Owen Wilson has touched down in Australia to shoot his latest movie.
The US actor, 56, was spotted arriving at Sydney airport Sunday night, wearing a cowboy-themed ensemble as he made his way through the terminal.
While seemingly an attempt to go incognito, Wilson certainly stood out in his Western attire, rocking a beige hat and floral-embellished button-down shirt as he carried a large suede duffel bag.
The Wedding Crashers star is slated to start shooting the high-stakes action drama Runner, the latest in a line of back-to-back Hollywood productions taking place on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
Starring opposite US actor Alan Ritchson, who plays the lead role Hank Malone, Runner follows the high-end courier on his speedy quest to transport a lifesaving organ to a seven-year-old girl, but the mission quickly turns dangerous when a crime syndicate gets involved.
Wilson will portray the role of Ben, a medical courier whom Hank, begrudgingly, is tasked with protecting.
Australia has been home to a flurry of celebrities over the past few months.
Paul Rudd and Jack Black spent weeks on the Gold Coast in February filming their upcoming adventure film Anaconda, while Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev also joined Russell Crowe in the city to shoot the new movie Bear Country.
Rita Ora and husband Taika Waititi were also spotted several times on the Gold Coast from January and into February.
Meanwhile, Charlize Theron and Taron Edgerton arrived down under in late January to begin shooting their Netflix film Apex in New South Wales.
