Luke Wilson Visits Brother Owen

Luke Wilson Visits Brother Owen

Luke Wilson joins friends and family to be at older brother Owen’s side at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood on Monday. Also pictured visiting the hospital: actor pal Woody Harrelson.

It was recently confirmed that Owen did, in fact, attempt suicide and he has been depressed for the last few months. But it’s not over a broken relationship, reports state.

Extra reports, “The Calls For Service report from the Santa Monica Police Department, which lists the reason for the 911 call from Owen Wilson’s house as an “attempted suicide.” The call was received on Sunday, August 26 at 12:08:16pm. The incident was ‘cleared’ almost five hours later at 5:07:16pm.”

Owen recently released this statement via his rep:”I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”

aww,,,owen, all my prayers are to you..and pls. get over with kate….

# 2

Wow - Luke Wilson looks so sad. It is very heartening to see his family and friends pull together for him. Be well Owen.

# 3

It is very odd. I wonder what on earth happened. I hope he gets well soon.

# 4

Why does everyone turn his depression into a soap opera? The Kate Hudson break-up was months ago. Can’t a guy commit suicide over something other than a girl?

# 5

I love coming to this site and looking at celebrity photos, but when an awful thing like this happens and photographers are stalking the hospital to get a new picture….it really pisses me off.

Yeah, celebs make millions of dollars, but do they really deserve to have no human courtesy.

# 7

I agree with Susan. You would think that they would leave the Wilsons alone since it’s such a serious thing. I really feel for the family - but at least it seems Owen has a lot of good people supporting him.

# 8

I’m so happy to see his family and friends really supporting him. Hopefully now he will realize that he is not alone in the world. There are always people who love you whether they say it to you often or not.

Get better soon Owen! We need your laughter.

i hope the best for owen and his family. i love love loved the wedding crashers

jesus christ, leave this family alone.

Whatever his issues, my prayers are with him and his family in this difficult time. I can only hope that he has an opportunity to really appreciate life and the love he is receiving from his family.

Who the heck took that picture? No respect for the sick????

He looks like he is pleading with the photographers to leave them alone. I love getting gossip, but my heart goes out to the family that is trying to deal with this and get Owen better.

Oh, that picture of Luke is heartbreaking. :(

There has to be a small solace in the fact that he made it in time and that Owen is still with them even in the tragic state he’s in.

Patmycrotch @ 08/28/2007 at 1:27 pm

I agree with you Susan, I didnt even look at the pics below. Give them some time and space.

I wish Owen well, but please respect his wishes - leave them alone - don’t buy or publish the pictures of the Wilsons.

Luke looks so upset, like #13 said, he looks like he’s pleading with the photogs to quit it. So sad. What a horrible thing for a family to have to go through. It looks like Luke is coming with some pizza to cheer his brother up, though. So sweet.

There’s something seriously wrong with U.S. law when police can reveal info like that to vultures. It’s sickening.

Luke looks so worried. :(
They’re in my prayers.

Owen is a briliant writer. Depression is an awful thing. My thoughts and prayers are with him.

My thoughts and well wishes are with Owen and his family right now. It’s nice to see his family and friends by his side but the whole world doesn’t need to see it. Out of respect, I think these pictures should be removed.

i like the culture of celebrities and looking at their photos, its a fun, mindless thing to do while i eat lunch but it really becomes a bit tasteless and cruel to continue to hassle a family while they are going through such a difficult time.

This is so sad. Luke looks utterly distraught over his poor brother as well any sibling would. I think the media should give them some privacy going to visit Owen, this is just too personal and painful.

Thoughts and prayers to Owen and the whole family at this difficult time.

I am so saddened by this. As someone who knows those thoughts I can relate.I do hope the media does not run amok with this as it often times is not just about one thing. That empty void has been there far longer then a simple break up.
I hope him a speedy recovery and well wishes.

I really like the Wilson boys. I will be praying for Owen’s complete recovery…There really needs some type of limitations on the paps especially when it comes to children, sickness and death. Looking at Luke’s agony is just heartbreaking…The paps need to bug off…

Poor Luke. That picture makes me cry.
I hope Owen gets the help he needs to recover fully.

Poor Owen. What’s wrong with the lighting in that hospital? Get well buddy.

