Brush With Fame: Justin Theroux Thinks Im a Stalker

Justin Theroux: david_shankbone, mutated as well as licensed CC.

It was the summer of 2004 in New York City. we was in Washington Square Park as well as so was he Justin Theroux, which is; the ultra-talented yet under-the-radar character actress Id had the terrible crush upon ever since we saw his portrayal of the Northern Irish mobster in Charlies Angels: Full Throttle.*

Justin Theroux played the director in Mulholland Drive. He played cuckolded Joe upon Season Three of Six Feet Under. He was the Evil DJ in Zoolander. A brilliant actor, as well as not bad upon the eyes, either.

*No judging; it was the in-flight film upon my approach to London.

Id only moved to Greenwich Village confused as well as grateful after finding the lease stabilized unit upon the east side of the park. we worked nights then, as well as was personally anxious to discover which Justin Theroux lived in the area when my walks home coincided with him receiving his dogs out for the light expert in the Washington Square dog run. After Id run in to him the couple of times, he began to curtsy my approach when he saw me. Id accidentally curtsy back.

Sup, Justin. You were all awesome as the cowboy douche in Romy as well as Michelles High School Reunion.

Except we never pronounced the word. Why would I? We were strangers, as well as we was the supposedly jaded New Yorker. Id seen dozens of celebrities, even if, admittedly, nothing we admired so most as well as really nothing who famous me. Nodding at Justin upon my approach home from work was the good cap to the day.

One night, we crossed the play ground as well as glanced over at the dog run we didnt see Justin. But the run was otherwise full of dogs scampering after each other as well as attractive twigs. we stood in front of the run for the couple of seconds, watching dual Jack Russell Terriers play. And! , sure, we suppose we suspicion it would have been cold if Justin had showed up. Or Janeane Garofalo for which make the difference we often saw her on foot her dogs in the neighborhood, too.

Washington Square Park by night: visnup

Now, the Washington Square Park dog run is surrounded by the sequence couple fence. That fence is surrounded by shrubs. Since it was dark, we was tortuous forward, tighten to the shrubs, to see what was happening in the run.

I listened the soft cough as well as looked up. It was Justin Theroux, staring right at me from inside the dog run.

Hey, he said. Where had he been this total time dark at the back of the pillar? If it hadnt been dark, Im sure he would have seen me spin splendid red as we continued to peer by the bushes.

What must he think? Well, we had been anticipating hed uncover up, hadnt I? What did which make me, anyway?

Mortified thats what. My heart was pounding. My palms were sharp with sweat.

He was waiting. we had to contend something. Id contend something logical. Id contend something which didnt make me look like the complete stalker whackjob.

I said, Dogs are fun to watch at night.

If he was puzzled, he didnt uncover it. we nodded at him curtly as well as scurried away. After that, we proposed receiving the prolonged approach home from work, trimming the fringes of the park.

The shame.
