Owen Wilson drops out of his new movie
Owen Wilson, hospitalized after an apparent suicide attempt, has dropped out of the upcoming ensemble comedy “Tropic Thunder.”
The 38-year-old actor will not appear in the DreamWorks movie, already six weeks into production in Hawaii. Sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to comment, told The Associated Press that Wilson was to have a cameo role in the film. “Tropic Thunder” stars Jack Black, Robert Downey, Jr., and Ben Stiller, who is also directing.
Wilson was taken by ambulance to a hospital Sunday after police responded to a call about a suicide attempt at his Santa Monica home.
Wilson’s next big-screen appearance is in “The Darjeeling Limited,” slated for release next month, in which he stars with Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. In an eerie coincidence, Wilson plays a distraught man - bandaged throughout the film - whom other characters imply has attempted suicide.
In related news Kate Hudson was said to be distraught when she heard about her ex’s attempted suicide.
A source said, “When she heard the news she broke down in tears and left the set.”
Kate was not the only one shocked about the news, close friend and co star of what was to be Owen’s next movie Ben Stiller could not believe what had happened.
