Owen Wilson has dropped out of a comedy he was filming with friend Ben Stiller so he can recover from his suicide attempt.
Wilson’s role in Tropic Thunder, was set to film in a couple of weeks. The actual filming of the movie started six weeks ago in Hawaii.
Ben Stiller is not only the producer and the director, he is also and starring in the film.
Stiller and Wilson came to the agreement that Wilson not take part in the movie. No word on if his part was written out or if he will be replaced by another actor Other actors who are in the film are Jack Black, Robert Downey, Jr. and Nick Nolte.
It’s understandable why Wilson dropped out but it’s sad..what’s a Ben Stiller film without Wilson? The two have been in eight movies together and have an amazing charisma between them.
