"As a child of divorce all I can say is that's terrible news for those children and that's all you can really say," Theroux told Business Insiderat a press event for his upcoming film, The Girl on the Train.

"It's boring to sort of comment on anything else. People are having a bad time, that's horrible."

In terms of Aniston being roped into Brangelina's divorce coverage, Theroux thinks it boils down to people's hunger for celebrity gossip.

"There's an endless appetite for trash, apparently, though everyone would say that they don't have that appetite," Theroux said. "But I think a lot of people do because people buy it."

"But there are bigger things to b*tch about," he believes.

"It's shocking how much bandwidth things can take up when there are far more important things going on in the world."

Well put, Justin.
