Justin Theroux insists that he doesn't mind being called 'Mr. Jennifer Aniston'

Justin Theroux is a man after our own hearts, with the 45-year-old actor admitting that he bloomin’ loves being known as ‘Mr. Jennifer Aniston’ because he is hugely proud of his brilliant wife.

Aw, isn’t he adorable?

Speaking to The Sunday Times Magazine, Justin was asked if he minded being known by his famous wife, and he replied: “It doesn’t really get under my skin. It’s just one of those things that’s a shorthand for describing who I am.

“[Jennifer] is a proper badass. She has lived through a lot of bulls**t. Many people would have crumbled under some of the stresses that have been put on her. I’m very
proud of her for that, for the way she handles herself.

“So in a weird way it’s an honour to stand behind her. Truly, in that sense, she’s amazing.”

Justin and Jennifer started dating in 2011 after appearing in ‘Wanderlust’ together, although the pair were friends for many years beforehand.

The star went on to praise his wife for the way that she deals with the public interest in her life, referencing an open letter that she wrote for the Huffington Post about pregnancy speculation.

Justin explained: “She’s similar to me – she doesn’t pay attention to it unless she has to. But there’s definitely times when your privacy is invaded. Areas of your personal life that are yours to discuss among yourselves and your friends and family shouldn’t be a topic for national debate.

“She addressed it beautifully in her HuffPost piece. I was very, very proud of her for writing that. It was very well written. She expressed herself beautifully.”

Justin previously defended Jennifer when her name was dragged into her ex, Brad Pitt’s, split from his wife Angelina Jolie.

Jennifer has kept a dignified silence on the matter.
