Owen Flying Solo In The Most Romantic City in the World

While things seem to be heating up between his ex Kate Hudson and her new beau Lance Armstrong, our French correspondent caught Owen Wilson out on a solo stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries in rainy Paris.

Although I guess Owen wasn't completely alone -- he had his umbrella to help keep him warm (or at least dry!)



Breakups are always hard, but it's even got to be tougher watching your ex fall in love with one of the sporting world's most famous men!

HE LOOKS SO LONELY AND SAD.....POOR OWEN.

P.S. FFFFIIIIRRRRSSSSSSSTTTTTT

It's funny to see Owen in a white suit--I wonder if he borrowed it from Wes, who lives in Paris and always wears a signature white suit. X-17 may not know this, but Owen's mom was Richard Avedon's assistant, so that's why Owen was most likely there at the Avedon exhibit. His mother would be proud that he dressed up for it!

Leave him alone X17!! It is not nice to do that to him. He wanted some quiet moment and he was being chased all over the place like that.
Kate Hudson is doing it with Lance to save her face because Owen broke it up with her.
Owen has always been a good actor.

You guys are just creepy, stalkers, in a word. He couldn't go anywhere. Following him up the stairs like that, it was like watching a scene from Jaws. Only thing missing was the music. I bet your miserable photogs followed him onto the metro also. Sick and wrong.



Posted by: anonymous

Some of the commenters act like Owen Wilson is a baby or a little child. Celebrities are followed all the time and they don't all act like Owen Wilson does. All he needed to do was smile, say hi, pose for a picture, then tell the photog to scram. Instead, he gets all cagey and wierd. He is definitely an actor who doesn't handle his celebrity well. If he doesn't like it, he should say good-bye to the biz and the millions of dollars the fans pay him. To sum it up, he's got a really sucky attitude.



Posted by: Sugar

If he is alone in the city of love its his own fault. He really screwed over kate hudson,not once, but twice. Also he did the same thing with Sheryl crow. He's a cheater with low morals imho.



Posted by: anone

The who took the video is the most annoying ever!!! The guy was on his private time and why did you have to stalked him. Give him a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Idiot X17 paparrazo!!!!!!!!!!!!

You stalk people like John Mayer its ok because they like being stalked but not people like Owen Wilson.

Anon, 12:03
You have a point. No, I don't think Owen is a child, and I thought he should have posed and said hello or something, too. I agree, they would have laid off if he had done that. I still think it's really weird, though, to just keep following him down the blocks, up and down stairwells, onto the subway, over the river and through the woods, ya know? Just a wee bit much. Not saying Owen shouldn't have played up a little, but really should he have to just because he is a star. He shouldn't have to be "on" all the time.



Posted by: The Booze Brothers

Yeah, I agree with 12:03. He draws more attention to himself by acting like that - "cagey and weird" is a good way to describe it. I seriously think that this guy has more than a few screws loose and really needs to get out of the business for a while, for his own health.



Posted by: anonymous

annie
Yes, I see your point too. I just think Owen W needs to learn how to play the game and things would be much easier for him. He wouldn't be followed through the woods to grandmother's house if he would just pose and answer a question - with the agreement that if he does so the photog will leave him alone. That's what other stars do and it usually works and is quite simple. To be 100% honest, when I see OW acting this way, I get the feeling that he's a bit "off," or a jerk, or at least very immature. Deal with the hand that you've been dealt, O!

He is my favorite.He is busy with his online dating thing, His profile was seen at millionaire&celeb dating site
"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m" yesterday.
A rumor goes that he is dating a young single woman on that site



Posted by: Anonymous Too

Owen looked like he was considering giving the photog a shot when he entered the tunnel but then reconsidered it. He seems so changed since his suicide attempt - wandering around rainy Paris alone, lost in his melancholy. It's just sad. He needs to quit acting and go back to writing.



Posted by: The Truth About Owen

Oh, please - Give me a break with that "melancholy" bullshit! He doesn't look sad - he looks too thin (again) and strung out. He lives in fear of the paps because of all of his unanswered issues (especially the drug question). Owen wants it both ways with the public - "go see my movies but deep down I hate you." He's a real jerk who doesn't give a shit about his fans. And by "suicide attempt", 12:51, I'm sure that you MEANT to type "accidental drug overdose."



Posted by: emma

hey that is so NOT cool to follow him around when he just want to be left alone. Leave him alone to enjoy his visit in paris.



Posted by: fuck Owen Wilson

STEVE-O HAS MORE CLASS THAN THIS GUY. That's right, STEVE-O from JACKASS - who is open about his drug problems and is taking steps to solve them. Mr. Oscar-nominated, head-in-the-sand Wilson should just keep shooting that smack and hiding from the paps - and stop making bad movies!



Posted by: heather

you people who keep saying that if he just stopped and answered one question then he would be left alone are completely ignorant. like the paps would honor any "agreement" to leave him alone...no matter what he did for them. their job is to harass and annoy until they get the celebrity to say or do something that the "writers" can manipulate to make the celebrity look like a complete idiot on the website. the ONLY option is to keep your mouth shut and calmly walk away. ANYTHING ELSE will be used against the celeb. even if they're nice. why? cause paps are the scum of he earth. it's amazing that you people are to stupid to realize this.



Posted by: annie

Thanks, anon 12:40.
But I think you are more right now. I don't have sound on my computer but I watched it again, and his eyes are darting back and forth. He is walking one direction then sees the camera, and walks back again where he was coming from? It doesn't really make sense. It almost seems now that he is prolonging the whole process. And in retrospect, I can't remember the last time Owen just smiled and laughed with the people, fans or photographers alike. Perhaps he does need further counseling or something.



