What the hell?

[StrikeTwelve]

Other sources (see Wikipedia) say he had superficial wounds to his arms.

Silly Owen, it's down the road, not across.

[Jallen]

His only request was to not be overly covered by the media. Yes, he attempted suicide. He just got done with a horrible break-up with Kate Winslet and he is addicted to heroin. He is one of my favorite actors and i wish that the media would just leave him alone, but you know, that's kind of like telling a wall not to exist.

Slitting your wrists is not the way to do it, obviously.

[TriSlash]

It said in the papers he did "Hillbilly heroin". Sounds awesome. What is this and where can I score some?

[junglebunny]

I'd try to kill myself if my nose was all fucked up too

It's Kate Hudson, not Winslet.

Poor guy, I really like Owen Wilson, I hope he's going to be A-OK.

Well we can only hope that he his, then maybe his shit movies will leave with him.

It's like The Royal Tennenbaums all over again. :wail:

It's a synthetic version (I'm a druggie). I haven't had any in SOO long. I miss it so.

[Audioslave]

I don't get it.
This is less funny than You, Me and Dupree.

[Mr Anorexia]

At first I thought this was ironic because he tried doing this in The Royal Tenebaums, but then realized it was Luke that did that =\

Luke/Owen; Same person with different color hair..

[M1K3]

When I heard about this story I was pretty shocked, especially with some of the roles his acting character plays. Like in "You, Me, and Dupree" he was this happy-go-lucky guy who was always looking for the positives. Now in real life he is trying to slash his shit up.... half-assed even. Maybe he should have hired an assasin to kill him so he doesn't have to fuck it up again...

That's why they call it acting. It's just really good pretending...

[GSOM]

Everyone who works with Jackie Chan will eventually commit suicide.

[Shmuh]

Who cares?

[Mr Anorexia]

Who cares?
Owen Wilson fans?

[StrikeTwelve]

Everyone who works with Jackie Chan will eventually commit suicide.

Or die in a horrible carcrash.

That aside, I think it's funny when stars are suicidal. They are gifted with looks, money and success, yet when they ever have any kind of problem in their life, they try to commit suicide.

[Shagg]

Owen Wilson shoulda commited suicide.. Ever seen You, Me, And Dupree?

[Matterialize]

Oh, poor, poor Owen Wilson. He tried, and failed, to cut his wrists? Damn! Who cares about the fact that he's a hugely successful and popular actor and is known worldwide. He's only a fucking millionaire with immediate access to the world's best health and psychiatric care, not to mention pretty much any woman he wants. Plus there's all the added publicity he's gonna get after this stunt.

But no, never mind all that. Let's all just mourn this poor soul and pray that he gets better.

EDIT: I'm like Maddox :O

Wow, hilarious. A person trying to end their life. What a knee slapper :ahe:

[StrikeTwelve]

Yes, quite. When you consider how other people who have way more serious things to deal with are able to cope with their problems, yet stars aren't, doesn't it make you wonder whether they are mentally defunct?

[Mr. Crow]

But he's always a really happy guy in every single role he plays. :(

[Mr Anorexia]

Gee because nobody has ever killed themselves over stupider things than a horrible break up with somebody they cared about.

If they had nothing else to fall back on, durr, but we're talking about people who could buy a family and three dozen wives.

[Mr Anorexia]

Why would he want to buy a family and three dozen wives if he could have made a family with somebody he loved? cuz ur a fagh

[StrikeTwelve]

No I'm not :( .

Let's just agree to disagree. Though Owen Wilson is still an emo-tard in my eyes. :emo:

[Niki]

Yes, quite. When you consider how other people who have way more serious things to deal with are able to cope with their problems, yet stars aren't, doesn't it make you wonder whether they are mentally defunct?

Do you realize how much pressure they're put under every day? Every move they make is watched and reported on, they can't do a thing wrong or they're criticized by the media. That combined with a really bad breakup is enough to fuck ANYONE up.

[Mr Anorexia]

Because you are emo if you attempt to commit suicide?

[Cristo]

Yes, quite. When you consider how other people who have way more serious things to deal with are able to cope with their problems, yet stars aren't, doesn't it make you wonder whether they are mentally defunct?

Just because he's rich doesn't make him happy or give him no reason to commit suicide.

Someone living in a 15 million dollar mansion may have as valid a reason as someone in a shanty in Rio de Janeiro.

