'Leftovers' Star Justin Theroux Discusses Girlfriend Jennifer Aniston And His Years As A Struggling Actor In August Issue Of Details Magazine

Justin Theroux, star of HBO's The Leftovers, comes clean about his relationship with Jennifer Aniston in the August issue of Details magazine.

When asked how he weathers the challenges of being in such a high profile relationship and the intrusiveness of the paparazzi he said, "It doesn't feel like a hardship. It doesn't feel difficult. 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 couple has been under constant media scrutiny since meeting through mutual friend, Robert Downey, Jr. in 2007. After announcing their engagement in 2012, the intensity has only increased while the world awaits an official wedding announcement. Theroux takes all the rumors and gossip in stride. He says, "It's always based in fiction. You just kind of ignore it, but then you also become reluctant to say anything about the relationship. I could say everything's good, and 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."

In the interview, Theroux also reminisces about his days as a struggling actor. He admits he used to dumpster-dive to survive. "'I used to garbage-pick. It sounds much more disgusting than it is. You learn a lot about society by seeing what's thrown away. During the period I was doing that, a lot of great stuff was being tossed."
