Owen Wilson Attempts Suicide, Hospitalized
Owen Wilson attempted suicide and was hospitalized, reports The National Enquirer and Star magazine.
“He sliced his left wrists and took an indeterminate amount of pills,” the rags reported. “He was discovered by a family member who summoned help. His wrist was sutured and bandaged at the hospital.”
This all went down around noon at Owen’s house on Sunday.
Owen was stabilized at St. John’s hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
A sad, sad day. Our prayers go out to Owen and his family and friends!

I just cant believe this its shocking i mean why would he kill himself my prairs go with you
omg i just watched his movie yesterday y did he
I almost can’t believe it since the source is The National Enquirer and Star magazine but I hope he’s alright.
This breaks my heart. I thought he was a happy guy, but he must be suffering to do that.
Whoa, it is seriously in trouble. I love this guys acting ability. I guess it isn’t that fulfilling to him though. Somethings missing big time.
That is awful. He always seemed to be a freespirited, happy-go-lucky guy. I guess not. This is terrible. I do think he’s very funny and a really good writer.
Feel better Owen. Glad someone found him in time.
Why would he ever commit suicide, he has everything going for him, he is so adorable, the butterscotch stallion him. What kind of drugs is he on????
If it is true, I am shocked! you have to be at rock bottom to do something like that. Sure hope hes being helped
i am praying for him
Seriously, I dont know what to believe. the tabloid media is mixed in with the legit media who uses tabloid media as a reliable source. With that said, this story is entirely too mean and nasty for tabloids although I wouldnt put anything past them. :(
Either way, my prayers go out to Owen and his family.
Emily you’re an idiot, this is serious *****!!! and leave Jen out of this!!
I really hope Owen’s alright!!
oh god, why would he do such a thing!? =|
I hope hes alright.
Really hope someone is taking care of him.
Just awful!! All prayers to Owen and family!

He probably did it because he found out he was going to have to co-star with Jen Anustin in her next flop.
Talk about depressing!
=========
I was wondering if some idiotic dumba** heartless ****** would say something like that. You are a disgusting, pathetic excuse for a human being Emily.
If this story is true then Owen has some serious issues and to make fun of this is terrible. He and his family are in my prayers….and actually Emily maybe you should do a little bit of soul-searching if the first thing you can think of when finding out about something so tragic is Jen Aniston.
I am shocked by this news of Owen, if it is true, because he seemed to be one of the few contented stars in HW. Poor guy.
I Don’t think he attempted suicide but i pretty sure he was Hospitalized.
16 …….he seemed to be one of the few contented stars in HW. Poor guy.
——-
Things are not always what they seem.
Is it my imagination, or do a disproportionately large number of famous comedians commit/attempt suicide or OD? How bleak. I hope it’s not true, if it is i hope he’ll be OK…
Matt Drudge had the reporter on an he said it was suicide. Normally I would not believe anything the NE has to say. We’ll get the real story soon enough.
Maybe he’s pining for Kate Hudson. It could be he finally became aware she’s the one but heck she’s gone. Go after her, Owen.
Sad. Hope he gets better
I hope he is OK and bounce back soon…
May be he is on drug all the time? Sometimes people do things like that when they are on drug
Hope he will be fine.
It’s true, TMZ confirmed some of the details.
omgsh what is this!?!?
i cant believe this!
he’s like one of my favorite actors
and i NEVER would have guessed that he ever would
want to kill himself. i mean, he’s very talented
and great actor and very cute, obviously somethings wrong
in his life he’s not happy about. I hope he gets better
and finds out whats wrong with him. =] get better owen
we love you xox
owen is laughing on the outside but hurting on the inside? sometimes being rich and famous is not a good thing y’all.

So true. We never really know what happens behind closed doors and the face most stars (most people actually) put on in public could be vastly different than what they really feel.
Hope it is not true-when a loved one commits suicide, the ones they leave behind never really heal-that’s all I have to say about that
God Bless you Owen, I hope this is not true.
Lots and lots of LOVE to Owen Wilson during this very difficult and private time for him, and for his family and friends.
You are in my prayers, Owen.

