Throughout his career, Louis has consistently maintained a distinctive approach to his work.

Louis and Justin
Theroux is also the podcast host of ‘Grounded with Louis Theroux’, a radio and podcast series hosted by him for BBC Radio 4. In each episode, Theroux interviews a different high-profile person whom he has always wanted to talk to. In the 10th episode of the second series of podcast, Louis Theroux keeps it within the family as he welcomes his cousin Justin Theroux as his guest. Justin, who is not only an actor but also a writer and director, joined Louis for an insightful conversation on the podcast.
During a discussion about his Hollywood connections, Louis Theroux disclosed that A-list celebrity Jennifer Aniston is the most prominent individual in his phonebook. Jennifer, who is widely known for her role in the television series 'Friends', was married to Louis' cousin Justin Theroux for three years, from 2015 to 2017, following their relationship that began in 2011.
It is plausible that Louis and Jennifer crossed paths during their shared connection to Justin or had encounters within the celebrity circles. However, Louis did not provide specific details about their initial meeting.
‘People will always want to gossip’
The topic of Louis' friendship with Jennifer arose when he was asked about the people featured in his phonebook during an interview with British Vogue. He revealed, "Jennifer Anniston is probably the most sort of high wattage celebrity. I'm a very prestigious international documentary maker."
In a recent candid interview with Esquire, Justin Theroux, aged 51, opened up about his former spouse, Jennifer Aniston. Notably, Justin was recently seen dining with her, presenting her with a rose. During the interview, he discussed the challenges of maintaining a "public relationship."
He said, “I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we’re in. And I’m not trying to be evasive, but I talk to Jen—I don’t talk about Jen. People will always want to gossip and say things, but you have to find that balance. And having been in a public relationship, it’s much more fun not being in a public relationship”. He added, “Me saying anything, even if it was something loving, it would just turn into a thing”.
The marriage between Justin and the star of 'Murder Mystery' lasted only two years, as they tied the knot in 2015 and amicably parted ways in 2017. Despite the separation, Justin and Jennifer have maintained a close bond, occasionally celebrating birthdays and holidays together.
