Owen Wilson hospitalized for reported suicide

Owen Wilson was hospitalized in 2010 following a reported suicide attempt.

An attorney reports the actor slit his wrists, and that he had been taking anti-depressants. Wilson has reportedly also had drug abuse problems in the past.

He is far from alone.
