Owen Wilson’s family are reportedly urging the actor to enter a medical facility or get one-to-one counselling after his recent suicide attempt.

Owen spent a week at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after taking the overdose at the end of last month and returned to his Santa Monica home at the weekend.

A source told Us Weekly that the family - his brothers Andrew and Luke Wilson, as well as parents Bob and Laura - are watching him around the clock but they realise that’s not a long term solution.

The source revealed: “They’re looking into getting Owen help, either a treatment facility or someone one-on-one.”

“No one close to him knew how anxious and overwhelmed he was feeling. Now he doesn’t have to hide behind the comedian mask anymore.”

“It’s been particularly hard on [brother] Luke, but he’s taking a strong role in the recovery.”