Posted by: anonymous

annie
Agreed! He needs to stop taking himself so seriously. I notice Luke does the same stuff--he can't just smile and joke. Makes you definitely wonder about the Wilson gene pool. I read an interview where Owen said his dad was very up and down as well.

1:31
You are wrong. I just saw a video of Jason Bateman out walking around with his family. His wife made an agreement with the paps for a shot, and when the paps got it they left them alone. Some paps are jerks, but most know what the boundaries are. If certain paps cross the line, the other paps will try to reign in the offender. This Owen pap clearly just wanted Owen to say something.



Posted by: Anonymous

Yes he should have said hi or something but imagine you get this every time, at one point you just get annoyed. LEAVE HIM ALONE for god's sake, poor Owen. Your paparazzi is an irrespectuous person, i leave in Paris and I've seen him a few times, always swearing and insulting people so tey get out of his way..so sick, so gross. I won't come back to this site cause i don't want to support people like this. good bye



Posted by: No! F**** off!!!!!

poooooor Owen!, harrased by a pap, if i were Owen id Kicked that paps brain in, i wud, i feel ferocious!!!!! LEAVE



Posted by: anonymous

Anonymous 2:35
You are missing the point. He *never* says hi, which is a very easy thing to do. He may be annoyed, but he makes $10 million a movie and he needs to come to grips with the reality of celebrity. Take a lesson from other celebs who know how to deal with it. Poor Owen my ass!



Posted by: no

u guys are SOOO wrong, u have such a restrict look on human dignity, LOL. hey 3:13 there are no such thing as come to grips with the reality of celebrity, like you say, and 12:03: NO, he DONT have to smile OR say hi OR pose for a picture. YES he gets all "cagey and wierd" cus he dont LIKE the sitution. ANY actor can handle HIS celebretie how he WANTS to. Some just want to get into a caracter role, i mean do their movie, and then go home, and NOTHING more. Just like ANY work. And we got to RESPECT that, so the rules u guys lay out on here are FAKE, there ARE NO RULES. I think he just do it RIGHT, if thats how HE wants it, and that is NO sucky attitude. So 12:40 there ARE NO how to learn how to play the games. 1:07, your young at heart. 1:21, yeah, but Wilson arent Steve O and contrary. I hope u will understand this someday.



Posted by: HUH?!?

4:58 - Owen, is that you? Put down the strap and maybe your post would make a little bit more sense! LOL!!



Posted by: Alexia

He's better off without Kate. Don't fool yourselves, she is every bit the cheater he is.



Posted by: Chasing the Butterscotch Dragon ...

I seriously think Owen was high. When he was in the tunnel, he peeked his head out as if he expected the pap who was there ONE SECOND AGO to have suddenly disappeared then he walked REALLY slowly (seriously - it looked like slow-mo!) up the stairs. Then, in the subway, he wanted to get on the train and the door was open RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Instead he went to the second car (the doors had closed by this time) and leaned his hand against it dramatically. He could have disappeared into the crowd at that point, been ON the Metro and well on his way. Owen seemed disoriented and I DON'T think it was because of the pap attention - he must be used to that by now. There is a REASON why this guy tries to avoid the paps that much - drugs, drugs, drugs.

Those are all really good points.
It reminds me a lot of the other video X17 has of him on the beach where he goes up the hill then down the hill then you see Garcia but you never see Owen come back. I think there was a lot of editing on that video so it's really confusing, but still--Owen was acting straaaange...Yes, there's a strong possi bility that he is high in both those videos, but it could also be a mental problem as well. I'm thinking anxiety to an extreme, possibly combined with weed. Not a good combo, if true! And, why is he wearing Wes' suit? Good lord, not his style AT ALL! LOL!



Posted by: Sugar

7:31
Way to go. Prop up the cheating male and blame the female despite all evidence to the contrary. Isn't that just so progressive of you.



Posted by: Chasing the Butterscotch Dragon ...

8:05 - I remember that video! He hid in the hills until a convoy of cars drove onto the beach to come and get him! That was in February and he doesn't seem any better in dealing with the paps. It could be that he gets anxiety attacks ... Whatever the reason, it's kind of sad. Owen was a potentially brilliant writer; now turned into a tabloid target and a parody of himself ... Screw the Hollywood "lifestyle" and screw heroin!



Posted by: Anonymous

I don't know - I kinda feel sorry for this guy. I loved Bottle Rocket and just wish he could find his roots again. He needs a good holistic doc that will help him get well. It can happen..



Posted by: Anonymous

I wonder if he feels like dying sometimes still..
I know I do.



Posted by: Anonymous


walk in the rain
alone and dead feeling
only friend is the black cloud that looms over



Posted by: Anonymous

he walks round and round only because he doesn't know how to hide to ... paps, when they aren't around he doesn't look high, besides they build the story of cheating to save that b...h of kate hudson

11:55 - Really? O - kay ...
9:51 - I like your poem! That about sums it up ...

Where is our humanity? I don't know which I find more disturbing, the repugnant behavior of the papparazo or the gang mentality of subsequent posters. One's personal income/celebrity and their right to privacy are not inverse operations. Everyone deserves peace. God bless you Owen.



Posted by: Oh, Do Shut Up

7:27 - Is it lonely up there on your pedestal? Go cry for the poor and disenfranchised - not for a spoiled, immature movie star wandering around Paris. NEWS FLASH - You give up your anonymity when you pursue and accept the Hollywood lifestyle. If you don't understand that, then you're naive. Take your superior attitude and stay off the gossip sites!



Posted by: Anonymous

To the guy with the camera: Why don't you leave him alone?!!!!

Go get a life!
