Ben Stiller was on the Ellen Degenres show where he talked to Ellen about his friend and co-star (of many movies) Owen Wilson.

In case you aren’t up to date, Owen Wilson was recently admitted to a hospital in an attempt to commit suicide. Owen has been battled a drug problem along with depression for many years.

Ben told Ellen,

“He’s doing really well,” Stiller, 41, tells Ellen DeGeneres on her show Friday.

“I sort of like to protect his privacy, ’cause I feel like it’s his own thing,” says Stiller. “But he’s a really good friend of mine. He’s an incredible guy and I wish him as everybody does, all the best.”

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have co-starred in many movies such as Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch, and others. Ben Stiller’s father, Jerry Stiller, said he was surprised to her about Owen’s suicide and attempt but also said he was sure that he would pull through.

Wilson, who was set to film Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller, had to pull out at the last minute because he was hospitalized. Stiller is still involved in that project. I think its good Ben didn’t say much–he’s a real friend.
