Hollywood hunk Owen Wilson shocked an Australian swimming club on Monday when he took part in an impromptu race.

The actor, who is promoting his latest film Wedding Crashers, visited Sydney's famous Bondi Icebergs swimming club - which overlooks the city's famous Bondi beach - and was thrilled to help the Icebergs compete against the Woolongong surf club.

A spectator says: "Owen was the third leg in the relay. He hardly drew a breath and held on to a slim lead, resulting in a generous round of applause from the locals."