He is very lucky to be alive (I hope he sees it as that) because researches show that it is mainly women who survive attempted suicides with men usually being successful at first go. He seriously needs to get help and address his issues cause in these early days he’s not out of the woods yet. Most people will go on to attempt again with some being successful. Get help Owen, life is precious and God saved you for a reason.

How awful for Luke to have been the one to find him. Sounds like the three are close and this must have cut his heart to pieces. Shame on the intrusive paps and mags.

spiderman @ 08/28/2007 at 2:57 pm

I am pretty sure you are not allowed to take these photos in the hospital. I feel for the family because that is total invasion of privacy.

spiderman @ 08/28/2007 at 2:59 pm

You know what’s sad is that so many homeless people get harassed and asked to leave private property, but these paparrazzi seem to be immune from any lawsuits or laws.

I really think that you should take this down. This is NOT gossip news or something that should be up on a celeb gossip/posting site. This is a serious FAMILY issue and you should RESPECT his and their privacy Jared and take this down. You are promoting the paps taking pics of his family and him in a horrid and sad time in their lives. I know saying this is prob just a waste but,
PLEASE TAKE THOSE PHOTOS DOWN.

Paparazzi go away…..

We love and bless Owen Wilson with a speedy and healthy recovery!

just look at his face
its terrible feeling to be close to lose someone beloved
you should’t publish these pics
they are too personal…

feel really sorry with that

These pictures are so intrusive, I wont look at them. I think we should respect their privacy. I know if my brother were Owen last thing i would want to see are the paps.

My thoughts are with his family.

Not a fan, however, this is just sad for whatever reason and Luke Wilson’s face says it all.

why would you pay for and post these pics, only to encourage the photogs even more, when the family has asked for the media to respect their privacy? Thats poor form. A suicide attempt is not entertainment

Wilson Love @ 08/28/2007 at 4:06 pm

I’ve always liked Owen Wilson, although I tended to think of him as kind of a shallow, woman-chasing man *****. Now, I feel bad for thinking of him like that. Get well, Owen!

operaghost @ 08/28/2007 at 4:13 pm

Oh my gosh, that picture of Luke is just gutwrenching. I wish the Wilson family all the best at this difficult time.

aww man ..that poor thing.owen is soooo talented.i am shocked,I just hope he gets better.

There must be a better way to rally behind the Wilson brothers right now. These pictures are wrong Jared, we should not invade this human tragedy. You need to take these pictures down. This is a very challenging time for this family and we need to find ways to show love, concern and healing…not gawk at their angst! My heart goes out for all of them…

I agree, please take this story off.

You post these photos and then you put Owen’s statement pleading for privacy afterwards. Um, what about this post is doing that? This is just very uncouth.

I am glad that Owen is feeling better, BUT leave him and his family alone!! looking at those pictures to see how scared and worried Luke looks makes me sick that nobody is regarding his privacy!

no comment but just
TAKE THOSE PHOTOS DOWN!

not comment but just
TAKE THOSE PHOTOS DOWN.

I wish Owen and the Wilson family all the best.
Justjared, you are my fave website.

However, please leave this family alone !!
Please take the photos down.
They deserve their privacy.

Please take these pictures down, JJ.

I agree with some of the others who think pictures of visitors for Owen is disrespectful. I’d rather not see them and it’s worse when I can see the pain on Luke’s face. No, I didn’t want to see the pictures. A simple report that Luke visited his brother is enough. But more, I feel so much for Owen and hope he has a full recovery - both physically and emotionally. I’ve always liked Owen both on screen and of what I’ve seen him away from films.

I won’t look at any more invasive pictures related to Owen’s current condition.

LEAVE THEM ALONE!! I agree with everyone else…..give them some time to help Owen heal and STOP stalking that poor family! JUST STOP IT ALREADY!!!!

posh mini me @ 08/28/2007 at 9:24 pm

Please take these pics down…the paps have gone too far. This is not right!!!

Maria Mendez @ 08/28/2007 at 9:38 pm

Must say I agree — I thought Luke was shallow, but he obviously adores his brother…leave them alone….get better Owen

I agree - those photos are too invasive and shouldn’t be purchased or posted. The Wilsons are facing a very serious issue and should be allowed to come and go from the hospital and heal in peace.

Luke’s face is heartbreaking. I can’t imagine having the world stalking me as I was dealing with a family member’s suicide attempt.

