Recovering star Owen Wilson is ‘doing very well’, his close friend director Wes Anderson has revealed.
Wilson returned to his home in Santa Monica, California on Sunday, six days after he was hospitalised following a reported suicide attempt.
The actor was due at the Venice Film Festival to publicise his and Anderson’s new movie The Darjeeling Limited.
Speaking from the event, Anderson says: “We all miss having him here very much right now.
“Obviously he’s been through quite a lot this week, but I can tell you that’s he doing very well and making us laugh, and when he’s ready he’s going to speak for himself much better than any of us could. He’s got a very good way with words.”
Wilson and Anderson were Oscar nominated in 2002 for their screenplay for The Royal Tenenbaums.

The actor Owen Wilson, who was admitted to hospital on Sunday after taking an overdose and slashing his wrists following a split from his girlfriend Kate Hudson, is doing well and making colleagues laugh, the director of his latest film said yesterday.
“Obviously he has been through a lot this week,” said Wes Anderson, who directed Wilson in The Darjeeling Limited in which he plays a character implied to be suicidal.
“When he’s ready he’s going to speak for himself much better than any of us could. He’s got a very good way with words.”
The 38-year-old actor and writer, nominated for an Oscar along with Anderson for the screenplay of The Royal Tenenbaums, was released from a clinic over the weekend and is now recuperating at his home in Santa Monica, California.
His 2005 hit, Wedding Crashers, made more than £100 million at the US box office.
