According to an upcoming issue of Us Weekly, Owen Wilson struggles with an addiction to cocaine and heroin. This battle reportedly brought on his suicide attempt last Sunday.
A depressed Wilson visited St. Monica church in his neighborhood on August 23, out of either devotion or desperation. Three days later, actor Luke Wilson, 35, found his brother in his Santa Monica, California, home with his left wrist slashed, having ingested a quantity of pills.
Owen, 38, who was immediately rushed to the hospital, is now recovering on the eighth floor of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where one staffer was overheard saying to another, “Owen Wilson cut his wrists with a knife.”
While the news stunned Owen’s fans, members of his and Hudson’s inner circles were reportedly all too aware of his private struggles with depression and addiction to cocaine and heroin. (A rep for Owen adamantly denies the actor has ever used heroin or cocaine.)
According to sources close to the actor, his downward spiral only worsened after his June split from Hudson, 28.
“We always thought he was just too fun-loving, but now it’s obvious he was just dealing with way too much to handle,” says a family friend.
