Good news about Owen Wilson finally! The actor is back home where he is resting and recovering under the protective watch of his family.
After days of reading sad reports about Owen Wilson’s suicide attempt, speculations about what could have led him to such desperate measures and more than sufficient details about the 911 call and emergency trip to the hospital, Owen is finally better.
People.com reports that the actor has returned to his Santa Monica home where friends and family are keeping around the clock watch on him.
A source reportedly said: “Owen is in bad mental shape but said he is thankful to be alive. He knows he came close to ending his life, and he is happy that he was saved from himself. He is basically at home with people watching him 24/7.”
Reuters quotes another source, this time not the anonymous kind, giving good news about Owen.
Wes Anderson, who directed the comedian in the “The Darjeeling Limited,” was at the Venice Film Festival this weekend, promoting the film. Asked about his star, who unfortunately missed the event, Anderson said Owen was “very well.”
“We all miss having him here very much right now,” said Anderson. “Obviously he's been through quite a lot this week, but I can tell you that's he doing very well and making us laugh, and when he's ready he's going to speak for himself much better than any of us could.
“He's got a very good way with words,” the director added.
Owen was hospitalized Aug. 26 after brother Luke Wilson found him in his home. The only words he told the press were, “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”
The 38-year-old has had to drop out of “Thunder Tropic,” a film directed by actor and personal friend Ben Stiller. The decision was reportedly made by both actors together.
“The Darjeeling Limited,” co-starring Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman, tells the story of three brothers striving to reconnect after the death of their father. Owen’s character is a suicidal man.
