I know it’s news broke in the National Enquirer, but I got there through Drudge. Damn… I never would have seen this [coming…](http://www.nationalenquirer.com/owen_wilson_hospitalized/celebrity/64164) If it’s true, I hope he pulls through. ---

Hope it’s not true. If it is, I did NOT see this coming. You can never quite know what’s going on between the ears of even the most happy-go-lucky actor dude. ---

Googling “owen wilson suicide” brings up a lot of hits, but every single one is something like People Magazine citing The National Enquirer citing Star. Many reports, one very unreliable source. ---

There have been several blind gossip items lately about one of a famous pair of actor brothers being seriously into heroin. Speculation was that it was one of the Wilson brothers. It’s sad tho’, I like both of them. ---

Also cites Entertainment Tonight for part of the report, though. I don’t think ABC would run the story unless they were pretty confident. ---

Jeez. If any of it is true, I hope he gets the help he needs. I feel bad for the guy and his poor family, going through all this. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/owen-wilson-attemps-suicide/417055.md?page=2)
