A-list Hollywood actor Owen Wilson attempted to fly under the radar as he touched down in Australia at the weekend.

The 56-year-old used a large cowboy hat to hide his face as he walked through Sydney Airport on Sunday.

Despite his attempt to go incognito, Wilson stuck out in his unusual Western attire.

The Oscar-winner paired his cowboy hat with a cream button-up shirt with floral accents, grey chinos, plain dark grey sneakers and a brown duffle bag.

Appearing to pack light, Wilson was back at Sydney airport on Monday morning in the same clothes as the night before.

Runner is about a courier who has just hours to transport an organ to a young girl needing an urgent transplant.

The mission is then hijacked by a crime boss who tries to claim the organ.

The film is being directed by Scott Waugh who said fans have been waiting to see Wilson and Ritchson star in a movie together.

“This pairing is something I believe audiences have been hungry for,” Waugh said.

“We strive to achieve the unexpected from the page-turner script that Miles and Tommy delivered.”
