Aug 29 2007Owen Wilson was hooked on drugs

owen-wilson-suicide.jpg

Owen Wilson was reportedly struggling with depression and hooked on heroin and cocaine, and it was his drug addiction that caused his breakup with Kate Hudson. And who's to blame for all this? Apparently some British guy named Steve Coogan. The New York Post reports:

"I went through it with Steve," Coogan's former girlfriend, rocker Courtney Love, told US.

"I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs. I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends. I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy."

Wilson's addiction was so severe, his pal Woody Harrelson tried to stage an intervention at his home in Maui.

"Owen went to Maui, Hawaii, to kick his habit," a longtime Wilson pal told the mag. "He was like a baby on that couch."

The friend said that heroin was the first thing that came to mind when Wilson and Hudson split and he suddenly "disappeared off the face of the earth."

"I thought, briefly, he might be back on heroin, but we all really felt he'd kicked that ages ago," his friend said.

It's bad enough this Steve Coogan guy basically made Owen Wilson want to kill himself, but you seriously have to reexamine your life if Courtney Love calls you a bad influence. I saw her make out with a hypodermic needles once and the only complaint she had was that it was "kind of pokey."

He can suck it. He plays the same character in EVERY movie.

I pee on him.

If Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love are concerned..........you're fucked.

See, is that true that he really "disappeared off the face of the earth."?

Cos if so, why the fuck am I still reading about this scag junkie?

If you are gonna get gone - stay gone.

Holy shit! Jrzmommy summed it up pretty well in #3.

@3 what about Lindsay and Paris

I actually feel bad for him. I hope he can clean himself up.

Hah! Someone as universally hated as Courtney Love slagging off someone as loved (at least in Britain) as Steve Coogan...she's not on to a winner there!

He grew up in the most posh neighborhood in Dallas, he was sent to Military school as a teen because of his behavior issues, and now, drugs? Big Fucking Surprise. I hate rich kids.

Luke Wilson rules, however. Hotness factor is up there.

Normally I would make a comment about what a scummy person this is and that they can go fuck themselves, but there really are soooo many worse people than Owen Wilson. I, too, hope that he can kick that shit.

@9
When I was growing up, we used to go to up there to beat the shit out of the St. Mark's faggots for fun. Those rich pussyboy types.

Right, so OW's addictions are due to someone else not his inability to keep straight and just not get hooked in the first place..... Didn't love claim to be pregnant with Coogans baby once? Coogans funny, bloody funny, one of the best comedy actors of all time, Wilson may be more famous but has about a 10th of the talent and isn't remotley as funny.

Monkey Tennis any one?

This one is full of real dip shits - Owen, Woody and Courtney.
Could someone please toss a hand grenade in the room?

Great opportunity for Courtney to pull off a double homicide and finish it off with a well over due suicide.

Heroin RULES, and any of you who think otherwise obviously have not tried it and don't know how deliciously warm and fuzzy it makes you feel. Why, I'd do heroin all day long if it weren't for this job and the kid and the sponsibilities....
I love everything about smack, but the withdrawals will kill ya!!!

@14 I think I will run down the street to my local Herion dealer and get me a fix.

Well that's just great. He's not just a whiney wimp who "tries" to commit suicide like a 15 year old girl, he's also a spineless drug addict. I know, let's hand him some more money and fame and see if he feels better. Poor fella - what a hard life, being the brother who's always seen as the lesser talent. Wait, he's the successful one. Poor thing.

yummmmmm

#14 - I bet your kid disagrees.

Hi, I'm Owen Wilson. I'm known as the "Butterscotch Stallion" because of my hair and complexion, plus I'm reputed in Hollywood as having a big dick. This public knowledge has enabled me to fuck the hell out of tons of movie stars (like Kate Hudson) and normal chicks alike; despite the fact that my nose looks like a kid's Play-Doh creation and I have a voice that melts concrete. Every movie I'm in is fucking funny and has made me a ton of money. Oh, yeah... I'm rich too.

So, I decided to try to end it this week. Cut my wrist, took some pills, called it good.

Great story! Now we can look forward to 50 comments from simpering know-it-alls who will explain to us - patiently - that depression is bad (um-kay?) and addicition is bad (um-kay?) and suicide is bad (um-kay?) and death is nothing to joke about (UM-KAY?).

i dont understand why hollywood types do heroin. Coke is cool. Heroin is not.

i do coke..it pwns junk

It is pretty pathetic when Woody Harrelson is the one staging an intervention.

Does he have a movie coming out soon? Free publicity!

awwww i like Owen! but seriously, he is a lil crybaby bitch. even with a drug addiction... who the fuck cares? YOUR RICH BITCH! hahaha he could have gone to the lovely Promises resort, or even joined lindsay in utah. aye.

