Pulp Fiction star Samuel L Jackson has visited Owen Wilson in hospital.

The actor spent time with his friend – who reportedly tried to commit suicide on Sunday - at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

He refused to talk to the waiting press, telling them: "I came to visit Owen Wilson, get the f**k away from me. Why are you guys here?"

Wilson, 38, was rushed to hospital after being found by his brother Andrew at his home in Santa Monica, California. He is believed to have slashed his wrists and taken an overdose of pills.

The Me, You and Dupree star – who is said to be in "good condition" – earlier begged the media to respect his privacy so he can take time to "care and heal".
