More insight today on Owen Wilson’s failed attempt to shuffle off this mortal coil and give us pause — Us Weekly claims our little Butterscotch Stallion has a serious drug problem:

While the news [of his suicide attempt] stunned Owen’s fans, members of his and [ex-girlfrined Kate] Hudson’s inner circles were reportedly all too aware of his private struggles with depression and addiction to cocaine and heroin. According to sources close to the actor, his downward spiral only worsened after his June split from Hudson, 28.

Everybody knows nothing assuages lifelong issues with depression like a couple of years of alternating stimulants and opiates. In fact, the only thing better for chronic depression than heroin and cocaine is a drawer full of handguns and maybe a couple of plastic dry cleaning bags filled with naked pictures of your mother. If only someone had caught it a few days earlier! They could have given him a Judas Priest album and a crate of whiskey and some much-needed alone time. I guess that’s why they say hindsight is 20/20.
