Has there even been a man as stylish as Justin Theroux, straddling a high-powered motorcycle?

Not on Wednesday, as the Mulholland Drive star donned a black leather jacket, hoody, skinny jeans, boots and a pair of aviator sunglasses to go for a ride on his bike in Los Angeles.

With a camouflage rucksack strapped to his back, and a vintage black helmet on his head, Justin, 42, looked like he'd just sped off the pages of GQ magazine.

And certainly, the actor's good looks and day-to-day style is one of the reasons why he was once the cover star for the mens' publication, and has often lent his fashion knowledge to their pages, to inspire other gents to emulate his sartorial prowess.

And though most people know him as the future husband of Jennifer Aniston, he is rarely acknowledged for the big impact he's had on cinema.

As a screenwriter, Justin has written scripts for two Robert Downey Jr. films - Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller and the second installment of the Iron Man trilogy - and the film adaption of Broadway hit Rock Of Ages.

He's partnered up once more with Stiller as co-writer and director of Zoolander 2, and the two have already submitted a script to the studio for consideration.

Speaking of the comedy sequel which follows ridiculously good looking Derek Zoolander and his enemy-turned-BFF Hansel (he's so hot right now), Ben shared a few secrets from the plot.

'It's ten years later and most of it is set in Europe,' Stiller said in 2011. 'I don't want to give away too much, but it's basically Derek and Hansel (Owen Wilson) ten years later - though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime.

'Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore. It's a new world for them.'

According to Ben, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell will return as Hansel and Mugatu, but Christine Taylor (Stiller's real life wife) may not be coming back as Derek's wife and journalist Matilda Jeffries, as rumours suggest Lady Gaga is wanted as the Blue Steel star's new love interest.

In the mean time, Justin has landed the lead role in Damon Lindlof's new HBO drama The Leftovers.

The TV drama revolves around the biblical Rapture in modern times, where a group of people are forced to rebuild their lives, in the small suburban community of Mapleton, after the sudden and mysterious disappearance of more than 100 people.
