Actor Owen Wilson has returned home nearly a week after trying to take his own life.
US magazine People reported on its website that Wilson returned home on Saturday and though he is in bad mental shape, is thankful to be alive.
He is doing well as he recovers from an apparent suicide attempt, and is even making colleagues laugh, the director of his latest film said Monday.
''Obviously he has been through a lot this week,'' said Wes Anderson, who directed Wilson in ''The Darjeeling Limited,'' one of the films in competition for the Venice Film Festival's top award.
''I can tell you he has been doing very well, he has been making us laugh,'' Anderson told a news conference to promote the film.
''When he is ready he's going to speak for himself much better than any of us could,'' the director said, asking that the actor's privacy be respected.
They say he is being watched around the clock.