So true. Rich and famous does not mean happiness.
To Emily:
You are a sick pathetic individual. I’m sure you’d really appreciate it if when you or someone you know attempts to harm or kill themselves, that some sick pathetic individual out there makes a dumb joke out of the situation. Grow a brain and get some morals you idiot.
Think Kate will come visit?
How sad. I blame Hollywood for enabling these people and then destroying anyone with talent or sensitivity.
I was shocked when I read this. Owen Wilson is one of my favorite actors, I hope he is okay. I can’t believe he would do this to himself.
If it’s true, then oh my.
But the main keywords of this article are The National Enquirer and Star magazine and when are they ever reliable?
what happened to him??
never thought a comedy actor committed suicide.
was it because of his break up with Kate Hudson?
hope he’ll get better soon.
y would he do such a girly thing. guys that want to die get shot or run thier car into stuff at full speed. guys go out w/ a bang. sounds like he needed attention

You gotta be shitting me? WHY????
I hope he gets his mental health in order.
omg,i cant’t believe it!i hope this all isn’t true,but if yes i really hope he will be fine!
Really can’t believe this news! That’s so sad to hear, hope that he makes a good recovery.
I DON’T BELIEVE IT
for those who are saying that he has everything because he’s rich and famous and why would he commit suicide? we have NO IDEA what’s happening in his life or what happened that made him feel depressed..soo i think its pretty stupid saying that cause he’s just a normal person with lots of problems
Emily, how pathetic can a I-hate-this-or-that-celebrity obsession get?
You are so superficial, it’s beyond the pail. Is there actually anything else in your life, besides your all-consuming hate?
I don’t like Owen Wilson all that much. But it’s horrible that he’d be in such a dark place, to do something like this. And it must be very difficult for his family and friends.
my prayers (even if i don’t believe in ‘god’) are with him an his family.
get well soon!
owen! what’s going on?? I hope he’s alright!!!OMG!!!
If it true, i fell sorry for him, AND WISH HIM TO GET WELL.
for the amrican public, see imege is not everything, he seemed happy fun guy, and what happend it wasn’t the truth at all,
Don’t belive everything you read, But You do belive everything you read about Brit.
That is how stupid you are.
Just what the hell??
I really can´t believe this!
I really feel bad for him if it’s true,
But I fell even worse For Brit, she gets bashed everyday of her life, she live it 1 big sall taht is called The usa, and people and the media want to drive her to suicde,
Like brit says in 1 of her song: they want her to be legent of her fall- sad sad sad sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The media-for a story and monet
amrican public- for fun, and to fell good about themself
Awww I wonder what could of been so bad for him that he would make an attempt to take his own life? My prayers go out to him that he can find some peace of mind to healing himself.
My prayers goes for him. I just couldn’t belive it. What happend? he seems a happy . I mean he and his buddy Vince always looks happy.
My prayers goes for him. I just couldn’t belive it. What happend? he seems a happy . I mean he and his buddy Vince always looks happy.
also with the hogan family, prayers!
I think it could be because he was blamed for end of Kate’s marriage she was considerd a sult he was taken as a man homewreker. Just following that his last movie his bros tanked. /Most people doesn’t realised some marraiges just had to come to end it is no body’s fault./ It is just my guess but Whatever his reason is I hope he will be back as a new person.
i hope he is going to be ok. he is such a good person, get well owenxoxox
My prayers are with you Owen!!!
I meant to say his last movie he did with his Bros
Who believes that just because you are famous, have money and are known as the funny guy in film that you are automatically happy? He only plays the funny guy in the public eye…we don’t know what his mental or emotional stability is in private…I really feel for the guy and his family…I’ve always viewed that family as being quite tight, so I am sure this is a very difficult time and the last thing they need at this point is a bunch of media and people debating why or how…they need complete privacy to get Owen help…and a lot of comedians have led tragic lives…no one says that just because you make people laugh that you also are doing the same…really surprised and shocked…hope everyone prays for his family…
Wishing him and family well.
10 Emily
So typical of the loonies, mindless, heartless and brainless. I wish him a speedy recovery. Certainly just goes to show just because one takes a pic smiling and laughing does not mean their are happy.
10 Emily : 08/27/2007 at 12:12 am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unbelievably tacky on your part. If you are uncomfortable with this subject, then just bow out instead of making a feeble attempt at levity.
The same goes for that ‘girly’ person.
Wishing Owen a thorough and speedy recovery.
Your in my prayers owen, I know the light of god will enter you and with time solve your problems. Put things in gods hands and trust in him that there IS A PLAN and good needs us on earth until he on calls us. I have recently NOT tried to, but thought seriously about removing myself from the world. I decided not too with the help of god. I hope you can do the same, whatever your problems are.
Knowing where you belong in the world… If there is a happier thing in life, I have not found it.
OH I LOVE HIM!!! WHY WOULD HE WANT TO DO THAT TO HIMSELF. HE IS BECOMING SO SUCCESSFUL AND HE’S TALENTED, FUNNY AND CHARMING…i seriously hope he never tries this again!
I LOVE YOU OWEN!!!
Thinking that being rich & famous is all that it takes to be happy is a typical view by the American lower classes. People are people not matter what their socioeconomic status. Money just magnifies the type of person your are.
I hope he gets the help that he obviously needs.
I hope he was not on medication since many medications prescribed today have suicidal thoughts as one of their side effects.
so girly person is nasty, but kinda right.
Take drug and cut wrist? I’ve never heard a man committed suicide in that way.
I think NE or STAR made up lies about Owen’s hospitalisation.
69 - it’s actually a rather common way.
10 Emily : 08/27/2007 at 12:12 am
He probably did it because he found out he was going to have to co-star with Jen Anustin in her next flop.
==========================
I don’t like JA, but that is a stupid, stupid, thing to say! If you thought it was funny, then YOU need help!
boo-who, another overly privileged person doing something stupid. why can the rest of Hollywood follow Owens lead. Hell, why can any of our countries politician follow his lead.
Nothing, not one single thing in this mans life can be anywhere near as bad as mine…I’m alive, struggling to make the mortgage…not another stupid movie.
Please, so tired of the priviliged…
Kate on Saturday

