Olivia Wilde: 'Jennifer Aniston gave me advice on fame'

Actress Olivia Wilde reached out to pal Jennifer Aniston for advice on how to handle the media after a joke about her sex life with fiance Jason Sudeikis turned her into a tabloid target.

The TRON: Legacy beauty hit the headlines last year (12) after quipping that she and her boyfriend were like Kenyan marathon runners in the bedroom.

The intense media scrutiny prompted Wilde to turn to her close friend - Sudeikis' We're The Millers co-star - for help, because Aniston had "been through the wringer" following her high-profile romances with Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.

Wilde felt sure Aniston would be able to offer her the best advice on fame management and tells Allure magazine, "I explained the situation, and I said I needed advice on how to deal with these things.

"She wrote me one of the most gracious, wise emails describing her journey and really wonderful words of advice about how to deal with it. And, in the end, I think I would do it all again exactly the same way."
