Director Says Owen Wilson 'Doing Better'
Owen Wilson is "doing well" and making colleagues laugh again, said the director of his latest film.
Wes Anderson, who directed Owen in "The Darjeeling Limited," said Monday, "Obviously he has been through a lot this week... I can tell you he has been doing very well, he has been making us laugh."
Anderson, who has worked with Owen for years on various films, added, "When he is ready he's going to speak for himself much better than any of us could."
Owen was rushed to the hospital Aug. 26 after an apparent suicide attempt at his Santa Monica home. He is now out of the hospital and staying under the close watch of family and friends.

Get well soon Owen. Not that you have a computer, or that you read these silly things, but I have been reading a lot of blogs about you. I very rarely write a blog, but I felt compelled to express what I’ve seen. So many ordinary, everyday people are on your side. I was glad to read the nice things people said about you. Everyone wants to see you healthy and being creative and motivated in a positive way again. I thought, if he knew that, it would maybe help in some way. I would also like to comment about a site that I accidentally clicked on thinking I was just reading an update about Owen’s recovery. To the scum who took, and then printed those totally invasive photos of Owen coming home, as if they were hiding in his garage, SHAME ON YOU! For some reason this correlation makes sense. Go watch “To Kill a Mockingbird” ok? “They don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Just as it’s a sin to harm someone who just wants to entertain us, especially when they’re down and hurting. What you people did was a sin. Shame! Shame! Shame!
