Owen Wilson reveals why his lifetime access pass to Rolling Stones concerts was revoked in just ONE DAY

Owen Wilson said that he was honored to receive their notice in his latest appearance on 'The Late Late Show' with James Corden and Jeff Goldblum

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Owen Wilson has spoken candidly about the time he got along with The Rolling Stones and was given an all-access backstage pass "that was good for the rest of your life," only to have it revoked after one performance.

Wilson has always been a fan of the legends of rock 'n' roll, who performed at the first-ever concert he attended in 1980. The 'Loki' actor said that he was honored to receive their notice in his latest appearance on 'The Late Late Show' with James Corden and Jeff Goldblum.

How did Owen Wilson get a lifetime access pass to Rolling Stones concerts?

During their concert in Argentina, Wilson, who had received the life-changing encounter through a friend, approached a part of the stage that was unintentionally off-limits. "I was kind of friendly with some of the band and then my friend was really good friends with Mick Jagger," the actor 54, detailed. "We got [presented with] these special laminates, kind of all access, that were good for the rest of your life."

What happened to his lifetime pass?

Wilson continued that he first attended a performance in the early 1980s when he saw the Rolling Stones as part of their Tattoo You Tour, further emphasizing the value of lifetime passes. Wilson described the gift of the all-access ticket as "really exciting," but his joy at being able to see any Rolling Stones concert for the rest of his life was fleeting.

'No one would stop me any place'

Wilson remembered being excited to try how "all-access" really was after receiving the passes, saying to himself, "I’m gonna walk over here and see if anybody stops me." He stated that "No one would stop me any place. I ended up right at this place where I could look over and see Mick Jagger on the stage, and right there." Wilson went on, "Then all of a sudden, he bolts, during 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', and comes running down, and it turns out where I was part of the stage a little bit, so I just sort of froze and tried to be inconspicuous… And then someone came running over, [screaming], 'Get out of here! Move! You’re not supposed to be here!'"

'He doesn’t need some bozo just cruising around'

Wilson's memories of the incident kept him up all night and into the following morning. "I go to bed that night still thinking, 'Oh my gosh, that was kind of a gnarly experience.' And then I get a call the next morning from Mick’s security team, 'Do you have that laminate?' 'Yes, I still have it.' 'Okay, we’re gonna come over and pick it up…'"

And with that, a lifelong Rolling Stones fan had lost his lifetime all-access ticket. But the actor is aware that the removal of the pass was his error, or at the very least the fault of the clothing he was wearing. "I was also dressed in a white T-shirt and white pants, and if you are at this part of the stage — where you're not supposed to be — you should be in like dark colors where you blend in," Wilson explained. "So I get it, you know? He's got a show to do. He doesn't need some kind of bozo just cruising around distracting him."

What are the Rolling Stones doing now?

The Rolling Stones are currently working on their 24th studio album. It was previously rumored that the group had enlisted Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to perform on it, with Andrew Watt serving as producer, as per NME. Meanwhile, Wilson will play the renowned artist Bob Ross in the upcoming biopic 'Paint', which will be released in theaters on April 7, 2023. He will also play the role of a priest named Kent in a new reboot of Disney’s 'Haunted Mansion' franchise.
