Wilson Recovering From Ordeal

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Official confirmation that Owen Wilson attempted suicide came yesterday. The actor remains in Cedar-Sinai Hospital in Santa Monica where he is being treated for injuries sustained while he cut his wrists this past Sunday. Wilson remains in good condition and spoke with his close friend/director Ben Stiller. The two made a mutual agreement that Wilson would not be able to make a cameo appearance in Stiller’s new movie “Tropic Thunder” which is currently filming in Hawaii. Wilson had been scheduled to work on the picture for only one week. It’s unknown whether Stiller will recast Wilson’s part in the movie or simply decide to cut it altogether from the story.

Another rumor that has been heard was that Wilson also took an overdose of pills when he made the suicide attempt. That rumor was squashed by an attorney hired by the actor who said that at no time did the “Wedding Crashers” and “Cars” star overdose or have his stomach pumped. However, Wilson had been taking antidepressants leading to further speculation that the actor had been experiencing some kind of fatigue or emotional crisis. Another story that appeared in a British newspaper alleged that actor Steve Coogan had given Wilson illegal drugs. “My thoughts are with my friend Owen at this difficult time,” Coogan said in a statement released to The Associated Press. “But I do want to set the record straight and say that the allegations published today are completely and utterly false.”
