Justin Theroux just realized his ‘Girl on a Train’ promo will be a nightmare

157565PCN_Aniston001

I’m sorry, but I’m still laughing at Justin Theroux’s expression in these photos. This should be a “caption” contest. What is Justin Theroux’s thought bubble in these photos? These are pics of Justin and Jennifer Aniston out in New York on Saturday night, having some kind of date night after months spent apart. According to Us Weekly, Jennifer was in LA when the Brangelina-Split news broke, and her Bel Air home was being swarmed with paparazzi and press. She flew to New York late last week ahead of schedule – she was always going to fly to NYC, apparently, but she sped up her plans because she was being “hounded.”

Justin, on the other hand, has just arrived back in America after spending months and months in Australia, filming the final season of The Leftovers. He returned to NYC, his home, and the next week will probably see Justin all over the place as he starts promoting The Girl on the Train. The NYC premiere for TGOTT is this week, I believe, and if you remember, I actually think this is a great role for Justin. It’s potentially a career-changing role if the film is well-done and has any kind of box office success. Unfortunately, Justin’s promotion this week is probably going to be awkward as hell, I would imagine.

This was also awkward – as soon as Justin arrived at his apartment, he was swarmed by paparazzi asking stupid questions.

    That picture! Hahahahahahaha!

  2. susanne says:

    He’s bugging out because he couldn’t take his gallon jug of bronzer on the plane.

    • Justjj says:

      I’m surprised more famous people don’t make this face. That looks awful. How are they not all insane? But serious question: do you think they tan in a tanning booth? They seem like they might. This practice grosses me out.

  3. lucy2 says:

    Hopefully if anyone asks a question about it, he shuts it down. That would suck, to be hounded and asked about something you have nothing to do with. That photo is clearly an “oh sh!t” moment though!
    Looking forward to the movie!

  4. Betti says:

    I can’t wait to see Girl on a Train – its looks like it could do a lot for the careers of several of its cast. I would love to see Emily Blunt getting some recognition for her work – love her.

    • Tate says:

      The book took over my life for a day! Sooooo good!

      • cdubois says:

        I am shocked people liked it. I felt the characters were a little too far removed from reality. Especially the wife character – To go from being paralyzed with fear and frustration from merely SEEING your husbands ex wife to what she did at the end of the book are completely disconnected. I felt she was two completely different people in like two pages….

    • Bonzo says:

      I’m looking forward to seeing it too… the book was intense.

    • naomipaige says:

      I agree. The promo looks really good.

  5. LannisterForever says:

    I actually feel sorry for him. Neither him or Jen has anything to do with the split and he has never been an actor desperate to be famous. That said, from a journalistic standpoint I can understand the craving for getting a comment from him.

    • ariadne says:

      I know what you mean; isn’t he mainly a screenwriter who does a bit of acting as well? I actually think he’s quite talented.

      I feel a bit sorry for Jen with all this TBH, it’s the media who couldn’t let the love triangle thing go; she doesn’t really seem like someone who’s spent the last decade being bitter; she’s spent most of the time talking about her hair and workouts, taking vacations and getting overpaid for commercials which I suspect is what she enjoys in life.

    • pretty says:

      my only exposure to him had been through reading gossips about him being jen’s bf. but i watched the show The Leftovers and he is really really good.

      • Betti says:

        He is a talented actor, sadly his own talent and career have been overshadowed by her but he doesn’t seem to let it bother him and goes on doing what he does. I hope this is the movie that pushes him forward, he’s a good character actor.

      • Kitten says:

        He’s EXCELLENT on The Leftovers. I also always remember him as the premature ejaculator on SATC.

        Very talented guy who needs to lay off the bronzer.

  6. HeyThere! says:

    How annoying for them! That sucks. I would be pissed.

  7. Lenn says:

    I am just amazed how Jennifer and Justin are being dragged into this. It’s been more than 10 years! She’s re-married! I find it so disrespectful.

    • Louise177 says:

      Why? Tabloids were still doing that Brad and Jennifer were leaving their spouses for each other just a month ago. Feel bad for Justin because he really has nothing to do with this. I’m sure he’ll comment but something like “it’s sad but nothing to do with me”. Jennifer may say something because I think she a movie out. She’ll probably say something similar. I will be shocked if she says she’s glad.

      • Lenn says:

        But come on, after being divorced for over a decade, she still gets questions about this man? She’s obliged to give a comment?? That’s crazy to me.

      • Chinoiserie says:

        Tabloids writing stuff and paparazzi’s huoneiston them and journalists asking buch of questions at work events are not the same.

    • Esmom says:

      It’s still the stuff of tabloid writers dreams. For whatever reason.

