Lazy movie star OWEN WILSON infuriated director LUIS LLOSA (corr) on the set of snake hunting thriller ANACONDA by refusing to read the script or tone up for his role as a hunk in the film.

The STARSKY + HUTCH star recalls the Brazilian movie maker "freaking out" when he realised Wilson had not prepared for a death scene in the film - because he had no idea his character, GARY DIXON, was dying.

And Llosa was even less impressed when it came to his attention that Wilson had only attended four of 50 work-outs he had been assigned in a bid to get into shape for the JENNIFER LOPEZ movie, a surprise hit.

Wilson recalls, "I had 50 work-outs scheduled and missed 46 of them. When I got down there they decided I would keep my shirt on when I was swimming. That was a little insulting - I was going to be one of those guys who swim with their shirt on.

"My character was supposed to be a hunk. But whatever I did with him, he wasn't the classic hunk."