Well its no wonder he went into overdose............ snorting some coke and a nose like that?????? .. my god.. easy to get way way way more than you meant to.

Uh dude if your dead you can't do any more drugs. Duh.

He is such a DICK NOSE. He can't even kill himself. I hope he jumps off a building next time, and they leave his dead body there for awhile so everyone can laugh at him.

hahaha.....the intervention was taped secretly..........here's part of the transcript:

*Owen Wilson sobbing*

Woody Harrelson's voice: Dude, seriously, man.......it does looks like a dick.

*louder sobs*

I like Owen Wilson and I have to give him props for being able to keep in on the down low. That said, it sucks to be hook'd on anything. And yet, he kept working. Otherwise, I'd like to go on record and call him a douche for riding both the horse AND pony, and also to hope he finally leaves them alone.

14 FRIST

Yeah, I realized how yummy it felt and that's why I respected it and didn't get into it. Now, cocaine, however, I had no respect for. Coke was MY bitch. (or was it the other way around, hmmmm?)

Um, this is a bizare and surprising new development.

for a heroine addict he sure hides it well..compare Owen to Amy Winehouse, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson......they all look like strung out drug addicts, but Owen just looks like he needs a nose job

32--and his nose looks like it needs a blow job. AHAHAHAHA AHA AHAHAHA

If all this is because he's hung up on Kate Hudson, somebody should go out and buy him an 11-year-old blonde boy. I think John Mark Karr knows a guy who knows a guy who...

I guess it's not really surprising...Coogan's had a well-documented history of living the wild life. He's apparently just quieter about it than Courtney Love

#3....no lie...COURTNEY LOVE and WOODY HARRELSON staging an intervention? Wouldn't that be like George Bush holding a peace rally?

Obviously "Trainspotting" is not in his NetFlix queue...

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHH

stupid rich people

Does anybody have Steve Coogans phone #? Just wondering..

@38
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHH

stupid rich WHITE people..................................and a couple asians

24 HOUR PART-TAY PEEEEP HOLES YO!

Load of bollocks. It's Courtney Love saying it for Christ sake.

Heroin is NOT yummy! First it makes you barf, then it makes you nod. Not whatcha'd call a sociable party drug.

Now, smack and coke consumed at the same time will the top of your head off.

I only did it the once, deciding afterward that I'd rather keep my brains inside my skull casing.

That said, I like Owen and his movies and I was really pretty surprised by this recent news.

LMFAO Fish! Did you see Samual Jackson tell the reporters to FUCK OFF when he went to visit his bud?! That is a man true to his character right there!

43 -terry

never barfed on H. BUT then, I never did a whole bag either. Just enuf to feel it and have a nice time. BUT, never went further than that either; thank Dog. Now, base however, I wish I had never, ever tried. (That song wunt jokin, man!)

DON' DO IT, LUCY!!!!

Fuck him. If Owen Wilson tries to kill himself, then I should find a way to go back in time and off myself right after high school. That was the time that my potential was greatest. At my funeral, people would comment that "he was taken from us so young... he could have been a doctor or a lawyer."

In reality and ironically, those are the two professions I've required most since I graduated high school.

Bite me, Owen Wilson. Sorry life was so fucking good for you. Try not to get a blow job in the recovery ward... wouldn't want you to slip deeper into depression.

wow. Courtney Love should keep her disease ridden mouth shut. I highly doubt it's Steve Coogan's fault that Owen Wilson is addicted to drugs.

You've apparently never seen that award-winning performance in "Cable Guy" that Owen gave. Shame on you to say he plays the same character in every movie!!

I met Steve Coogan. He looks like shit and is really tiny, when he walks down a hall it's like you're back in the 18th century hanging out with Napoleon. He's kind of like a grown baby who barely seems to know where he is. I can very easily see how he would take a woman down, since women love charming, insane, drugged-out douchebags, but not Owen Wilson. Then again, Owen Wilson is a woman.

Dude should just stick to smoking crack. look what it did for Whitney.

Is it me, or did Steve Coogan's cool points just shoot way the fuck up? I always thought he was funny in his movies, but now I'm viewing him in this mephistophelian light. In fact, he might even really be a demon, reaping the souls of rich Hollywood fucks who only stay alive because they have staff around them that makes it difficult to die.

Does he even realise that Kate Hudson is actually a deformed mongol? What's he so "depressed" about. He done himself a favour when he ditched her. Give me his money and status anyday and I cerainly won't be attempting suicide. He could always TURN DOWN those typecast roles he's offered...

I'm sl glad Kate was there for him.
Oh, wait.

#3 said it.
Steve Coogan was good in "Coffee and Cigarettes", but beyond that being a junkie seems to be his main talent.

Isn't Kate Hudson another mother-about-town? She has at least one kid at home too doesn't she?

56-cent

mmmm... Owen has facial hair AND a penis nose.

