Justin Theroux 'shaves beard for Jennifer Aniston'

Justin Theroux has suggested that he shaved his beard to please girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.

Theroux was first linked romantically to the Horrible Bosses star in May. In a recent interview, he hinted that the actress was the cause of his new look.

"Certain chicks dig it; certain chicks don't," Theroux told GQ Magazine when asked if Aniston was a fan of the facial hair.

He went on to say that he felt the beard, which he grew for his role in the film Wanderlust, added a certain amount of character.

"You establish all sorts of mannerisms with it," Theroux said. "Like when you're bored, you can feather your moustache."

Aniston and Theroux are reportedly renting a home together in Hollywood.

The actress's mother recently suffered a stroke. Aniston and Theroux visited the hospital together last weekend.

"Justin has been very supportive and there with her all the way," an insider said. "It's a very hard time for her right now."
