Owen Wilson has reportedly refused to enter rehab following his stint in hospital after he attempted to commit suicide last month.

The You, Me and Dupree star was rushed into hospital after his brother found him at his Santa Monica home, having taken an overdose and with cut wrists.

Wilson spent a week in LA's Cedar-Sinai hospital and his friends have since been trying to get him to seek help, but a source told In Touch magazine that he "doesn't think he has a problem".

The actor has instead paid a sober friend £350 per day to accompany him at all times, while his family are stopping his ex-girlfriend, actress Kate Hudson, from contacting him.

However, she has reportedly been in touch with his younger brother Luke. A source told Us magazine: "The family doesn't want Owen to talk to Kate, because her friends are talking smack about him.

"It's not about Kate - it's about Owen getting better."
