He lived a much quieter life before getting together with Jennifer Aniston in 2011, but Justin Theroux says he doesn’t mind the media attention that’s come with his relationship.
“It doesn’t feel like a hardship, it doesn’t feel difficult,” the actor told Details. “It can be an annoyance, but it’s not the end of the world. You have to center on what its core thing is, which is that you met someone you fell in love with. It’s hard to explain. I just find myself wondering…what’s the big f—ing deal?”
The engaged couple met via their mutual friend Robert Downey Jr., who had nothing but great things to say about the relationship. “He and Jen fell in a real, legit fashion,” the Iron Man star said of his friend, “and he was willing from the jump to make sacrifices.”
So how does Justin put up with the endless rumors and hounding from the media? “You just kind of ignore it, but then you also become reluctant to say anything about the relationship,” he admitted. “I could say everything’s good, but then it’s reflected back as, ‘Justin Theroux: Everything’s Good?’ That just creates this echo chamber and as it ricochets around the Internet, it just gets wacky.”
