Canadian actor/comedian Tom Green has filed for divorce from actress Drew Barrymore after less than a year of marriage.

"Drew is a wonderful woman," Green said in a statement. "I love her very much. I wish our marriage could have worked out. I wish her much happiness."

Court papers filed by Green in Los Angeles County Court cited irreconcilable differences.

The couple reportedly began dating in March 2001 and then eloped to the South Pacific. They remarried in July with family and friends in Malibu, California. It was Green's first marriage and Barrymore's second. Her first to bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994 ended after 19 days.

Barrymore, 26, became a child star in 1982 in Steven Spielberg's "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial." She made more headlines when it was revealed she had a drug and alcohol problems by the time she was nine years old.

She made a comeback in the 1990s, starring in a string of films including "Charlie's Angels," which she also produced, "Never Been Kissed," "The Wedding Singer" and Penny Marshall's recently released "Riding in Cars with Boys." She is slated to star opposite heartthrob George Clooney in the upcoming film "A Dangerous Mind."

Tom Green, 30, rose to fame first with a show on cable television in Ottawa, which then became The Tom Green show on MTV.