    • crtb says:

      Now we will have 10 more years of rag magazines telling us:
      She and Brad are getting back together
      She is pregnant with Brad’s baby
      Justin is divorcing her because she is still in love with Brad.
      Brad’s kids love/hate her when he took her to meet them

      It took ten years for the triangle stories to finally calm down and now we will have 10 more years.

  8. Sixer says:

    The thought bubble is…

    “I’m about two seconds away from doing my Leftovers lip wobble, which I patented. STOP LOOKING AT ME.”

    (I love Leftovers, btw, including Justin’s patented lip wobble.)

    • Liberty says:

      All the gold stars, m’dear!!!

    • mia girl says:

      That lip wobble is a character in itself!
      I love that show so much.

    • nicole says:

      I love that show. It is so depressing and I can only handle an episode at a time, but it’s amazing and so under appreciated. The acting is great.

    • tracking says:

      LOL–lip wobbling and glistening are definitely his things.

    • Sixer says:

      I honestly think that show is one of the cleverest and most under-appreciated on TV. And even allowing for the hilarity of the lip wobble, Justin is excellent in it.

      Alternative thought bubble, with Justin in Shakespearan thesp mode:

      “Is this a BrexPitt which I see before me,
      The paparazzi toward my lip wobble?”

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      I cannot wait for The Leftovers to return- honestly one of the very best serials I have seen.

      • Nicole says:

        Ya’ll are making me want to watch again, I burst into tears in the last finale I saw, it was with a baby. Was that the first season?

      • Sixer says:

        That is S1, I think.

        You have to watch Justin doing karaoke in S2. It’s completely brilliant.

  9. ReineDidon says:

    I honestly think it’s unfair for Aniston to still be dragged into her ex’s drama. But for her fameseeking hubby I think it is well deserved 😀 marrying Aniston doesn’t come with free publicity only, he should have the ball$ to deal with the drama too !

  10. loislane says:

    Someone’s eager to show their relationship is solid in the middle of other people Split.

    • sophie says:

      They are leaving their apartment to go out to dinner. How is that eager? Are they supposed to go in hiding because of the other two? I saw a video of Justin arriving at this apartment and one of the paps asked him which team he was on. Another pap asked Jen when they returned what time she would be leaving the apartment the next day. They are probably more upset about the effect this has on their neighbors.

    • notasugarhere says:

      It would be interesting to know if they were really apart for months. No pap photos of her visiting Australia during that time? With people of their wealth, it is odd they’d choose to spend so much time apart when they have the time and money to travel to see each other frequently.

      • Chinoiserie says:

        Australia is not exactly close.

      • anonymous1 says:

        The shoot in Australia was around 10’ish weeks. He was pictured leaving Australia and then returning after spending around 2 weeks at home at one point last month.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Australia is not close for people without money and airline contracts. For people with money, and those like Aniston who only work a few months out of the year? If they wanted to prioritize time together, they could and would have. Maybe they are happy being away from each other for months.

    • Kitten says:

      It’s reassuring to know that the crazy is still there when it comes to this couple.
      Because God forbid….

    • Amanda says:

      So they are not allowed to go outside now?
      Wow lol

  11. mia girl says:

    I really want this movie to be good.

  12. DavidBowie says:

    What the hell kind of outfit is he wearing?

    • Liberty says:

      It looks like a “My prep school just made me go home for the day until I agree to wear the khakis and a blue shirt again, but I became a musician during the summer at my parents’ place in Italy” ensemble.

    • Ally8 says:

      I’m trying to imagine Aniston keep a straight face while watching him layer on that ensemble. The tight vest over the sweatshirt, the redundant suspenders… Comical.

  13. Pedro45 says:

    “Christ, water and hair care allll day long. Doesn’t she think about anything else?”

    • Heather says:

      That’s 76% of internet traffic, so the majority of America is thinking about that on any given moment.

      • Ducky la Rue says:

        “That’s 76% of internet traffic,”

        @Heather – is that a real statistic, or one that’s made up on the spot? Because 76% seems really high, and is not in keeping with other reports I’ve read on internet usage. That would leave 24% for anything that is not hair care and water. If it IS a real stat, point me in the right direction, because that would be interesting reading. Otherwise, I’m filing this under the “Abraham Lincoln quotes on the Internet” category. 😉

  14. Kristen says:

    His outfits are SO terrible.

  15. laur says:

    HATED the book, so contrived and predictable, it could’ve been 10000000x better with a bit more imagination. Perhaps it’s because I know someone strikingly similar to the main character that I just had no time for it.

    • Esmom says:

      Yeah, my entire book club had major issues with it. It’s true that it could have been great but the end especially seemed extremely rushed and lazy.

