In an interview with Extra last week, Theroux revealed he and his famous wife, who was previously married to Brad Pitt, haven't actually discussed whether or not she should take his last name.

And, he says, he's fine with that.

'I don't think it would be great if she did,' he said. 'I think "Aniston" is going to stick with her if she likes it or not.'

Theroux is currently promoting the new season of his HBO series The Leftovers, that premieres on Sunday.

The drama set in a Texas town centers around those left behind after the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of tens of millions of people around the world.

'It becomes a weirdly more psychological, emotional drama,' Theroux said of the new season during his ABC interview Wednesday. 'It's not quite as bleak as the first season.' 

The series is filmed in Austin, Texas, and while the actor is busy working on season two of the show, his wife of seven weeks is also on location in Atlanta, Georgia, filming her new movie Mother's Day.
