After months of media silence Owen Wilson has given his first interview since his suicide bid in August 2007.

Avoiding the topic of his personal life, the 38-year-old actor – who was interviewed by pal and longtime collaborator Wes Anderson for the MySpace Artist On Artist series (to watch the video, click here) - slammed his The Darjeeling Limited monkey co-stars.

He told Anderson: "At first you think. gosh, monkeys, that's so kind of incredible... But they didn't have your best interests at heart. They weren't these adorable little creatures. They want to replace you."

And Wilson also revealed that his experiences on the film has made it his favourite work to date - as he holds the films themes and subject matter close to his heart.

He explains, "I would say it's [The Darjeeling Limited] maybe, maybe my favourite. My character says, 'I want us to become brothers again like we used to be.' I really like that line and it means a lot to me."

Wilson and Anderson have worked together on multiple projects, including Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaums, which they co-wrote, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
