SON’S SUPPORT

In 2018 Owens received a lot of attention from the press after a woman took some pictures of him. In the photos, the actor appeared to be working at Trader Joe's, a grocery store in New Jersey.

Owens noticed that the woman took the pictures and thought they would be used to embarrass him for doing such work. His first reaction was to call his son who was then 19 years old and studying.

UNEXPECTED RESULT
