Owen Wilson has revealed that he "felt pressure" to get on with Jennifer Aniston, his co-star in upcoming film Marley And Me.

Wilson admitted to USA Today that he felt nervous before meeting the actress.

"I felt extra pressure that we got along," he said. "I had so many friends that had worked with Jen and everybody has said the same thing - how much they loved working with her. I didn't want to be the one guy she hates!"

Aniston, who worked with Wilson's friend Ben Stiller in 2005's Along Came Polly, said that she and Wilson became close during filming.

She told the newspaper: "It was an instant ease when me met and started rehearsing, and I think it's rare.

"Sometimes you actually really like the person you are having good chemistry with."
