News > Owen Wilson hospitalized after suicide attempt

Written by: Josh Karp 

Whoa. This one came out of left field. The National Enquirer is reporting that everyone's favorite deadpan funny-man Owen Wilson was rushed to a  Los Angeles area hospital after allegedly slicing his wrists and consuming an undisclosed quantity of pills. Yikes!  A family member discovered Wilson in a comatose state,and immediately summoned help. He was transferred to a second hospital after being stabilized, and is currently going through a detoxification process. This story is sure to snowball out of control in the coming days, but I for one was completely shocked by the news. I suppose it goes to show that outward appearances can be absurdly misleading, especially in Hollywood.

While it is horrible news, and I really hope he is ok, is anybody else freaked out by the fact that Luke Wilson attempted suicide in a similar manner in The Royal Tenenbaums?

I really hope this isnt true and if it is, that he can recover both physically and mentally. Hes a fantastic actor/writer.

"I'm going to kill myself tomorrow."

I hope he gets the help he needs.

National Enquirer? You couldn't find ANY other source to cite?

Both Owen and Luke seem to be tormented souls. I feel for him and I hope this doesn't get sensationalized in the media as that is the last thing someone in his situation needs.
