Owen Wilson is putting his health first as he recovers from a reported suicide attempt.
The 38-year-old actor has left the movie Tropic of Thunder, reports Variety. Wilson's pal Ben Stiller is directing the Dreamworks comedy, which is set to start shooting in September.
Wilson is still recuperating in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after being rushed there Sunday. "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time," Wilson said in a statement following his hospitalization.
The entertainment news show Extra reported Wilson attempted suicide and was found by his brother Luke, who called 911. Extra also posted the Santa Monica Police 911 log, citing the phone call.