————>
That’s just disgusting how people think their hate for celebrities they don’t even know is cute, especially in this situation of a suicide attempt.
My prayers go out to Owen & his family.
My 4 yr old son absolutely idolizes him as Lightning McQueen and my husband and I enjoy his work as an actor. Please get better, Owen, and get whatever help you need. All is not so bleak and you’ve brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.
Ours prayers are with you and your family.
Remain in light.
Owen, thoughts and prayers are with you. You have family and friends that care and fans. You are a gifted actor and there isn’t anything you can’t do if you want. Go for your dreams. You are important to so many people.
I thought Owen Wilson was one of the more grounded actors out there, why do people self destruct like this? it is absolutely crazy!
What is there to say, But my prears is with you owen. hope you get better soon. and that your family and friends are there for you because you really need it… Things will hopefully get better… but that is easy for me to say when i have never done anything like that at all. soo once again… hopefully you´ll get better in time. things need to heal. and you have to talk to somenone about it. so i hope you get better in time.. all my best wishes for you even do i don´t know you at all.. love malin…
Some of you people are despicable. This is a human being we are talking about here. It is not a joke.
Shocking, he seemed so happy and jovial. Get well Owen.
HAHAHA! that was funny! You maybe on to something. Good investigative work and funny as hell! PROPS TO YOU!

