Owen Wilson proved this weekend that he is the hype man we all need.

The “Wedding Crashers” actor made an unexpected appearance during rapper Travis Scott’s rain-soaked appearance on Rolling Loud on Saturday, according to video recordings from the Miami Music Festival.

Wilson took the stage during Scott’s 2023 track “FE!N” and wowed the crowd when he exclaimed, “I’m looking forward to more!” to help start the performance of the song.

Wilson is seen in footage on social media jumping around and pumping his fists in the air during the high-energy song, which featured what appeared to be pyrotechnic effects.

While the Rolling Loud stage isn’t where you’d typically expect to find a comedic actor like Wilson making a cameo, the appearance might not be quite as random as it seems.

Wilson is attached to star in an upcoming film about the famous music festival, according to a press release from Live Nation Productions, one of the companies producing the film.

According to Deadlinethe actor’s appearance during Scott’s set on Saturday was for a scene in the film.

CNN has reached out to representatives for Wilson for comment.

Scott celebrated Wilson’s appearance on stage, writing in an Instagram Story post that the moment “made my day.” Scott, clearly a fan of Wilson’s work, also posted another photo showing the movie poster for the 1996 classic “Bottle Rocket,” in which Wilson stars alongside his brother Luke Wilson.

Comedian Matt Rife is also set to star in the film, which is billed as an R-rated comedy about a father-son duo who have a chaotic adventure as they attend the music festival as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Jeremy Garelick is writing and directing the film, which is due for release next year.

All we have to say is… wow.
