Owen Wilson has tried to kill himself over the weekend.
Film star Owen Wilson has asked to be allowed to "heal in private" following news reports he was taken to hospital in Los Angeles after a suicide attempt. "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," Wilson said in a statement.
A Cedars-Sinai Medical Center spokeswoman told the AP news agency Wilson, 38, was in a "good condition".
No official reason has been given for Wilson's hospitalisation.
Hit comedies
Santa Monica police and fire department issued a statement saying that medical help was sent to Wilson's address in Santa Monica, on Sunday.
The statement said "a person" was taken to a local hospital, but did not provide any details.
Wilson's spokeswoman, Ina Treciokas, did not comment on the actor's statement or discuss his medical condition.
Wilson is regarded as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, having appeared in a string of hit comedies.
maybe he just watched back You, Me and Dupree and tooka course of action....
Just think people, without Owen, we wouldnt have gold like Zoolander (great drunk film i might add) or Wedding Crashers. Yes he has made some crap, but he has also made some very good movies.
