A source who is purportedly close to Owen Wilson acknowledged this devastating information to the syndicated entertainment show "Extra."
The unnamed source told "Extra" that Wilson has been depressed for the last few months, but insisted it is not over a broken relationship with blond actress Kate Hudson. The source also said that Wilson's brother, fellow actor Luke Wilson, found him and that Wilson's family and friends are shocked.
Wilson, 38, had been taken to the hospital but didn't say why. TMZ published a statement from the Santa Monica Police Department: "On Sunday, Aug. 26, 2007, at 12:10 p.m., officers from the Santa Monica Police Department responded to a medical assistance call from the Santa Monica Fire Department at the 900 block of 23rd Street. The person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated."
According to "Entertainment Tonight," Wilson was later brought to the Beverly Hills' Cedars-Sinai Hospital where he detoxed. Anonymous sources said Wilson suffered from dehydration. The show also reported that brother Luke Wilson was spotted leaving Cedars-Sinai on Sunday night with their brother, Andrew. People magazine said Owen's parents also visited.
Wilson, who recently broke up with actress Kate Hudson, was nominated for an Oscar for "The Royal Tenebaums" screenplay. He has starred in many box-office blockbusters such as "Zoolander" with Ben Stiller and the thriller "Behind Enemy Lines" with Gene Hackman.
Most recently, he starred in "Night at the Museum," with Stiller and is slated to star in the film adaptation of the book "Marley and Me."
