February 10, 2003 — NEW YORK -- After making two films with Jackie Chan, actor Owen Wilson feels no pressure to keep up with his co-star when it comes to doing stunts on camera.
"So far, I've been able to sit on that urge," says Wilson, 34, who reteams with Chan for "Shanghai Knights," the sequel to 2000's "Shanghai Noon."
He flashes a crooked smile, which seems to be his perpetual expression, and adds, "I kidded Jackie about him being known for doing it all. I'd like to be known as the actor who does none of his own stunts. Even bending down to pick something up -- 'Hey, need a stuntman here.' "
Dressed in dark jeans, Nikes and an Aerosmith T-shirt, the shaggily blond Wilson leans forward from an overstuffed couch in the lobby of a Manhattan hotel. As the windy afternoon darkens, he picks up a round section of a tuna-stuffed spring roll, offers a piece to his guest, then pops one in his mouth.
