Between The Laughter

Here's a weird headline: "Owen Wilson's Film Future Is Likely Fine." Odder, it appears to present itself as a news story.

I have nothing against Owen Wilson. I wish him well. But he's an A-lister who usually works in comedy. Now that it's known he's attempted suicide, it might be harder to laugh at him. Instead of enjoying his character, you may be thinking about the actor playing the role, and what his real life is like.

Hollywood may still love him, and the audience may be sympathetic, but movies cost a lot, and if something gets in the way of the laughter, would you hire him?
