Actor Owen Wilson is a lifelong fan of The Rolling Stones: as a young teenager growing up in Dallas, his very first gig was the English rock 'n' roll legends on their 1981 Tattoo You tour. So you can imagine how thrilled the Zoolander/Loki star was when the band gifted him a priceless Access All Areas pass for life for their gigs... and how utterly gutted he was when this 'golden ticket' was taken back from him after just one gig.

Wilson told the story while guesting alongside fellow Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum on US talk show The Late Late Show on March 28.The subject came up after Goldblum  spoke about meeting Aerosmith, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards, and host James Corden asked Wilson if he'd ever stepped on stage with any iconic rock stars. It turns out that he kinda had... but not in a way he'd ever want to brag about.

"I went to see the Rolling Stones in Argentina," Wilson begins, "and I was kind of friendly with some of the band, and then my friend was really good friends with Mick Jagger, and we got these special laminates, kind of All Access that were good for the rest of your life.