Help me out here someone?

he didn't REALLY try to kill himself b/c were that the case, he WOULD have killed himself. ok, so say he's wacked out of his brains on 'dynamite,' and that his perceptions are skewed to say the least, he'd still have enough of a sense of awareness to CUT DEEPER or cut BOTH wrists or perform something DEFINITIVE. this is the cliched "cry for help".

luke called it in as a suicide attempt to expedite the rescue squad.

lastly, to #19, my understanding isn't that he's hung, but that he gives women (i'll give him the benefit of the doubt) oral to their ass -- like jamie foxx.

Ewweee--59.

61 bottles o' red bull on the wall, 61 cans, take on down pass it around....

#46 - Well played.

#54 - are you kidding?! He's Alan freakin' Partridge, for crying out loud. And if you don't know what that means, then you're not even qualified to pass comment.

Speaking of people not qualified to pass comment, since when is Love a credible witness to anything?

Some of you are so fucked up.

#20 People who say "um-kay" also use every other over-used catch phrase like "think outside the box" and "Hellooooo!" and "what, are you 12?" - you are abrasive and irritating and no one likes you. Sometimes your co-workers pretend to like you but they don't, not really. Try to find some original thoughts in a thesaurus of some kind and switch 'friends' frequently - that should increase your social accomplishments.

#44 Samuel L. Jackson is a truly fine man. And truly married. *looks heavenward and sighs*

um-kay (or mmmkay) is catch phrase - or catchword - of Mr Mackay, the guidance counselor on South Park, who is notably knee-jerky and humorless. i'm pretty sure that was the reference. just fyi.

I'm going to just come out and say it.. isn't he looking a wee bit chubby for a heroin addict? I mean maybe it's just this picture but.. eh..

And blaming someone's drug addiction on another person? That's not a low blow, that's just pathetic nonsense. Unless Steve Coogan attacked Owen and shot him up against his will, Owen's addiction is not his fault.

wow, I'm impressed, 67 comments and only one or two that said "awh leave him alone... blah blah" way to go Superfish people. You've given me a renewed belief in the intelligence of human kind.

I was always expecting all the little schoolkids to get on here and defend this lameass dipshit for his scagtaking, life-ending escapades.

Waw .. I never saw that comming, a drug addiction... shocking!

Owen Wilson has asked that the media leave him alone. Should he be left alone? Or does his status as a celebrity dictate a public interest into every aspect of his life? Join the debate on pollsb.com:

HA what a loser. well, i guess if i had a penis for a noise and only had one character i played in every crap movie i made id do myself in 2 - but id do it right.

lets say im a whiney bee-ich with a slew of idiots that watched my movies and gave me much undeserved fame and recondition -

im sitting there and crying in my soiled hundred dollar underwear and i want to take the chicken sh_t way out and punch my own ticket - BAM!! a double barrel right in the head!!
none of this slit your wrist wussy crap!!

give me a break... there are people out there with lives so screwed up it would turn his little wrist slitting tantrum in to a elmo cries because he spilled his milk sesame street episode. a lot of those people though it out for better or worse.

in a way im glad he he did not die - because he'd only be martyred and celebrated as a freaken fallen hero - and id probably never stop hearing about " The Giant Statue of Owen Wilson Goofy Noise" they'd build in his honor.

oh well- all i pray for is that his so called suicide attempt starts another dumb trend ( like wearing snow boots in the g dam summer ) and all the crap actors and worthless celebrities start sending there stinking souls to the bottom pits of hades!!!
AMEN

Thank you Frist, #14, for laying it on the line. That's the trouble with that shit - it's so good. And there are certain people out there, with a certain kind of emotional pain and body pain, that this drug is especially attractive for. I know I have to stay well the hell away from users because I'm afraid that I would still mess up and do it if I had the chance, and I'm too damned old for it.

Good luck to him - he can be a statistic or he can try to survive - it's up to him.

Jesus- what is it with people? doesn't anybody have any respect for their own health anymore? Fucking drug addicts- how can you be that STUPID???
anyone ever heard the phrase "your body is a temple?" Have you ever sat down and actually thought about what that means? RESPECT YOURSELF - like you would respect walking into the church. The only thing worse than a street junkie is a RICH junkie- life is so hard that the only thing people feel they can resort to is shooting up/smoking h to make all the "pain" go away??? Give me a fuckin break. I have a sister who is a junkie and anybody with half a brain would run the other way from that shit... how pathetic.

Who'd of thought that Alan Partridge would be slagged off be Courtney love of all people as a bad influence?
Nobody forced Wilson to snort crack and infect crap into himself

Poor guy... I feel sorry for him.

Owen Wilson addiction to drug was the sole reason for the break up with Kate Hudson...Depressed guy was not aware of what he is doing...I pity him greatly!!!