[StrikeTwelve]

Because you are emo if you attempt to commit suicide?

No you're an emo when you "attempt" to commit suicide by cutting your wrists across.

Yes, I realize they are put under pressure, but they got there by doing their jobs well, so they can handle the performance-part of their duties. Ofcourse they are being watched by the media, but who the floop reads those glamour magazines anyway? Preppy teenage girls and middle aged women with nothing else to do around the house. Surely they can put such petty things in perspective. It's their life, it's not like their carrier is going to be ruined when someone takes a photograph of them with a bottle of whisky in their backyard.

The only way that the media is going to ruin their carriers is when they actually do floop up by doing drugs or something like that.

Just because he's rich doesn't make him happy or give him no reason to commit suicide.

Someone living in a 15 million dollar mansion may have as valid a reason as someone in a shanty in Rio de Janeiro.

That's just the point, when you Google "Owen Wilson break up" the first article that pops up says they've been dating for a few months and that they are still friends, how does that justify a half-assed suicide attempt?

(Long post is long, you may say tl;dr and move on)

[Mr Anorexia]

It's half assed because somebody found him before he bled to death?

[Matterialize]

Besides, remember kiddos: It's not down the street or across the road - it's through the jugular.

[Far]

At first I thought this was ironic because he tried doing this in The Royal Tenebaums, but then realized it was Luke that did that =\

Well Luke Wilson's brother in Royal Tenebaums tries to kill himself so that's pretty coincidental.

I don't really care that he tried to do it but it does come as a pretty big surprise. He just doesn't seem like the kind of person that would.
But he's always a really happy guy in every single role he plays. :(
If this was true Behind Enemy Lines would have been a very different movie.

EDIT: Like, you know, properly..

He did cut his wrists AND overdose on pills. I don't think he had any intention of staying alive no matter which way he did cut his wrists.

[CnGy]

"and taking a lot of pills"

that's some professional news right there

[SLjimbolian]

He always had that laid-back demeanor on and off the screen. Now we know why?

[GCBC]

One bottle of pills is not that much in my opinion. It's till more than should be taken, but I have seen people who've taken six or seven bottles and still survived.

Why that there's an ENGLISH dictionary!
Naturally you'd have to use a medical dictionary for a medical term.

"Superficial: In anatomy, on the surface or shallow. As opposed to deep. The skin is superficial to the muscles."

http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=9285

Again, in the way it's used here, it's saying he's cut through the skin, not quite to the muscles. But the skin is where you'll find the blood vessels that need cutting anyway, no harm no foul. He still failed at failing.

[GCBC]

You mean, after all of the drugs have passed through their system? Those are some damn weak pills.

We got called to a residence a while back at 10 in the morning where a 23 year old female had injested roughly seven bottles of pills somewhere around midnight and had a BAC of .3something and her mother had found her on their living room couch, eyes rolled back into her head and covered in vomit. She was extremely fucked up and fought us trying to carry her out to the ambulance. We had to restrain her to a chair to move her. She ended up in the ICU but survived.

You have stumbled upon a site that does not fail! Congratulations! Anyways, when they say superficial, they probably mean that he only had a cut or two, which brings me back to my previous statement. :emo: Needs more razor-skills.

Owen Wilson is fail in general, I can only think of one movie he was in that I actually laughed at, and I was drunk at the time.

[Lag]

I'd be a camera whore and try n bug the paparazzi all the time if I was that famous.

Still, it's pretty pathetic that his first thought after breaking up with someone is "Gee, guess I have nothing better coming to me in MY poor, poor life."

I like Owen and all, but look at where you are in life. He gets paid more money to prance around on stage in frilly clothes or practically naked than a High School teacher trying to teach his students to be worth a damn in life.

Someone mentioned it before , but when you're constantly under the pressure of things like paparrazi you get claustrophobic and can't deal with it. That doesn't apply to everyone, but a LOT of people cannot cope with the stress of being hounded and being incapable of making a mistake as they'd risk their entire reputation - and in that their entire career. Some people just don't care, others are camwhores. (read Paris Hilton)

What I find funny is that you all preach about money as if it's the secret to happyness. Having money won't make your life anymore happy, more fun, possibly, interesting, certainly, but money doesn't equate to happyness, just short-term pleasure.

At some point in their lives, I'm sure everyone cracks from all of the pressure that's compounded over however many years, some just deal with it in different ways. Drinking seems to be one of the most common.

