Some would see it as being a good friend, but apparently, lying in an effort to get your buddy into a party at the Playboy Mansion is frowned upon. Wilson explained the situation in a 2006 interview (via Digital Spy), revealing how he became persona non grata at the Playboy Mansion.
“I got DNA-ed from the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. That means ‘do not admit’ — that’s their special word. I tried to get a friend in and I’d shown up and they said ‘Who are you with’ and I’m like ‘I’m with my brother Owen’ and they’re like ‘We need to see him.'”
The problem with this approach was that the Owen in that story is Owen Wilson, Luke’s brother who is well-known for having appeared in “Wedding Crashers” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.” The staff at the Playboy mansion didn’t take the bait which meant that Wilson had to talk his way back into the Playboy Mansion’s good graces.
“It was actually my friend Eckelman, who doesn’t look anything like Owen. I was not allowed to go there for a year and a half. I had to make kind of a tearful phone call to Mary, the woman who kind of runs the operation. I said, ‘Mary, what I did was stupid. It was wrong. Hef’s been so generous to me …’ I actually did, I think, cry on the telephone!”
