CLIVE OWEN - OWEN PRAISES ANISTON'S COURAGE AS MARRIAGE FALTERED

British actor CLIVE OWEN was amazed at the courage of his latest co-star JENNIFER ANISTON, as she bravely carried on filming as her marriage to BRAD PITT collapsed.

The former FRIENDS actress spent several months making DERAILED in London at the end of last year (04), only weeks before the Hollywood golden couple announced their split on 7 January (05).

Owen says, "She's lovely, with a great sense of humour.

"Everyone on the crew knew that she'd gone through a hard time with her marriage and we were all sympathetic.

"But she showed no side effects. She socialised well and joined in the banter with the film crew. A British film set is a very different place from one in Los Angeles because of all the jokes and she could give as good as she got. She didn't take herself too seriously - until it came to working."
