Hollywood actor Owen Wilson is being treated for a suspected suicide attempt, according to reports out of the US.

The Wedding Crashers star allegedly cut his wrists after swallowing a number of pills at his Los Angeles home.

The National Enquirer editor-in-chief David Perel told gossip website PerezHilton.com: “Owen Wilson has now been transferred from St. John's to another Los Angeles area hospital. His brothers Andrew and Luke are with him.

His parents were also seen visiting Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday night.

Perel added: “Andrew found him after the suicide attempt and called an ambulance. Both of Owen's wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills.

4. It happened shortly after he started drumming for Spinal Tap..

...there was an article in Rolling Stone that Owen "Stumpy" Wilson was pursuing a musical carreer with the legendary Brittish rock band when this happened. Bizar story, really.

10. Sorry, took until

my second cup of coffee to get it.

[Ghost in the Machine]

3. Did he finally watch Zoolander?

:shrug:

and he was great in it.

15. Everyone in that movie should have gotten an Oscar.. anyone who could keep

a straight face while filming that movie *has* to be a comedic genius! I personally thought it was so stupid that it was funny. Kinda like the 3 Stooges.

5. This man gave much joy. Which didn't help him, I guess.

That he could be in so much personal pain is not, actually, all that funny.

6. I bet he was heart broken

"Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson split in June"

13. their kids would have been so blonde

if only they'd stayed together.

[shenmue]

7. No!

That's awful.

:cry:

:(

I hope he gets better.

8. Wow, what a shock. I just watched Cars this weekend - great

movie - much more for adults than kids, IMO. Loved the "Freebird" reference.

9. Poor bastard

he lives right down the street from us too, here in Hawaii.. hope he gets back here soon, all healed up.

And I hope the press doesn't HOUND him into an early grave over this, and give the guy a break.

Shit, and I've been trying to get my Book to him, I've got a part for him in the Movie version, all he needs to do is sign on :)

Called The Jesus Bolt, that bit of metal that holds all the blades on a helicopter TOGETHER.. my wife came out to me this afternoon, while I was playing with my son, and told me "Owen Wilson looks like he lost his Jesus Bolt.."

Don't take it the wrong way, that's how we describe people losing it since I wrote my book, with The Jesus Bolt being the overarching metaphor for just this kind of thing, keeping oneself together.

I hope he gets it BACK, he's obviously a sensitive guy. Too bad.

Get well, dude, come and see us when you do :)

12. Nothing funny about suicide

My brother attempted it 8 years ago.

14. thank god he didn't have a gun to try it with...
