Actor Owen Wilson Is Channeling Bob Ross for the Upcoming Movie Paint

Few artists are as instantly recognizable as beloved TV painterBob Ross. His fluffy perm and gentle demeanor were just two of his signature characteristics throughout his on-screen career. Actor Owen Wilson is channeling his inner Bob Ross in the upcoming comedy filmPaintdepicting the life of a public television personality named Carl Nargyle.

In thetrailer, Wilson is dressed in similar attire to what Ross wore during his showThe Joy of Paintingand even paints quaint landscapes as well.Although Ross is clearly an inspiration for the movie, the story does not follow the life of the real painting instructor. Instead, Wilsons character is described as someone who has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves.

Set against the lush backdrop of Vermont, the Ross doppelgnger creates lightning-fast paintings that enrapture the audience of public television. In addition, Nargyle, like Ross, is able to calmly demonstrate how to create a landscape from scratch. However, the comedy happens when a new artist, played by Ciara Rene, begins chipping away at his popularity with her own TV program.Paintis both directed and written by Brit McAdams, and features the talents of other stars, like Michaela Watkins and Wendi McLendon-Covey.

Paintwill be released in theaters on April 7, 2023.
