep up the Twitter sightings – LOVE them!!
Yes he was at VIA last night, but he was not drunk…nor was he “party’n”…he was just sitting at a table talking to others that came with him…very calm and not drinking…just fyi.
He wasn’t even drinking, and he was super polite to everyone that went up and talked to him.
Thanks for the updates! Glad to hear he was in good spirits and taking care of himself!
I just tweeted this too looks like they are back to filming today:
RT @EldredgeATL: Owen Wilson is shooting a scene for new Farrelly Bros comedy “Hall Pass” outside of @LanceGummere ‘s @TheShed1
Also heard they have a crew set up in Glenwood Park.
Love how his friends cover for him, then get their assistant to do the same – lol. As I don’t work for an Atlanta-based magazine or Via and have no interest except for telling the truth, here it is – I was there and Owen was knocking back vodka and cranberry juice all night. He was loaded. Sorry but there it is.
I was there and he WASN’T drunk so Callie you must have been the drunk one who was hallucinating about what you actually saw.
He was with The Farrelly Brothers’ who actually stayed later then he did!!
Thanks, Joe/Max!!
Hey guys! Setting things straight about Owen at VIA last night. Once he walked in everyone was star struck. His presence alone made for a great night. He was at the table right in front me while I DJ’d all night. He was not drinking nor was he drunk etc… He was on the other hand extremely gracious to everyone who came to talk him. Everyone got their moment with him. Thanks for coming out to VIA last night Owen! Hope you can make it out again.
He was wasted.. no lie
who are these ppl…he wasnt wasted…he was just chillin out…I have no reason to say this either…I wish he would have been drunk and dancing on the tables and entertaining the crowd…would have been something to talk about, but he was quiet and to himself, but also did say hi to ppl that approached him…was very nice. Wasnt drunk AT ALL…LOL!! Drama!! You know the Farley Bros were there too…and so was some of the cast of Vampire Diaries…there is always some celeb there on Wednesdays…Always a good time! 😉
Who was there from Vampire Diaries? Were they drunk and hooking up? LoL You can’t half name drop! I want details and I promise if you say Owen wasn’t drunk, I’ll believe you.
hard to party when shootin didnt end till 12 Am come on folks get a grip!
I work in the Terminus (Piedmont and Peachtree). We received notice today that they will be filming at Cantina all day March 2nd.
I just met Owen Wison golfing in Atlanta and the guy is the best person ever… Too nice of a person…
Awesome Erico, thanks so much for sharing!
That’s a lie right there, j r.
Max tweeted that Owen was at Via at around 10:30, Jason tweeted that he was chillin’ with a drunk Owen Wilson around 11:15 and another person tweeted that she gave him a complimentary drink around 12 midnight SO he was there from at least 10:30 until midnight.
Callie- get a life please. Owen Wilson hung out at Via- as we can see above you are the only person who made drama- I can assure you that his asst. nor his friends would take time to defend him here. Just because someone gets a comp drink- does not mean they drank it. He is clean. Do you wish for him not to be? Get a life. And why do you care? If he was a risk a studio would never hire him to much money at risk. PERIOD. I am thrilled he went through a tough time in his life and obviously still has demons to fight- we should all be suporting him and allowing him to have a safe and enjoyable experince in our city. Not spreading lies and putting bad energy out there.
“The best person ever”, “Too nice of a person”?
Sounds like Owen may have been a wee bit euphoric … Interesting.
Hall Pass will be in Suwanee, Georgia tomorrow at a local restaurant.
They’re filming in Cumming on exit 15 off hwy 400. Saw them myself at Mary Alice park tonight. 😉
Yes they have been here in Cumming the past few days. I live a mile from the beach the are filming at. kind of cool. We got new sand on our beach and a fake claim shack and a cape cod still house is set up. Lots of pontoon boats with camaras and light
They are filming this evening in Gainesville, GA at the Days Inn on Queen City Pkwy. No bar sightings to speak of, but still exciting!
Saw them filming at a Gainesville, GA last night, the 16th.