EMILY:He probably did it because he found out he was going to have to co-star with Jen Anustin in her next flop.
Talk about depressing
This has nothing to do with Jennifer Aniston so hopefully ya’ll can move on about that.
I pray for Owen. Sometimes funny guys keep everything bottled up inside until it explodes. I believe this was a cry for help, since he wasn’t successful. I just hope his family and his friends rally around and help him get through it. Owen has three upcoming movies before Spring of next year. I’m sure producers and insurers will look at this and maybe want to hold back. Hopefully that won’t happen. OWEN WILSON IS A KEEPER. Don’t you forget it.
He’s caught something incurable or he’s hooked on drugs and can’t abusing taking them.
wow i really would have never expected that!
Some people that have posted are really cruel and callous. Talk about kicking someone when they are down. Cheap shots people!
Anyways I hope the very talented Mr. Wilson gets the help he needs.
Could it be that he blamed himself for losing Kate Hudson?
He’s got a lot more talent than people give him credit for. Bottle- Rocket was great and he co-wrote it as was the Royal Tennebaums which he also co-wrote.
My kid loved him in Cars and I loved him in Life Aquatic. Get well soon, Owen!
Some of the comments are vile. I hope Emily and Compassionate Guy don’t ever have despair in their lives. They won’t know what to do if it happens. Shame on them.
I had the exact same reaction after I saw “You, me, & Dupree”
The scar looks kinda gnarly but the the pills were kinda fun. Qualudes. Just what the hack acting prescribed. I wonder if Wes Anderson finally came to his senses and asked Owen from a divorce from his tired schtick.
i hope this is not another chris beniot or anna nicole in the future
The suicide attempt must be for real because Owen’s reps and his family have not denied it. If he was in the hospital for any other reason they would have issued a statement by now.
By the way, Kate Hudson was photographed looking hot and heavy with her new boyfriend (I forgot his name) several times last week. Hope that didn’t contribute to his troubles. He seems like such a sweet guy.
Am glad his family is there for him.

Emily , that was funny! LOL. You could be right though. In any case I hope Owen seeks help.
Owen, please don’t do this to yourself. We love you and want you to be ok!!
You are one of the very few actors that seem funny, true and sincere. You are “ADORABLE” and we love your movies.
Please get well and seek help so we won’t lose you!!

