For the Last Time, Luke Wilson Cannot Help You With Your AT&T Cell Phone Problems

By Bryan Alexander Posted Aug 3rd 2010 06:28PM

Luke Wilson has been a major movie star for the last 15 years. Yet when people stop him on the streets these days, they want to know if he can help them with their cell phone service.

For those living in a cave, Wilson is also the ubiquitous pitchman for AT&T phone service.

"It shows the power of the medium," Wilson said at the press day of his new movie 'Middle Men.' "You're making movies for 15 years and now people are like, 'You're the AT&T guy.' "

"I guess I am."

When PopEater asked Wilson if he could help us with our faulty AT&T cell phone reception, he politely declined.

"But I can give you the card of the guy you should call," he added, helpfully.

It's a question he gets asked a lot. "I get a lot of comments about phone service these days," he said.

The first one came shortly after he shot the commercials and Wilson was changing planes in the Denver airport. "Some guy came up to me and started asking about service," he laughed. "I was wondering what movie 'service' had to do with, what movie was I in the service industry?"

He realized what the guy meant shortly thereafter. "All of a sudden, these ads were all over all the time," said Wilson.

Perhaps flicks like "Middle Men," where Wilson plays a business man caught up in the insane early days of the porn internet industry, might change that airport-spotting perception again back to Luke Wilson: Movie Star. Or maybe, Wilson will be answering reception questions for a long time to come.

Which reminds us Luke, we never got that business card you promised.
