Wilson Requests Privacy After Reports Of Suicide Attempt

Actor Requests Privacy To Heal

POSTED: Monday, August 27, 2007
UPDATED: 5:47 pm CDT August 27, 2007

Actor Owen Wilson was reported in good condition Monday, a day after he was taken from his home by an ambulance following reports of 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 Monday.

Several entertainment magazines and TV programs reported Monday that Wilson had overdosed on pills, although no one from Wilson's camp would comment.

A neighbor said a police car, fire truck and ambulance were outside the actor's gated house Sunday around noon.

"These guys were kind of taking their time taking a stretcher out of the ambulance, then they went into the house," said neighbor Geoffry White, 61, who lives directly across the street.

Cynthia Harding, a spokeswoman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said that Wilson was at the hospital "in good condition," but Santa Monica Fire Battalion Chief Jose Torres would not comment on Wilson's injuries or condition, citing federal privacy laws.

Wilson, 38, has starred in such hit films as "Meet the Parents," "Zoolander," "Shanghai Noon," "Starsky and Hutch" and "Wedding Crashers."

Last year, he voiced the lead for the computer-animated family comedy "Cars" and also starred in the hits "You, Me and Dupree" and "Night at the Museum."

Wilson soon will star in the comedy "The Darjeeling Limited," directed by his "Royal Tenenbaums" co-writer Wes Anderson. Wilson and Anderson were nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for "Tenenbaums" in 2002.
