Owen Wilson on meeting Lionel Messi

Owen Wilson just opened up about Lionel Messi being more than just a footballer, calling him an incredible person alongside his status as the best in the world. He took his kids to see the man they were so excited for, and when Messi emerged from the field, Wilson said it felt like a movie scene playing out right before their eyes. There was this internal moment where he wondered if the legend was even looking at him during the whole encounter. Once the approach happened, the signing of his son's shirt put him in a state of absolute ecstasy. While his children stayed pumped about the experience afterward, Wilson made it clear that the hug from Messi was the single most memorable part of the entire meeting.
