Justin Theroux Wears His Name on His Ring for 'Elle'

Justin Theroux shows off his personalized name ring for a feature in Elle magazine’s August 2014 issue (with Kristen Wiig on the cover)!

Here’s what the 42-year-old actor had to share with the mag:

On his relationship with fiancee Jennifer Aniston: “My life changed a lot. More people are like, ‘Hey, man!’ And I don’t think that’s from my role in John Adams. But it only changed as much as I engaged with it, and I learned very quickly: Don’t ever engage with it. Just JKL. It was a learning curve, but it wasn’t as traumatic as you might expect. It’s just annoying. Occasionally you’ll get a stewardess congratulating you, on, I don’t know, whatever, some three-headed baby we just had.”

On the press: “I can’t get over how terrible the narrative is, just how poorly written it is. It’s worse than a telenovela. It’s so dramatic. Like, ‘They’re broken up, they’re together, they’re storming out, storming in, rushing out, rushing in.’ They make every celebrity look like a schizophrenic.”

On acting: “Acting is a job of permission. Someone has to give you permission to do it. But I have started to be like, ‘I only want to do things that I want to do,’ and writing has afforded me the luxury. Being handed a well-thought-out, beautifully written piece of ma-terial that I don’t have to affect at all, except for performing it… It’s a joy to read something I have no desire whatsoever to change.”
