Owen was doing drugs

August 29, 2007

The stereotypical Hollywood actor doing drugs and spiraling out of control seems to be the “in” thing as of lately. Now sources are saying that Owen Wilson was hooked on heroine and cocaine which caused his break-up with Kate Hudson. And after they split he started using more often.

Some guy named Steve Coogan is supposedly partially to blame for Wilson’s drug use, as told by New York Post.
“I went through it with Steve,” Coogan’s former girlfriend, rocker Courtney Love.
“I was just out of rehab, and he was right there with the drugs. I tried to warn Owen. I tried to warn his friends. I hope from the bottom of my heart that Owen stays the hell away from that guy.”

Wilson’s addiction was so severe, his pal Woody Harrelson tried to stage an intervention at his home in Maui.

“Owen went to Maui, Hawaii, to kick his habit,” a longtime Wilson pal told the mag. “He was like a baby on that couch.”

The friend said that heroin was the first thing that came to mind when Wilson and Hudson split and he suddenly “disappeared off the face of the earth.”

“I thought, briefly, he might be back on heroin, but we all really felt he’d kicked that ages ago,” his friend said.
