Owen Wilson Attempts Suicide

[kmccormi]

Especially shocking since he plays characters that are usually high as a kite on life and humor ... the contrast between fiction and reality is jolting. I wish him the best recovery ...

 

[yellowetpink]

really shocking!

I hope he gets well, he was such an ace actor!

 

[keroppi]

I can just mirror others' sentiments...this came as a complete shock to me. I don't know what's happening in his personal life, but I pray him well

if this is true, that "source" is a real @$$hole blabbing to the press about it.

the whole scene with his brother luke wilson from 'the royal tenenbaums' is playing through my mind

i hope he finds the support he needs to get through this!

 

[christina126]

How shocking! I'm still a little hesitant to believe the suicide attempt rumors but quite a few gossips mags and sites are reporting it. I just am so glad he's alive and I hope he gets the help he needs. He seems like such a funny and sweet guy.

 

[Salvatore]

Very sad and random at the same time.
Hope he gets better soon as depression is a very ugly thing that takes alot to get out of.

 

[city girl]

Very sad..the last person you'd expect. I hope he feels a little bit better soon

 

[silk skin paws]

I hope he gets the help that he needs. Sometimes it take the person to hit rock bottom before realizing that they can't do this alone.

Worst thing about this is that everyone knows.

Worst thing about this is that everyone knows.

Exactly

And for Kate Hudson as well, people will always speculate that the break-up was what pushed him to such measures, when it's something that no one except Owen himself will ever know or understand...

 

[Juliet]

Jesus I'm glad he was taken to the hospital... the thought of him being lost is too much.

 

[lunabella]
