OWEN WILSON - WILSON SPOTTED BUYING BONG IN SMOKE SHOP

WILSON SPOTTED BUYING BONG IN SMOKE SHOP

Movie star OWEN WILSON stunned the owner of a smoke shop in Venice, California last week (17Jan08) when he allegedly walked in and purchased a huge bong and a 'monkey' pipe. The Wedding Crashers star's drug use was linked to his apparent suicide attempt last summer (Aug07) - and so his low-key shopping trip to the Green House Smoke Shop has startled many. U.S. magazine Life + Style reports Wilson was "friendly" but desperate not to be recognised as he spent $300 (GBP150) on "one of the biggest bongs". An insider tells the publication, "He was worried that someone might have seen him coming out. He hid behind a FedEx truck for 30 seconds before darting to his car."