    • Joni says:

      It’s a dumbed down version of Gone Girl.

      • lucy2 says:

        I liked it, but I definitely thought Gone Girl was much better. I do feel like this is one case where the movie might be better than the book though.

    • Neelyo says:

      I just finished it. Good plane book, that’s about it. I don’t think there was a word with more than eight letters. That doesn’t matter but I got so bored that I started to look for one.

  16. tracking says:

    “Christ, WTF with this insanity?!” expression.

  17. Rice says:

    Loved him as Seamus O’Grady in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Thought he was hilariously wacko. I’m yet to see The Leftovers. Is it any good?

    • tracking says:

      Season 2 is excellent. The problem is having to slog through the relentlessly grim Season 1 before you get there (starts coming together well only in the last few episodes, with a beautiful season finale). Amazing acting by the cast, especially Ann Dowd, Carrie Coon, and Regina King.

      • Kitten says:

        Season One was SO grim and depressing and at times, cloyingly emotional.
        That being said, I still think it was a good season and a really well-written, well-acted show. I heard S2 is much better but admittedly, I’m having trouble getting myself to commit to watching it. I feel like I need to wait until I’m in a better frame of mind to handle it….

      • mia girl says:

        Kitten – When you get the chance you have to watch S2. I suppose you can wait to binge it right before the final season begins next year.

        As you know the 2nd half of S1 was brilliant – but S2 has a whole other quality about it. Honestly, one of the best seasons of any TV show I’ve ever experienced.

  18. Heather says:

    OMG, it’s true. Justin and Marion Cotilliard are going to gain little and get bothered plenty by this.

  19. lizzie says:

    Jen is repped by the most influential publicist in Hollywood. Justin is repepd by CAA as well. He is going to be on lock down on this press tour and I would be very very surprised if he was asked anything about the Brange and if he is – he probably won’t answer and it would probably not end up in print if he did. No chance. If it comes up and he speaks to it I will be very shocked.

  20. Pat says:

    he’s high as a kite.

  21. K37744 says:

    That man is FINE in Leftovers, which is a fantastic series.

    He seems like the kind of guy you can have a beer with, and then discuss pomades, apricot scrubs and hair care. Still rugged and exTREmely sexy.

    • notasugarhere says:

      I don’t see rugged or sexy, especially when he shows up in the tailored denim cut offs, boots, and spray tan on their beach vacations. Plus the skinny jeans have got to go.

      • K37744 says:

        Watch season 2 of the Leftovers. Bearded, muscled and brooding. Nothing like his paparazzi persona!

      • notasugarhere says:

        Nothing overrides his silly addictions to skinny jeans and tanning spray. A character is a character, the man himself is addicted to the teen emo look as stated below. Absolutely no appeal, but well-matched to the shallow nature I perceive in Aniston.

    • LittleTeaPot says:

      This is indeed, a fine man. He is a good actor & seems like a nice person. I’d have a beer with him, for sure.

    • Kitten says:

      His voice.
      I’m not attracted to him at all, then he starts talking and…yeah, I can’t help it.
      A good, sexy voice is my kryptonite.

  22. SM says:

    if he is asked constantly about Brangelina while promoting the movie, I will feel sorry for him. That is annoying and unprofessional. I will not blame anyone – him or Jennifer, if they put such “journalists”in their place. I however do blame him for this look which I thing is the real problem that needs attention here – all the eyebrow grooming, the orange face pared up with his constant need to be edgy and failing by looking like an overgrown emo teenager in his skinny jeans.

  23. Almondjoy says:

    Bwaaahaha looks like me when I realize I left the stove on

  24. Paisley says:

    The book is great; cannot wait to see the movie.

    I have some advice for JA….take care of your marriage! You don’t want to go through another nightmare.

  25. khaveman says:

    For all the money he has to spend on clothes, he wears the same black, uninspired, grungy outfit every time. Repetition is not the epitome of cool. Does he think he is in a band?

  26. molly says:

    “Who’s team r u on?” God these paparazzi r so childish. Anything for a soundbite.

    • Capella says:

      yes!! I just watched that TMZ video above … their hounding questions are incredibly asinine. It would take so much self control to not rip into the tmz people and their utter parasitic stupidity. “What team are you on?!?” … like they really expect him to turn around and contemplate the concept of team Jolie or Pitt and give them an answer?!?!

  27. Frosty says:

    That picture! He looks like he caught a whiff of his own douche fumes.

  28. cicada says:

    I think he just spotted a Snorlax.

  29. aenflex says:

    He embodies douche. If my husband dressed like that, I would slap him and send back to the closet for another try.