Man, this is messed up. Look at the look on Luke’s face. His brother is in critical condition for ****’s sake. Don’t the paparazzi have better things to do? Isn’t Britney headed for another breakdown or wearing something really hideous? Isn’t Nicole Richie sucking on a crack pipe while patting her pregnant belly? Isn’t Paris getting stuffed by some greasy gigolo? Take pictures of that. ****.

Sorry, but when it comes to **** like this, leave the guy alone. Unlike the usual celebutards, I doubt he did this as a publicity stunt (I’m waiting for Paris and/or Lindsay full pap coverage of their suicide attempts now that Owen is getting all the attention). Let the man have some dignity.

kikichanelconspiracy @ 08/28/2007 at 10:17 pm

That picture of Luke Wilson is seriously in bad taste. He’s clearly distraught, you’d think the photographer would have a least a speck of humanity and give him space.

From having a family member who commited suicide when I was young and knowing what it is like and knowing what they must be going through. Seeing this picture is gut-wrenching. Seriously, this is bad taste. Take it down.

littlechickadee1127 @ 08/28/2007 at 10:32 pm

best wishes to a healthier Owen…I hope you find peace and happiness soon! Get well soon!

Cocoaartist @ 08/28/2007 at 11:15 pm

The personal pics should have never been published. How horrible.

aw thats horrible. I hope all the best for him and that he gets better and hopefully doesn’t try that again. =(

I agree. Bad taste.

We constantly hear from magazine editors who defend their publications, in regards to intrusive pap photos as required because everyone else is doing it and the public’s appetite demands. I agree with everyone else who posted comments that this photo is in such bad taste, is completely unnecessary for a show of Wilson Family support, and only further torments and frustrates a family who are probably going through one of the possibly worst situations. I gain nothing from this photo but disgust for the pap who went to such scummy lengths and sadness because I thought Jared was above posting such tabloid pics and had at least some respect for the celebs. By posting these photos, it makes Editors feel warranted in printing them and pap’s feel justified in finding more instrusive and destructive ways to seek the elusive shot. PLEASE TAKE THESE DOWN.

Wow, the paparazzi really are animals, aren’t they? Luke Wilson found his near-dead brother a couple of hours ago and this is the sympathy he gets; “smile I want make easy money by putting a photo of your sobbing, bewildered mug in a gossip rag”. People who support this type of callous behavior should be…oh, wait.

callgirl3 @ 08/29/2007 at 5:19 am

Yeah, not even Perezhilton stooped this low by posting these pics of Luke and that’s saying a lot.

Take down the photos Jared, show the poor dude some respect.

fan in utah @ 08/29/2007 at 3:08 pm

Suicide is a desperate act; to attempt suicide is a personal tragedy that deeply affects the victim and his family. It’s not for us to decide what or why, nor should we judge Owen. He is a multi-talented man who obviously is dealing with some personal issues, and we should respect his privacy and hope that he will be okay. It’s obvious that he didn’t want publicity from this situation, and we have no right to intrude.

If you want drama, attack the celebutantes and the bizarre antics of the partying pop tarts. But allow this man to heal in private and to reconnect with those who love him the most.

Lisa Angel @ 08/29/2007 at 5:32 pm

Owen, good times to come my friend. this is just a small bump in the road. we will once again be laughing with and at you. all my strength to you and know “I am always on your side” - see you soon. love you lots.

What a sad thing. My heart just broke when I heard the news. Owen is one of the guys you just cant help but like. My prayers goes out to him and his family. They will need each other…………

Please take away these pictures! I dont understand ho you can be so heartless to post them!!! This is terrible this lack of respect and inegrity! TAKE THEM AWAY!!!!

Christine @ 08/31/2007 at 2:05 am

I actually don’t feel bad for him. I find it hard to be sympathetic towards someone with that much money, he could afford the best drugs that money could buy. He has the opportunity to receieve everything he wants. He has been one of my favorate actors for so long, but I lost all respect for him. He has so much going for him and he could make a huge difference for so many people, and its selfish to try and kill yourself just because things aren’t going your way. Hopfully he realises how many people he has hurt in this process of hurting himself. I wish his family luck and peace.

JustPassingBy @ 08/31/2007 at 9:12 pm

Luke’s anguish in those photos is exactly why you should take the pictures down.

This is far too private to be made a public spectacle.

Please have some respect. :(

Look at Luke. =[
That’s bloody heart-breaking.
