Justin Theroux is doing fine, but the reports about him are saying otherwise.

Theroux and Jennifer Aniston’s marriage is going great, but the tabloids have been reporting that they have been splitting up and getting back together several times already. Theroux told Mr Porter that “this never-ending operative narrative on the pages of a magazine week to week” has been thrusting a villainous character on him.

“It’s just not a part of me,” Theroux said about the tabloid reports. “There’s this slightly insane person running around on the covers of tabloids who is mentally ill, clearly.”

“You have to be the guardian of your own senses,” Theroux continued. “If a tree falls in the forest and you’re not there to see it, you know. But for the most part, it’s not as pervasive in our lives as people think. Occasionally you’ll get whacked by something. It’s definitely something you have to analyze and come to terms with. Which I think [my wife] has done very elegantly and pretty effortlessly.”

Last year, Aniston published an essay for Huffington Post to address gossip, which she has never done before because she doesn’t want to “give energy to the business of lies.”

“For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of ‘journalism,’ the ‘First Amendment’ and ‘celebrity news,’” Aniston wrote.

Aniston added that tabloid practices are unlikely to change anytime soon and that it depends on the readers how much they buy on what has been served. She is hoping that someday, tabloids will have a “more humanized lens.”

In related news, Aniston and Theroux celebrated their second wedding anniversary earlier this month. “The District” star celebrated another year of their marriage by sharing a photo of them together with Aniston kissing him on the cheek on Instagram.
