Jennifer Aniston: Justin Theroux is my rock

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Aniston feels safe with boyfriend Justin Theroux. The actress admits Justin — who she’s been dating for a year — has had a massively positive impact on her life.

“He’s a protector, for sure. He’s just a good human being, and so funny,” he said.

The former Friends beauty stars in comedy movie Wanderlust — in which she plays one-half of a couple who turn their backs on their hectic New York lives to live in a hippy commune — with Justin, 40, and she really enjoyed shooting the film in a secluded location.

Aniston says the she and her castmates were able to relax because there were no paparazzi or fans around and she admits it felt like she was a regular person again.

“All of a sudden I began decompressing,” she said. “It’s weird, but it felt like living a normal life; almost like having your anonymity back. Nobody bothered us and we were protected as a group.

“There were no paparazzi and no secret, tricky little cell phone pictures being taken. I realized how paranoid and guarded and not trusting I had become. Not consciously so, but just this armor that I kind of have, protective armor. It’s not for my friends or family, but for being outside in the world, always on guard.”