You know, a lot of that was just reiterating what I said.
But money CAN equal happiness for some people (really shallow and materialistic people, but people nonetheless), but what people need to realize is that it's not happiness for EVERYONE. Let's assume for a second that Owen is actually a REAL person, with REAL feelings, and his relationship was making him happy. Breakups are hard no matter who you are, and it must be worse for celebrities. Or maybe he had mental issues. Celebrities are people, they're not invincible. I can completely see why Owen wanted to kill himself, and it escapes me why some people can't.

If he feels so bad now that he wants to kill himself, he's probably going to try again once this ordeal is over.
Or get stronger drugs.

It's a shame, I enjoy him as an actor. Couldn't have been DiCaprio or Affleck.

[Stealth Prawn]

I'd try to kill myself if my nose was all fucked up too

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Owen is a terrible actor (he's always the comedy relief) he's butt ugly, and he has all the money anyone could want, but doesn't deserve it. Now, I hate Owen, but I certainly don't want him dead.

[I am homosexual]

I don't mind Wilson, although most of his recent movies were the equivalent of taking a nice, long shit on my optical nerves.

It's kind of ironic that all these rich, talented, and somewhat good-looking people known as actors have so many weird problems. I'd be happy and buy myself a dog or a Thai hooker.

Like a thousand people have already said: money can't buy happiness. Money will only give you a temporary spike in happiness, but you will quickly settle down to normal.

As an A-list celebrity, Owen has the media on him all the time. ALL THE TIME. Could you even imagine what it would be like to not be able to walk outside, to go on a date, to go to a friend's party, to spill ketchup on yourself, without pictures being taken and the context manipulated for magazine entertainment? Whoops, you slipped in a puddle and bashed your nose! Say hello to a couple of weeks of newspapers spreading gossip that you got into a fight with your girlfriend, and then the later-surfacing video footage of the incident being played on television again and again and again and again...

He had a really crushing breakup, coupled with probably rampant media coverage of the 'event,' and spiked with a drug addiction. Anyone would go batty.

That bit in wedding crashers with him reading don't kill yourself books seems weird now too...

That aside, I think it's funny when stars are suicidal. They are gifted with looks, money and success, yet when they ever have any kind of problem in their life, they try to commit suicide.


Agreed. They get there stupid asses addicted to shit, then go and feel depressed because of the fact they are addicts.

I swear, if I ever made it big like that, you'd never see my trying to kill myself, snorting coke or shit like that. I'd be the one of the cleanest celebrity's on the planet.

It's really difficult to kill youself by slitting your wrists. Poor man.
Next time he should just overdose.

I find it quite strange that so often people who make careers of being funny, are the most troubled.

Why do comedians always turn to drugs and suicide?

[xkittenxsocksx]

He's an unstable fag because the public think of him as a 'comedy' man, full of hilarity and happiness. This has got to him and now he's probably going to die.

Nobody with half a brain 'tries' to commit suicide, you either do, or you don't.

'Owen Wilson jumped head first into a woodchipper but his brother called emergency services and they came and rescued him before any serious damage was done.' See, it wouldn't work, I'm sure the guy could afford to hire a woodchipper for a day, but he didn't, he took some paracetamol and drew on his arms with a red pen.

On a lighter note, I love the guy as an actor.

[Souldrinker]

Do you realize how much pressure they're put under every day? Every move they make is watched and reported on, they can't do a thing wrong or they're criticized by the media. That combined with a really bad breakup is enough to fuck ANYONE up.

Then don't become a celebrity. It's common knowledge that this lifestyle is what you end up with, so if you don't want it then don't seek it.

And don't give me that unavoidable line. Guys like Johnny Depp stay hella away from all that shit. I'm mates with guys here in Australia who are famous sportsmen - those who don't want the fishbowl choose not to live that life.

He chose it, he deals with it. If he kills himself because he can't handle it, too bad. Some other talentless hack will take his place and make terrible films. Watch the tears run down my face.

[Vortex]

He did both. You didn't read it? :) Still though, overdosing is equally as retarded. Unless you take OBSCENE amounts of pills, chances are, you'll get rushed to hospital, stomach pumped, and survive with severe internal damage. I'd rather put my face on the train track just as it went past than -try- to kill myself with pills and be 'saved' in 20 times more of a state than you were.
