The new HBO series The Leftovers is gaining in popularity and everyone is talking about the show’s leading man Justin Theroux. Well, they have been talking about his bulge specifically. That is right, the man wears one pair sweatpants while jogging in the pilot episode and a bunch of woman go all googly goo (official writer term) over it for weeks and weeks to come. Theroux, who is engaged to Friends star Jennifer Aniston, has been the subject of public doting of two of his co-stars. First Liv Tyler made mention of his bulge on live TV, and then Amy Brenneman broke her oath of silence to boost about it to reporters.
Last week Liv Tyler was a guest on the Bravo talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she told the host about her obsession with Justin Theroux's bulge:
“There was this scene where he was jogging. and there was quite a large bulge in his sweatpants and it was all over.”
Tyler went on to add that Justin Theroux's bulge can really take her out of the scene:
“I get distracted when I watch the pilot, definitely. I’m like, ‘Can’t help but look there.’ But I’ve never noticed the bulge other times.”
Now Theroux’s on screen (soon to be ex) wife, Amy Brenneman, is hoping on the the bulge train. Recently, Brenneman spoke to (yes she can speak) The Huffington Post, where she said:
"It's really adorable, and a very specific choice. And I don't know who came up with that -- if it was Justin, wardrobe, Damon [Lindelof, the show's co-creator]."
You can tune into The Leftovers this Sunday at 10:00 on HBO to see if you can see Justin’s bulge.
