Jennifer Aniston has praised Owen Wilson for his bravery in returning to work so soon after his suspected suicide attempt.

The actress, who stars with Wilson in the upcoming comedy Marley & Me, told the Los Angeles Times: "I feel like, how brave of him, to walk through the year that he walked through."

Aniston added that Wilson's performance in the movie, about a couple's relationship with their pet Labrador, was "divine".

"I've never seen him play a part like this," she enthused. "He was a man, he was a husband, he was a father. He has no temper, no ego, he's collaborative and funny and sweet."
