Justin Theroux's Silence on Jennifer Aniston: Here's Why.

Justin Theroux explains in an interview with Esquire that he won't publicly discuss his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, despite being on friendly terms since their 2018 split.

Theroux says he wants all of his relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room they're in and that he talks to Aniston but doesn't talk about her. They have remained amicable in the years since their split, openly supporting each other on social media and even working together.

"Assessing the Satirical Misses and Hits of HBO's 'White House Plumbers'"

HBO's new miniseries "White House Plumbers" attempts to satirize the Watergate scandal but falls short with a confused tone and inconsistent performances from its lead actors Woody Harrelson, Justin Theroux, and Lena Headey. The show tries to mix farce with tragedy and political commentary, but fails to cohesively bring these elements together. While there are some funny moments, the overall result feels like a long joke with a repetitive punchline.

"White House Plumbers" brings dark humor to Watergate scandal in new HBO series

Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux star as inept burglars E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, respectively, in HBO's five-part series, “White House Plumbers," based on the 1972 break-in at the Watergate Hotel that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. The criminal activity undertaken by this group was often comically inept, something Harrelson and Theroux exploited in ways that went beyond the script. The series premieres on Monday and is streaming on HBO Max.

His latest project, the HBO miniseries White House Plumbers, stars Justin as G. Gordon Liddy alongside Woody Harrelson as E. Howard Hunt during the infamous 1972 Watergate scandal.

"Review: 'White House Plumbers' Brings Watergate Comedy to HBO"

HBO's five-part series "White House Plumbers" attempts to humanize E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, two figures generally depicted as supporting comic relief in the Watergate scandal. However, the show struggles to find tonal traction and presents a series of partially managed chaos, making it a frustrating and not wholly satisfying TV series. The impressive ensemble cast feels like they're in a different show, and the discordance is probably largely intentional. While Harrelson's performance is the most in-line with the show's varied excesses, Headey's performance comes closest as a repository of cutting deliveries and subtle eye-rolls.

"Review: 'White House Plumbers' Brings Fresh Perspective to Watergate Scandal"

"White House Plumbers" is a five-episode series on HBO that follows the story of G. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt, the two agents who led the Watergate scandal. The series initially gets momentum from the weirdness of the two lead performances by Justin Theroux and Woody Harrelson, but eventually flattens out into a bland historical reenactment. The show's earlier savviness is stretched thin, and it can't decide on a firm tone. The series recruits a wealth of funny supporting people, but then minimizes what they can offer. The show's fleeting entertainment becomes more about the events, and "White House Plumbers" loses its edge when it gets to the aftermath of Watergate and underwhelms its supporting performances.

Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux's Prank-filled Bromance on Set of White House Plumbers

Woody Harrelson revealed on Good Morning America that he pranked his White House Plumbers co-star Justin Theroux by wearing extra weights for a scene in which Theroux had to carry him. Harrelson's character had passed out, and Theroux had to carry him to safety, but Harrelson had strapped a series of weights and sandbags underneath his costume to make him extremely heavy. Both actors were drawn to the show's use of humor and its stellar writing, which they attributed to the screenwriters Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck's history working on HBO's Veep. White House Plumbers will premiere on HBO on May 1, 2023.