——————————–
Yeah seriously I hope Owen gets some help. On a lighter note - who is going to help poor lonely Jen get some work now that she got one less movie to make ? Oh yeah she got the Arquettes and her fans and her goddesses friends and her dogs and her ocean and …Huav… well she’s going to be alright.
Poor Owen, I hope that he gets help fast…glad he was found in time…hopefully his brother can assist in getting him back on track…must have been the drugs depressing him like that….rehab discounts are needed in hollywood…a one size fits all sale
his publicist should have prevented this from getting out
19..you brought up something I was thinking about…I thought the same when Jim Carrey mentioned he suffered from depression…and the skinny black guy who took off to south africa
Really hope this guy pulls troutgh..he is too talented to waste his life like that..I could kick him myself for being so stupid as to ever doubt himself in anyway…
Come on, dont go ut like that, we need more funny movies…good wishes to owen and the family.,
COME BACK OWEN, you dont want to leave us with all this untalented schmucks do you..yo
Why couldn’t it have been Brad Pitt instead?
what the??
why??
He was in SF not long ago and walked into a video store in my neibourhood. He was friendly and down to earth. He jokingly asked if they had that movie “you, me and depree” for rent.
Emily is Chiniqua she is the only bottomless pit that has JA always on the mind. Grant most of the JP fans are equally unstable and could of typed that comment toss up really.
Owen, best of luck !
God help Owen in this complicated moment of his life… My prayers are with him and his family.
Suicide is a sin against God.
omg, he seemed like one of the most happiest men on earth.
To those who have made fun or have said some mean things, I hope you all go through something like this in your families. Let’s see how you’ll joke around then. Take a good look in the mirror before saying such mean things about someone who needs help. I pray for Owen and his family and wish them all the best.
Ok everyone is givng him their thoughts and prayers. I wonder if this was the most hated person in cyber space (JA) would everyone have opened their hearts and use the “just imagine if you was you” statement”. No one really knows what these celebs go thru every day the pressure the access etc. So I am wondering where his pity party comments are?
By the way, I hope he works thru what he needs to work through. He is obviously human and like all of us and like everyone else has issue’s.
I honestly don’t know if I should believe this or not. Perhaps I just don’t want to believe it. If it’s true, then my prayers are him, his brothers and the rest of their family. I love Owen!!
All my love to Owen Wilson and his family.
Hope the media will leave you alone.
so i guess its true what they say in some light, about comedians and depression. this is so very sad. he is such a handsome charming man =`( terrible terrible news. my heart is with him.
the prospect of co-starring with jennifer aniston in a movie was just too much for him. he figures it’s career suicide anyway so might as well just end it now. :(
to 96 itsofacto :
Why couldn’t it have been Jennifer Ansiton instead?
108 i understand
LOL !
I think I know why he did it. He’s not allowed to have his own life, the press lies about him and exaggerates sometimes. Reporters sneak around trying to get pictures of him and his “inside life” and never leave him alone. He’s always doing movies and never has time for his family and himself. He always has to walk around smiling having to look like nothing is wrong or tell anybody how he feels or it’ll be all over the magazines and internet by the next day. He has no privacy. But he’s a great guy. The minute I heard he had attemted suicide I didnt even here the part of him being alive, i thought he was dying so i spent all afternoon praying and begging god until I turned on the tv and found out he was alive. Im now praying for him and his family, I hope he never does that again. I nearly had heart failure. He’s a fantastic guy and actor and i no the world doesnt want to loose him.
This is not a time for sarcastic remarks. Owen is very talented and very loved. We are thinking of you Owen and wish only the best for you.
The world needs you. You bring so much joy to us. Please be well.
To those of you with your ugly remarks, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
109 thru 110
Reality check you are will never be with Brad or Angie - you are only their stalker and worst nightmare. JP fans are the worst kind of ppl walking this earth, every last one of them is mentally unstable.
Maybe the gulit of having a hand in breaking up Kate’s marriage did him in? Oh huh Angie maybe she is slowing trying to kill herself, ya know since she looks like the dawn of th dead.
@Johnell: Well said! *applauds*
Whether the rumors of his attempted suicide are true or not, I wish Owen Wilson a speedy recovery, both mentally and physically.
I just hope everything works out for him. I had a friend who attempted suicide many times and beleive me her family and friends went through hell! It was depressing to be around her and I had to always watched what i said and felt i had to be fragile with her. Although i do feel badly for Owen i feel worse for what his friends and family are about to go through. It just sux that he felt suicide would be the answer to his problems.
It is true, it was confirmed by the Police call.
It is strange because he did seem so happy-go-lucky. I guess he was seriously depressed to attempt killing himself… he’s didn’t seem like a guy to even get down in the dumps let alone a type of guy who’d try to kill himself, who’d want to die. A funny, charming guy we thought was a happy guy, one drawn to making funny movies, yet perhaps it was all a cover?
I wonder what makes a famous actor with everything going for him go home and decide to kill themselves? Some say it was that his ex Kate Hudson is dating that Jackass guy, but I doubt he’d attempt suicide over a relationship that had been over for a while now?
Now when I see him in comedies it’s just going to seem fake.
I do hope he gets better emotionally.
=[
Thats made me so sad =[
I would never have guessed either...
But some of you are right, we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.
So dont judge him guys... Lets all just give him our love and support him in trying to get better =]
WE LOVE YOU OWEN!!!!!!!!
poor guy. i hope he gets some help. he needs jesus for real
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW COULD A GUY SO HOTT COMMIT SUICIDE?!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
=(
*****.
Here’s to you, Owen, that you are still alive and with us. Here’s to your family, friends,and those who you don’t know but love you and help you along the way. Fight to be free of the pain, love yourself, and live. May God Bless you in these trying times and may God’s Peace be with you now and always.
this is one thing that i am glad didn’t end up in a horrific tragedy. i mean he knew what he was doing its just people go through stages in there life that they will never recover from maybe the pressure was just to much for him. stuff in life makes people go crazy. Britney spears for example shaved her head to send a message that something was wrong with her. . maybe Owen did it to get help. . he asked for help in the wrong way but maybe it was just his way of saying i cant do this on my own. . i pray for you Owen. . get better soon
Why, oh, why, Owen?
