[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was engaged and set to get married in August 2022. Met Justin in 2022. Her wedding registries are still up, lol.[/quote]

LMAO she is so sketchy

I'm guessing her engagement didn't last very long, since so few items were purchased. Wonder if she got to keep the $900 espresso machine!

Anyway, she wouldn't have needed much to move into Theroux's fancy duplex that Jen Aniston paid to renovate soup to nuts.[/quote]

My suspicion is that this website was registered under the fiancé's email address and he never removed it from the public website. 10 bucks says she's sent him a few terse emails over the years asking him to remove it.

She totally dumped her fiancé for Justin Theroux. [/quote]

I think Theroux is bright and can be very charming when he wants to be, but there's also so much shady stuff out there about him. She must have been enthusiastic about his relative wealth and fame. But I still don't get it. He's practically geriatric compared to her and her ex-fiance, who is so much more handsome and seemingly normal.[/quote]

She wants the lifestyle. She can easily secure her wealth and fame now, pop out a few kids, and then divorce and move on very easily. Sort of like Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner. [/quote]

I think she takes wealth as a given. Her stepfather is definitely wealthy, evidence of affluent lifestyle clear in mom's insta. She was never going to marry a poor man. But I think her main interest is fame and a successful acting career. She's had smaller roles in prestige projects, but Paradise plus the Theroux relationship ups her visibility in a desirable way. The funny thing is this never would have been possible had Jennifer Aniston not taken a liking to Theroux. His PR and red carpet photos had no value until then. He's still more interesting because he's Jennifer's ex not in his own right (despite his outstanding work in the Leftovers). And no one would be interested in her if it weren't for Theroux. They're all playing the fame game.[/quote]

I'm not surprised she moved on from the ex-fiancé in finance to Theroux, based on her recent career success. The ex might be wealthy and connected, but he has an actual job in NYC that probably involves long hours and a decent amount of travel and stress. If you were an actress just starting to get real traction for jobs, would you want to be tied to that? It would cause friction almost immediately. Especially if he wanted kids and family. She's at a phase in her career where she needs to be mobile and flexible so she can take the best opportunities available. If she gets a job on a movie with the right director and it's filming in Romania for 3 months, she should go. If she landed a White Lotus role that required her to move to Thailand for 6 months (as the cast of the current season did), then she should take it. And even smaller demands -- she'll need to be bicoastal in a real way to take advantage of opportunities in NY and LA. What kind of impact would that have on a new marriage between two people in their early-30s, one of whom has a pretty traditional job in an office? It would never have worked.

So while she seems obnoxious and the age difference with Theroux is gross, I get it. I'm sure the fact that Theroux is also an actor was very appealing to her. Yes, I have no doubt the industry connections were appealing, but I also bet she just liked being with someone who does what she does, understands the demands of the industry, has been through what she is currently going through with his own career. And their lifestyle is so much more flexible than anything she could have had with the ex. Theroux is a lot less likely to be bothered by her taking jobs all over the world or having to travel last minute for things. They can both view the PR and red carpet part of the job professionally and comfortably, as they are both performers (whereas her ex would have had to view it all as an outsider and I think that can be extremely alienating for civilians). Here's this spread in Vogue that whores out their wedding, and serves as major PR for both of them (these photos essentially serve as headshots for potential jobs, show how attractive they are and how they look in certain clothes, it's a stealthy way to get directors and casting directors to think about them and look at them in a certain light) -- the NYT Vows piece that would have accompanied her wedding to finance guy would not have been as professionally useful to her.

So yeah, it's a little icky, but I guess it bothers me less than when normies go into marriages like this. Actors are a different species, they have different relationship needs, [b]especially in skyrocketing careers[/b]. This honestly might be the best possible person for either of them to marry right now. They have way more in common with each other than either would have with anyone outside Hollywood.[/quote]

Let’s get real. Neither of them have “skyrocketing” careers. I’ve never even heard of her until this wedding.[/quote]

I think PP makes a lot of good points. He got a lot of exposure from Aniston, which helped his career. He works steadily as a character actor, even if he isn't  the leading man type. The Leftovers showed he could be, but for whatever reason he's not on that track and is aging out anyway. Her career is on the verge of taking off. The Paradise role, though supporting, is a meaty one that shows she's not just a cute face. If she gets lucky and chooses well, she could be on track to have a successful career. They're both career- and NY-focused, so do have a lot in common. He never had to whore himself out with Aniston, all handed to him on a silver platter, but he's okay with doing it now to help his and Nicole's careers now since they're not in the same league. Even with a good amount in common, don't think they'll last. They will each prioritize career, and one or both will inevitably cheat at some point. Probably him, but wouldn't shock me if she tries to trade up at some point.[/quote]

I don’t know about her. Maybe she will take off.

It’s a little hard to believe he will. He had a very small role on the Mindy making Kate Hudson quirky comedy running point. I think he is trying to get some steady work but if he was being considered for big meaty roles I don’t see him signing on to this.

He’s had a respectable career but i don’t see him on the verge of breaking big at this point. [/quote]
