Jennifer Aniston attends Marley & Me premiere

Hollywood actors Jennifer Aniston (left) and Owen Wilson (right) braved plunging temperatures in London to attend the British premiere of their new film, Marley & Me, on Monday night. The movie, an adaptation of journalist John Grogan’s US bestseller about a couple - played by Aniston and Wilson - learning valuable life lessons from their boisterous puppy, Marley, did not attract the usual A-List crowd.

Among those tripping down the red carpet were the former page three girl Linda Lusardi, the former Miss GB and WAG Danielle Lloyd and lad-mag favourite Gemma Atkinson - not the sort of crowd the actors are used to, one suspects.

But while some might consider the movie a shade beneath the former Friends actress and, indeed, Wilson, it has proved a hit at the box office. Since it was released on Christmas Day, it has grossed dollars $106.7 million in the US, making it the third-highest grossing dog movie on record. ·
