Wilson hospitalised

US ACTOR Owen Wilson was taken to hospital by paramedics, authorities in California confirmed yesterday.

It was not known why he was admitted, but a neighbour said a police car, fire truck and ambulance were outside the actor’s gated house in Santa Monica yesterday at about noon.

“These guys were kind of taking their time taking a stretcher out of the ambulance, then they went into the house,” said neighbour Geoffry White, 61, who lives directly across the street from the actor.
