Owen Wilson rocked a Bob Ross-inspired perm on the first poster for the upcoming comedy Paint.
Wilson, 54, who normally has a blonde, shaggy cut, channeled the iconic painter wearing a blonde permed wig and carrying an easel in the first stills of the movie, which will be released April 7.
The background of the poster features evergreen trees at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, honoring Ross’ famous oil paintings of Alaskan landscapes.
Paint sees Wilson playing painter Carl Nargle who lives in Vermont and has a knack for bringing people together. But when Nargle meets a younger and more charismatic performer, his dark side emerges.
The film’s tagline is “Go to a special place,” a take on Ross’s famous catchphrase, “There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.”
