Owen Wilson Archives

After the lovable star’s shocking suicide attempt, friends open up about the dark side of a funny man who had it all…

Owen Wilson naturally takes the front cover of People this week two days after being hospitalized for an attempted suicide. It’s a bit more of a dignified approach to Owen’s “addition, despair and secret pain” compared to Us Weekly’s salacious cover. The world needs both apparently!

Owen, 38, also just dropped out of the DreamWorks’ ensemble comedy Tropic Thunder, according to Variety.

“Ben [Stiller] and Owen have made eight movies together,” a source close to the project said. “And he can’t wait to work with Owen again. It’s just not going to be on this film.” Stiller began shooting the film in Hawaii six weeks ago.
