LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Hollywood actor Owen Wilson has given the first interview since his reported suicide attempt to his longtime pal, director Wes Anderson, People.com said.

The interview will be posted online Friday at midnight, as part of the MySpace Artist on Artist series, but it is unclear whether Wilson will address his recent troubles.

Although his latest collaboration with Anderson, "The Darjeeling Limited," recently opened in theaters, Wilson has been keeping a low profile and avoiding the press. His co-stars and friends have likewise said little about his hospitalization in August.

At the Venice Film Festival last month, Anderson said Wilson was "doing well" and added: "When he's ready he's going to speak for himself much better than anyone else could. He has a very good way with words."

Wilson and Anderson previously worked together on "Bottle Rocket," "Rushmore," "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou."
