Imagine being the world’s most charming public defender and then just… forgetting you exist. Luke Wilson has officially joined the ranks of celebrities who have zero clue what they did at work twenty years ago, admitting he recently blanked on his iconic role while being cornered by fans. He wasn't trying to be a diva, he was just genuinely buffering. When people scream 'Emmett!' on the street, Luke apparently assumes they are looking for a lost dog or perhaps a very specific sandwich. He’s lived a thousand movie lives, okay? You can’t expect him to carry around the memory of every courtroom win and blonde girlfriend like a common librarian. Friends say Luke is currently wandering around his house trying to remember if he was also in 'The Royal Tenenbaums' or if that was just a very long, stylish dream involving headbands. Honestly, we should all be so lucky to forget our past professional achievements so we can experience them for the first time on Netflix at 2:00 AM. We’re not mad, Luke. We’re just worried that next week you’ll forget about 'Old School' and try to enroll in a real fraternity. Actually, please do that. We need the content.
