Justin Theroux wants to write TV role for Jennifer Aniston
Justin Theroux wants to write a TV role for wife Jennifer Aniston.
The 45-year-old screenwriter – who wed the 48-year-old actress in August 2015 – will have a clear schedule once the final of his HBO drama ‘The Leftovers’ concludes later this month, and said he’d love to work with the former ‘Friends’ star on a project for the small screen.
The couple are always coming up with different ideas together, though they’ve have struggled to agree on something yet.
Asked by ‘Entertainment Tonight’ if he’ll work with his spouse, he said: "If the right thing came around I would definitely [write] it. We toss around ideas occasionally, but it’s got to be something I want to write and something she wants to act in, which is harder than you might think.
"But yeah, it would be fantastic if we were able to do something together."
Justin – who has previously penned scripts for films including ‘Iron Man 2’ – is completely focused on writing at the moment and teased that he has a "few things" on the horizon, but no acting work as of yet.
He said: "Right now I’m actually going to be focused on writing.
"So I have a few things that I’ve actually already written that I’m tweaking and retooling and another thing I want to write."
Jennifer previously said that she would like to return to television one day.
The blonde beauty is best known for portraying Rachel Green in global hit sitcom ‘Friends’ but since the series ended in May 2004 she has been almost exclusively working on films and has become a much in-demand comedy actress with roles in movies such as ‘Horrible Bosses’, ‘We’re the Millers’ and ‘Office Christmas Party’.
After 13 years of the big screen, Jennifer is eager to return to the small screen and be a part of some "wonderful stories".
Speaking about her future career, she previously said: "I’ve thought about it a lot. That’s where the work is. That’s where the quality is. At this point in my career, I want to be part of wonderful stories, exciting characters, and also just having a good time. Anywhere would be a wonderful place. Netflix, Amazon – everything you’re seeing on television is fantastic
"It’s almost like there’s not much a difference."
