Actor Owen Wilson, who has filmed two features in Hawai'i, is relocating to the Islands, part time at least.

Wilson, 39, has decided to buy a home on Maui, influenced by a visit with good pal Woody Harrelson, who has adopted an environmentally friendly lifestyle, according to In Touch Weekly. Harrelson lives in a completely solar-powered, sustainable community complete with organic farming.

Wilson did "The Big Bounce" nearly entirely on O'ahu, and his film "You, Me and Dupree" featured some O'ahu locations.
