Owen Wilson Makes First Public Appearance
Owen Wilson has returned to the public eye, making an appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, "The Darjeeling Limited."
Sporting a shaggy blond beard and wearing a dark jacket, Wilson was joined by cast mates Adrien Brody, Anjelica Huston, Jason Schwartzman and filmmaker Wes Anderson. It was among Wilson's first public appearances since an apparent suicide attempt in late August.
The premiere was held Thursday night at the headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. "The Darjeeling Limited," now in theaters, is the story of three brothers who journey by train through India.
Before the movie started, Anderson introduced Wilson, his longtime friend and collaborator, saying, "I've never made a movie without him and I hope I never have to."

Anderson and Wilson have worked together on several films, including "Bottle Rocket," "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums," for which they were nominated for a best screenplay Oscar.
Life hasn't been all laughs for Wilson the past couple of months.
On Aug. 26, the 38-year-old actor was taken by ambulance to a hospital on after police responded to a call about a suicide attempt at his Santa Monica home. The day after he was hospitalized, he issued a statement asking for privacy so he could "receive care and heal."
During the unfortunate incident, Wilson dropped out of the upcoming ensemble comedy "Tropic Thunder," a DreamWorks production.
The decision was characterized as a mutual agreement between director Ben Stiller and Wilson.
Wilson has also starred in "You, Me and Dupree," "Wedding Crashers" and "Starsky & Hutch."
