"Wedding Crashers" star Owen Wilson was always a troublemaker. He was tossed out of the Dallas high school that graduated Tommy Lee Jones and rockers Steve Miller and Boz Scaggs.

"I got kicked out of St. Mark's High School for a bunch of Tom Sawyer pranks," he told Webster Hall curator Baird Jones. "I was caught wearing white socks, which was against the uniform rules," Wilson says. "I claimed I had athlete's foot. I also stole the geometry teacher's book, which had all the correct answers [to a test] in it. And I gave it out to all my classmates so everyone got A's." Wilson says his antics got him "sent off to a strict military school in New Mexico — which was a nightmare."

He says of St. Mark's, "I'd love to go back just to give a speech and show off," but doubts he'll get the invitation "because there's been so many other famous alumni there."

You Said

I'm dying to see this movie - but am waiting until August so my stress doesn't keep me from enjoying it; I just love Owen.
