Owen Wilson’s suicide attempt last month was reportedly the third time the actor had tried to take his life.

Owen is said to be under constant supervision after returning home after a week-long stay at Cedars-Sinai hospital following the overdose at his Santa Monica home on 26th August.

A source claiming to be close to the family has now told the National Enquirer: “A good portion of his [Owen’s] life has been dedicated to fighting depression and addiction… This is the third time he’s tried killing himself.”

The source added that it was professional rather than personal pressures that tricked the event this time around - he was upset after failing to develop material for a friend’s film project: “Owen felt demoralized after letting down his pal.”
