Although it pales in comparison to the relief we felt upon learning that Owen Wilson's recent suicide attempt wasn't successful, we were still saddened to hear that the troubled actor has dropped out of the upcoming Ben Stiller movie Tropic Thunder, as reported by People. Still, it's a relief to see that he's approaching the recovery process seriously - after all, you know Owen wouldn't leave his friend Ben hanging if he could help out!
(Unfortunately, this means we won't get the chance to see Owen goin' toe-to-comedic-toe with Alan Partridge himself - the actor's Tropic Thunder co-star was slated to be British comic star Steve Coogan himself. Of course, if there's any truth to Courtney Love's recent allegations (as reported by the Daily Mail) that Coogan's friendship "fueled Wilson's drug use - reportedly heroin and cocaine", perhaps there's a silver lining to this cloud!)
Get better soon, Owen - we miss your movies already!
