London, Aug 29 (ANI): Actor Owen Wilson’s suicide attempt came after a three-day drug binge in which took on crystal meth and deadly pills dubbed hillbilly heroin.

Hillbilly heroin is another name for Oxycodone - a powerful prescription-only painkiller used for terminally ill. Highly addictive, it is swallowed, snorted or injected.

Crystal meth is a highly addictive form of amphetamine, or speed, which gives rapid high similar to crack, lasts two to 12 hours. It is usually smoked

Wilson is currently recovering in hospital after slashing his wrists over the weekend.

An already depressed Wilson is said to have been pushed over the edge by magazine photos of former ladylove Kate Hudson kissing her new beau, comic Dax Sheppard.

The actor was found by his elder brother Andrew who immediately called the cops after which he was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The Santa Monica police has confirmed that the officers responded to a ‘suicide attempt’ call.

Hudson, in the meanwhile, is said to be distraught over the news that Wilson tried to commit suicide.

"She looked upset and was on the phone, pacing back and forth," the Mirror quoted a source, as saying.

"Then her handlers came out and covered her with an umbrella, she was ushered into a white vehicle and then took off."

Wilson and Hudson hooked up on the sets of their movie ‘You, Me and Dupree’. However, a few months into the relationship they decided to call it quits late last year.

Wilson, in a statement, has asked the media not to intrude on his privacy, saying that he needed time to heal in private.

"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," he said. (ANI)

why is someone so rich so messed up eh? Kate.....she is ok.....not as pretty or funny as Goldie was in her hayday, certainly not worth killing oneself over...

How to loose a guy in 10 days was funny.

Her rocker ex didn't spend much time at home.....gotta tell you something.....

And this methamphetamines and oxycotin or whatever......golden boy had some trailer trash drug tastes thats for sure.

You think they have it all but obviously not since a break up made him go over the edge......hell I think they only dated for a month or so. WTF? He has it all and to me, isn't even that talented or good looking really. What a waste of opportunity.

All the money in the world can't prevent the sort of mental illness/condition/whatever people who do these sorts of things suffer.

Though, it sure makes treatment more feasible. I can only imagine how much faster my own depression could have been properly diagnosed & treated if I could have afforded to see a psychiatrist or go into a treatment center.

There's probably a lot more to it than just mooning over a girl.

I'm not a huge fan of his. But from what I've read about him, he co-writes and produces a lot of the movies he's been in, including You, Me and Dupree, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, As Good as It Gets, and Bottle Rocket. He works with director Wes Anderson a lot (The Life Aquatic). From what I've read, he's actually very talented. I often do find him very funny, but I don't care for the more "wacky" comedies he's been in.

its sad when you let someone else affect you so intensely that when things hit the fan, you decide to attempt suicide.

Nobody is worth killin yerself over IMO.

Everyone is affected differently by things though.

I do recognize that.

One of my co-workers,

his gf left him recently,

and he was so emotionally distraught,

that he committed suicide by drinking himself to death.

Ugh. I hate speculative bullshit like this. As if it's ever that simple.

[jadnifer]

Things like that are NEVER simple.

Its VERY sad really
