This news has just completely caught me of guard. Owen Wilson, one of my favorite comedic actors, has been hospitalized after reportedly attempting suicide last night. Most of the reports are claiming (although a couple have differing accounts) that Wilson slit his own wrists. Owen Wilson recently split from Kate Hudson, but really nothing is known right now about what lead to the attempt, or what his motivation behind it is.
Listen folks, I rant and rave about movie crap all the time, it’s what I’m passionate about… but I try to keep in mind that at the end of the day it’s really not that important… it’s just the movies. Well… this is REAL life, and a harsh reminder that sometimes people hurt a lot, even when they’re rich and famous.
Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Owen Wilson, and to Wilson himself at this time. His life, no matter how hard things may have seemed to him before last night … is about to get a lot more complicated and tough in the coming weeks and months.
