LOL, I know right. Its really not funny, I love Owen's Movies. I would hate to see him end up like chris farley or john belushi. So sad, and such a waste.

I love him, too, but sometimes you have to find humor in the dark places - else we'd all be barking mad, I suspect!
Very true. I LOVED him in The Wedding Crashers, him and Vince Vaughn are great!

Bottle Rockets, Meet The Parents, Wedding Crashers, etc..etc..he's a talented person - a writer, actor, producer - just very talented in many ways. It sounds like he has a strong family support system, a lot of support in notoriously dodgy Hollywood and a lot of support from fans. I have real hope for him!

I hope he reads all the wonderful things people are saying about him. He needs to know how many people care.
Prayers for Owen.

I asked my son, age 27, who's always been a big Owen fan; and he said the buzz around here among the younger set is that "he just couldn't get over Kate Hudson".
He said it so "quickly and matter-of-factly", and since Owen frequents this town alot; that there might be at least some truth to this. He could have relapsed and gotten back on drugs when they broke up.

Friends tried to intervene.

It's got to be so hard to live in the Hollywood limelight. It's one thing to break down and only your friends and family notice but totally different when the whole world is watching you. I hope that Owen can recover. I really enjoy him as an actor.

I always thought Luke was the older of the two....I guess he just seems more mature.

I agree. Not to mention the personality traits that it seems you must possess to even be a famous artist of any sort.
Not to mention the fact that such celebrities are really corporations, sometimes with hundreds of people depending on them for their livelihood.
I get the flu, I call in sick, no big deal. No so easy for Mr. Wilson and the like.
Obviously, there are great rewards, too, so I don't mean we have to feel sorry for movie stars. But I'm not surprised that the pressure sometimes gets to them.

I'm surprised noone's even mentioned Night At The Museum. He was so funny in that!

I saw on MSNBC this evening that his attorney says he did NOT overdose. He had been taking antidepressants, but slit his wrists before the emergency call or whatever. He has dropped out of the movie he was making.
Then I saw on the local TV news here that he has left the hospital already, for an unknown location. (treatment of some sort?)
Robin Givens was interviewed on Fox news this afternoon about a book that she has written about her depression. She said alot of times celebreties feel they must HIDE their depression, act like everything's OK, etc.
As many have noticed, young celebrities who make it big, just haven't had enough time to be mature about life, and they can make alot of bad mistakes. He dropped out of college, and "delved into girls", most likely; enjoying the bucks, travel etc.
But all of a sudden you wake up - "who am I, really?", are these the friends I want to keep hanging around with, who will I spend the rest of my life with; are these the values my family taught me?
She pointed out he's so different from other stars like Britney, Lindsey, he hasn't done alot of things to make people lose all respect for him. Everyone interviewed in E! tonite (Jane Seymour and others) said they were totally shocked, and what a neat guy they thought he was.
I think he's going to get alot of fan mail and find out who his real friends are, and that people are there for him.

I'm so glad the 911 call can't be obtained or put on the air. I heard police intervened in this one and will not allow the 911 to be heard. They said if it was something considered criminal, that's ok. But something medical shouldn't and sometimes can't be put out there for people to here. It was said the 911 call by Juakeem (sp?) Pheonix should never have been released when his brother River died.

I heard the 911 call that river phoenix's brother made the night he died of a drug over dose. It was gut wrenching.
I am so glad the cops are not going to release this tape. It serves the public no use other than to "Gawk" by the way of hearing, another family's tragedy.
I agree. I felt so uncomfortable listening to that call and often think of it when I see Joaquin in a movie.

I've had an urge to send him a greeting card myself.. However, I wouldn't know where to send it AND he probably won't even read it.. My heart really does go out to him more so than others... Still praying for Owen..

You never know; he might read them eventually. Couldn't you google Owen Wilson + officical fan site, or something like that.
I notice he is on the cover of the People Mag. that came out today. The title says, "Addiction and Despair - Owen Wilson's Secret Pain". Supposedly friends open up about his "dark side of a funny man who had it all."
I haven't read it yet.

Obviously my heart aches for anyone who wants to end their life- Owen is a handsome man and a great actor and I hope things turn around for him, I hope he learns to want to live, I hope he learns to look forward to a new day!
My "more so than others" is Robert Downey Jr.- I have this soft spot for him that I can't even explain in words..

lostgrl I know what you mean about Robert Downey jr. I have the soft spot for him also. I think it could be his sad look or his puppy dog eyes but for some reason I always feel like 'awww' when I see him. I know he struggles and it's not fake or for attention. My heart breaks for Owen also he is another one that just seems like a good all around guy and I wouldnt wish him any bad in his life. (not that I would wish anyone bad)
