OWEN WILSON AND INTERVIEWS

I originally wasn't going to comment on this, but I think the level of curiosity regarding the lack of interviews from Owen has gotten to the point that some context is needed.

Owen used to do all kinds of interviews and press tours up until 2007. In 2007, Owen attempted suicide by slitting his wrist and taking a lot of pills. Luckily, his younger brother, Luke, found him. He made it.

Since then, Owen has declined interviews because the press was all over him with deeply invasive questions. His suicide attempt was publicized everywhere, and despite multiple requests, the press wouldn't grant him privacy. Only recently, in 2021, 14 years later, has Owen talked about the incident and how his older brother, Andrew, helped him post-rehab. I don't doubt that he's continuing to avoid interviews to decline follow-up questions.

It is often the funniest, most positive people who suffer intense depression. We are extraordinarily lucky Owen is still with us, gifting us with his wit and making us laugh. We should honor his desire for privacy.
