New parent Owen Wilson couldn't help but adorably gush over E!'s Kristina Guerrero's pregnant belly at the premiere for his new movie The Internship.

So much so that he asked the questions during the first portion of the interview, discussing the challenge of naming a child after Guerrero revealed she's having a boy. 

And who better to give advice than The Wedding Crashers star, whose son, Ford, turned two in January.

"I know. It's hard!" Wilson says of deciding on a name. "And then even when you come up with it, it's still hard once they're born. The first few days you're like saying the name, but it's like, ‘Is this right?,'" he admits before adding, "And then after a month goes by it's like you can't imagine them having any other name because all of a sudden they are that name."

So how did Wilson come up with his kid's moniker?

"Jade [Duell] and I just liked the name. Thought it was a good name, a very American-sounding name, and I don't know a lot of kids named Ford so it seemed kind of original," he explains. "And now, it's just like what I was saying to you, I can't imagine him having any other name because he is Ford."

The proud papa also gushes over reuniting with his Wedding Crashers costar Vince Vaughn in the summer comedy flick, saying he had a blast rekindling his bromance with the funnyman.

"We had a great time. I mean, we had so much fun working on Wedding Crashers so the idea of coming back together and doing something fun together, that was exciting."

The Internship hits theaters June 7.
