In a recent interview with Esquire, Owen Wilson was open and honest about his life, his two sons, his death, and, for the first time, how he was dealing with the fallout from his 2007 suicide attempt.

Although the actor has previously been reluctant to talk about the incident, he did say that his older brother Andrew’s support helped him get through that challenging time in his life. “At moments, it seemed as though Gene Hackman was portraying life in the movie Hoosiers. Fair yet firm,” Wilson said. He will have high expectations, but everything will work out if everyone works together and does their jobs. That makes me feel good. Things make sense,” he continued, “but sometimes life feels like Tom Hardy in The Revenant, attempting to murder you even if you win the battle. At the conclusion, he will still be there, crooning, “This ain’t going to bring your boy back,” “This ain’t going to bring your dad back,” or “Any wonderful times from your past back.” also, whatever. And when that guy is playing with your life, all you can do is hold on and wait for it to end.

The French Dispatch star gave homage to his brother when asked how one starts to deal with those moments when it seems like Hardy is trying to ruin your life. Wilson had long struggled with depression and admitted that the idea of death “landed with me when I was about eleven. I don’t remember ever talking with my parents about it.” Wilson told the author that Andrew “stayed in his house with him” after the attempt, “rising with him each morning and writing up little schedules for each day so that life seemed at first manageable and then, at some point, a long time later, actually good.” However, I do recall remarking to my father once—and I can still picture exactly where in the house—”I worry about dying,” and watching him turn aside and catch himself. And I was taken aback by that response. Who knows, perhaps that was a factor in my statement.

However, the actor claims he is currently in a fortunate position where he feels grateful for everything. Although I know that everything is somewhat up and down, you must ride each wave for as long as possible when you are on it. Yes, I just felt it. I was feeling appreciative. Gratitude is one of those words that is frequently utilized. Appreciative. Of stuff, I guess. Visit Newswatchlist.com for the most recent information and further connected news.
