The New York Post is also saying today that Owen Wilson was hooked on heroin and cocaine and struggling with depression, and they blame it on British actor Steve Coogan. A-HA! I Knew It! Wait, what…
Wilson's drug use was so frequent, it was even the cause of his Memorial Day breakup with Kate Hudson.And his friends are placing the blame squarely on Wilson's newfound best buddy, British actor Steve Coogan, with whom he starred in several films."I went through it with Steve," Coogan's former girlfriend, rocker Courtney Love, told US."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."Another cause of his depression was his very public split with Hudson it all became too much for the actress when Wilson's struggles came to light.She even banned Coogan from Wilson's house while they were dating. "She knew he was bad," said a source.
No screwin around this time – when Courtney Love calls you a bad influence, you need to look at yourself in the mirror. And I don't think you're gonna like what you see. It's like when I tried out for the NFL, and I got cut and my roster spot was taken by a donkey that kicks field goals. And they took my helmet and cut little holes in it for the donkeys ears. That was a real wake up call, bro.
