Luke Wilson has opened up to a US magazine over his older brother’s suicide attempt at the weekend.
In an interview with magazine OK!, Wilson broke down when quizzed about his brother's future.
When asked if Owen was going to be alright after his latest public ordeal, Luke replied in tears, ''I just don’t know''.

According to reports, it was Luke who found Owen bloodied and dazed in his Santa Monica home and made the 911 call.
Wilson was rushed to St John’s Hospital in Santa Monica before being transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, where he is listed as stable.
Media speculation on the cause of the suicide attempt immediately centred on reports of a heated argument with an unknown close friend.
Other reports have spoken of Wilson’s depression and drug battle after the breakdown of his relationship with ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson.
In early June Wilson broke up with Hudson, whom he’d met last year on the set of the movie You, Me and Dupree.

Since then Hudson has been seen out and about with Punk'd actor Dax Shepard, the two catching the lens of the paparazzi with an impromptu makeout session in a local supermarket the day before Wilson was admitted to hospital.

Hudson, who is currently filming a movie in Boston, had to be taken away from set after she was told about Wilson's suicide attempt, according to UK reports.

''She looked upset,'' a witness told UK newspaper London Lite.
''She was on the phone, pacing back and forth, then her handlers came out and she was ushered into a white SUV.''

Quote:

Luke Wilson joins friends and family to be at older brother Owen’s side at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood on Monday. Also pictured visiting the hospital: actor pal Woody Harrelson.

It was recently confirmed that Owen did, in fact, attempt suicide and he has been depressed for the last few months. But it’s not over a broken relationship, reports state.

Extra reports, “The Calls For Service report from the Santa Monica Police Department, which lists the reason for the 911 call from Owen Wilson’s house as an “attempted suicide.” The call was received on Sunday, August 26 at 12:08:16pm. The incident was ‘cleared’ almost five hours later at 5:07:16pm.”

Owen recently released this statement via his rep:”I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”

I really feel for them. I hope things will be ok. Such sadness for such great comics. It just sucks.

I feel for his family. Having just been through this I understand how helpless and lost they feel.

Lily · August 29th, 2007, 08:26 AM

How incredinly sad. Poor Luke.

I hate that the paps are outside the hospital taking pictures. Luke Wilson looks distraught and should be able to be upset in private.

Lily · August 29th, 2007, 11:31 AM

^I agree. I want the paps to leave them alone.

i felt embarrassed and dirty for even looking at that pic of luke wilson. it's just creepy that his grief is out there for the public, the press should just leave them alone. this is so sad.

I know, I feel the same way when they take pictures at funerals. There are some things that are still sacred. Seeing people grieving does not for me, nor should it.

DeChayz · August 29th, 2007, 03:24 PM

The look on Luke's face there is just heartbreaking. I feel worse for him than I do his brother

PrettyGirl · August 29th, 2007, 03:26 PM

Well, it's his brother, what can you say. Blood is blood. No matter what, the guy loves his brother. Sad how it's always the family who has to suffer when someone has issues like drugs/depression.
