“Wow” is right.

Travis Scott arriving via helicopter to his set at Rolling Loud at Hard Rock in Miami Gardens Saturday night wasn’t the only big surprise of the evening.

Owen Wilson popped up on stage right before Scott launched into his 2023 hit “FE!N.”

In videos shared to social media, you see the “Marry Me” star yelling and pumping his fits, hyping up the already appreciative crowd as a light show explodes and rain pours down.

“I’m feining [fiending] for moreeee!!!” Wilson screams into the mic.

On a post shared by local lifestyle site Only in Dade, people took to the comments section, many of them saying they couldn’t believe their eyes.

“Owen Wilson at Rolling Loud was not on my 2024 bingo card.”

“One of the yearly highlights of living in Miami.”

“Bringing out Owen Wilson is downright diabolical and legendary.”

“Must say that’s pretty awesome.”

“Iconic.”

Wilson’s appearance may not be as random as you’d think, however.

The Dallas native, 56, is actually starring in a movie centered around the hip-hop festival called “Rolling Loud,” which just celebrated its 10th anniversary, Deadline reports.

In the R-rated comedy, based on true events, Wilson plays an overprotective dad who sneaks his teenage son into the fest and chaos ensues. As per IMDB, the flick is currently in pre-production.

The last time we saw Wilson filming a movie in our neck of the woods for any length of time was for 2008’s dog-centered tearjerker “Marley and Me,” costarring Jennifer Aniston.

His buddy/“Wedding Crashers” costar Vince Vaughn was all over the Florida Keys two years ago, for the Apple TV+ hit, “Bad Monkey.” We hear a sequel based on the Carl Hiaasen book is currently shooting. Owen should get a part.
