Justin Theroux was just a little bit “in love” with his “White House Plumbers” character.
In the upcoming HBO series, Theroux plays G. Gordon Liddy, who alongside E. Howard Hunt (played by Woody Harrelson) organized and directed the botched burglaries of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex in 1972.
“He wrote this autobiography, ‘Will,’ in which you sort of get the impression when you’re reading it, it’s sort of a tall tale, or you can kind of go like, ‘this is …’ you know. He sort of strikes me as sort of like a Paul Bunyan type character, a guy who can punch a tree down,” he told Page Six exclusively at the show’s premiere Monday.
