Owen Wilson Drops out of Tropic Thunder, Starring Ben Stiller, After Suicide Attempt

After his suicide attempt, Owen Wilson has dropped out of the film Tropic Thunder, starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey, Jr., in which he was to have a cameo appearance. The film is already six weeks into production in Hawaii.

Wilson’s most recent film, The Darjeeling Limited, in which he actually plays a character thought to have attempted suicide, will hit theaters on September 29 as planned.

“Following a discussion between the cast and filmmakers, all have agreed `The Darjeeling Limited’ will open as planned on September 29,” Fox Searchlight said in a statement Wednesday.

We haven’t heard any comment from Camp Owen since Monday’s brief statement: “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”
