Justin Theroux knows you've been zooming in on his package while watching The Leftovers and he's definitely not okay with it.
The star of HBO's critically-acclaimed supernatural drama has become a bit of a social media phenomenon because a single jogging scene in The Leftovers that, umm, highlights his package quite prominently.
All this talk about his naughty bits is only making Theroux uncomfortable, as he's now revealed to Elle: "I don't want to say objectified, but it was embarrassing.
"It's like having someone yank your shorts down in public. It doesn't feel great. Anyone who has an unflattering picture taken of them would probably say, 'Join the club.' It has the appearance of a compliment, but it's more mortifying than anything else."
Theroux is currently wrapping up filming on the third and final season of The Leftovers, which moves its base from Texas to Australia to conclude its rapture-like mystery.
When he's not busy filming for HBO, Theroux spends as much time as possible with wife Jennifer Aniston - who he credits with helping re-shape his perception of love.

"I think [marriage] taught me to settle a little bit. It does have a calming effect," he explained. "When you hear about people in the '50s getting married at 20, you're like, 'What were they thinking?'
"My grandparents were together for over 50 years. My grandfather used to write one sentence every day in his journal: 'I love Anne more than ever today.' I think that was his meditation - keeping him in his marriage, and also his appreciation for it. It was very touching."
The couple recently denied rumours of a split to Digital Spy hours after Aniston's former husband Brad Pitt separated from his current wife Angelina Jolie.
While Aniston has stayed quiet on the Jolie-Pitt divorce, Theroux has called the hoopla surrounding it "horrible" for the couple's young children.
