Sort of on topic:
1. Justin’s dad (Paul Theroux) is a talented travel writer who worshipped V.S. Naipaul. When spurned by the latter after what he considered a strong friendship, P. Theroux wrote the memoir “Sir Vidia’s Shadow”, which is one of the most narcissistic hit jobs I’m aware of (not that V.S. was a peach). Probably not too surprising to read these things about Justin. I thought he was brilliant in Six Feet Under, though. 2. I’d forgotten about David Bloom—Nicole’s dad—and his tragically early death. I admire his widow’s campaign to educate people about the dangers of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli. Just a PSA that the gene that David Bloom had, Factor V Leiden, increases your risks of both, but most people who develop DVTs and PEs don’t have the gene. These conditions can be deadly, and it’s very important to avoid dehydration while traveling and try to not be sedentary. Post-surgery, ask your doctor about aspirin to about clots. |
Um, last I checked, Paul Theroux was NOT Justin’s Dad. He is his UNCLE. lol. |
| Justin Theroux’s father is a corporate lawyer, based in DC. |
I forgot to add his name is Eugene Theroux. |
That clip is going around SM. It does not bode well. And I didn’t recognize him at first. He’s really messed up his face. |
Of course he's clueless, and of course she's the one doing the work (with nanny help, surely). The apartment is not large--they probably are worried about making noise and waking the baby up. Especially with a dog who might bark. |
I don't think they have a relationship. Pretty sure he didn't attend either of the weddings. |
Looks just like him. Sounds like he was very career-focused and away on international travel a lot. https://www.law.virginia.edu/news/200503/international-law-field-full-opportunities-theroux-says |

Newborns sleep like a rock. They don’t even need darkness. The fact that Justin thinks a newborn needs absolute silence to sleep is telling. |
Erm, a barking dog would definitely wake up a baby. And not all babies sleep like a rock. One of mine did not, at all. |
Newborns do. Google it. |
| Newborns do not need absolute silence to sleep; in fact, consistent, low-level noise (like white noise) can mask sudden sounds and help them sleep better. While sudden, loud noises can overstimulate and wake them, a completely silent environment is often unnecessary and can make them more sensitive to small noises. |
I had two, Google not necessary! |
I’m not talking baby stage, like 3 months and up. I’m talking newborn stage when they sleep 14-19 hrs/day and only wake to eat. They are very sleepy. The newborn period is short. It’s a well documented fact that they sleep like rocks. Only very loud noises may startle them. In fact, you are encouraged to not be quiet in that phase so they aren’t over sensitive later. |
