Justin Theroux, who is famously married to Jennifer Aniston, has a knack for attracting attention. However, during his time filming The Leftovers in Melbourne, Australia, he found himself apologizing for the unwanted attention his relationship brought. Although he is used to being scrutinized, he acknowledged that it could be unsettling for his co-stars. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, he expressed his understanding of their discomfort.
During the filming of the popular series The Leftovers in Melbourne, Australia, Justin Theroux, who is a public figure, had to apologize for the attention his relationship with his wife, Jennifer Aniston, brings. As the third and final season is set to release, he spoke to the publication about his lack of privacy. He compared it to the weather, saying that you cannot fight it and if it’s going to rain, it’s going to rain. He also mentioned how he typically apologizes to the cast, but they reassure him not to worry about it.
The actor likened the intense attention on set to a sudden rainstorm in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. He admitted that although he has become accustomed to the distractions, it can be challenging for other actors, especially during emotional scenes. Carrie Coon, who stars alongside him in the show, sympathized with his situation and praised him for handling the pressure with grace despite having paparazzi trailing him worldwide.
During an interview, Justin expressed his concern about the distractions on set while filming intense scenes, despite being accustomed to them. Last June, it was announced that the production would move from the US to Melbourne’s Docklands and surrounding areas in Victoria, and the show’s action would reflect this shift. The third season of the show takes place four years after season two and revolves around Kevin and his family attempting to start anew in Australia after The Departure. According to E! Online, Justin revealed that the series’ ending is unexpected but not controversial. He further added that the show always keeps its audience guessing by zigging when they expect it to zag. Justin stated he was deeply moved by the script and gave no spoilers regarding the finale.
Playing a demanding role is not an easy feat, as exemplified by Carrie Coon who portrays Police chief Kevin Garvey on the show. She empathizes with her co-star’s struggles and acknowledges the pressure that comes along with it.
