(Photo by Allen Berezovsky/WireImage)Allen Berezovsky—WireImage/Getty Images by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Oct 6, 2016 5:53 PM UTC By this point, [Jennifer Aniston](http://motto.time.com/4403708/jennifer-aniston-huffington-post/) is a pro at being an A-list celebrity. Her husband, [Justin Theroux](http://motto.time.com/4404461/justin-theroux-jennifer-aniston-body-shaming/), thinks so, too. In an [interview](http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-interview-justin-theroux-mr-jennifer-aniston-f2tw08j7h) with the U.K.’s _Sunday Tines,_ Theroux opens up about being married to Aniston and how proud he is of her for having “lived through a lot of bulls–t.” Aniston has inevitably been dragged into the [Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie divorce](http://time.com/4515362/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-family-decision-plan/) headlines, but Theroux praises her sense of calm in the midst of the media attention. “Many people would have crumbled under some of the stresses that have been put on her,” Theroux [said](http://www.etonline.com/news/199655%5Fjustin%5Ftheroux%5Fpraises%5Fbadass%5Fjennifer%5Faniston%5Fshe%5Flived%5Fthrough%5Fa%5Flot%5Fof%5Fbullst/). “I’m very proud of her for that, for the way she handles herself.” “So in a weird way it’s an honor to stand behind her,” he added. Theroux went on to call Aniston “amazing” and “a proper badass.” While many women are identified as the wives of their husband, [Theroux](http://time.com/4510244/justin-theroux-brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-divorce-comment/) doesn’t mind being thought of as the opposite: Mr. Jennifer Aniston. He [told](http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/10/justin-theroux-mr-jennifer-aniston) the _Times_ that the nickname “doesn’t really get under my skin. It’s just one of those things that’s a shorthand for describing who I am.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4521048/justin-theroux-mr-jennifer-aniston/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4521048/justin-theroux-mr-jennifer-aniston/"},"headline":"Justin Theroux Really Doesn't Mind His 'Mr. Jennifer Aniston' Title","datePublished":"2016-10-06T17:53:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:31.932Z","description":"Because she's \"a proper badass\"","url":"https://time.com/4521048/justin-theroux-mr-jennifer-aniston/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53d0402b97fb1c34/6988a8ec0b72e3492b6eb404/justin-theroux-jennifer-aniston-nickname.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53d0402b97fb1c34/6988a8ec0b72e3492b6eb404/justin-theroux-jennifer-aniston-nickname.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals","caption":"2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals","creditText":"Allen Berezovsky—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4521048/justin-theroux-mr-jennifer-aniston/","name":"Justin Theroux Really Doesn't Mind His 'Mr. Jennifer Aniston' Title"}}]}] ```
