It seems Jennifer Aniston had other thoughts flitting through her head the first time she met Justin Theroux on the set of "Tropic Thunder." The action comedy, "Tropic Thunder," a satirical film that nevertheless came under fire for antisemitic themes, the use of blackface by Robert Downey Jr's character, and its depiction of disabled people, was co-written by Theroux.
As far as first impressions go, actor and filmmaker Theroux made "The Switch" star feel hot — literally. Aniston, sharing the details about her initial musings, told E News in 2015 that the first time she met Theroux, "He was wearing black, black, black, and I started to sweat just looking at him."
However, there was a reason for his look and demeanor. "I remember thinking, Isn't he hot? But he was actually really quiet," shared Aniston in the February 2015 issue of InStyle magazine (via USA Today). "I later came to find out that he was just exhausted because he had been writing nonstop, like a little hamster on a wheel. This was his one night off, and he had no personality, but he was very sweet and very overdressed. I was like, 'You must be really shvitzing up a storm in those jeans and combat boots.'"
