But while filming hit HBO show The Leftovers in Melbourne, Australia last year, Justin Theroux, 45, found himself apologising for the attention his relationship brings.

Speaking to the publication ahead of the release of the third and final season, he opened up about his lack of privacy.
Using a weather analogy, he said: 'You can't fight it so if it's going to rain that day, it's going to rain that day.'
He added: 'I usually apologise (to the cast) and they say don't worry about it'.

But he pointed out that no matter how used to the distractions he is, shooting intense scenes can be problematic for the other actors.
'I have gotten more used to it but when people who aren’t used to it have to act and they might be doing something emotional …. it can be annoying,' he told the publication.
Carrie Coon, who stars on the show as Police chief Kevin Garvey, is one actress faced with such a dilemma, but said that she feels nothing but sympathy for her co-star.
'Justin has them (paparazzi) all over the world ... He is so graceful about all of it, (but) it’s so much pressure,' she said.

It was announced last June that the production would shift from its US base to film at Melbourne's Docklands and surrounding country Victoria, with action on the show following suit.
Picking up four years after season two ended and nearing he seventh anniversary of The Departure, it will see Justin's character Kevin and his family trying to move to Australia to start a new life.
The star teased the ending of the series as unexpected but not controversial, according to E! Online.
'I think our show does a thing where you expect it to zig and it always zags... but without giving anything away I can say when I read the script I was completely moved,' he told the publication.
