Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston may have managed to pull off a secret wedding at their home in August, but the actor has admitted it was difficult keeping it quiet. The couple told guests they were hosting a surprise birthday party for Justin on 5 August, before surprising family and friends by tying the knot.

"I wouldn't say it was fun to plan. Part of the fun of planning a wedding is telling people, and we had to keep it under wraps," Justin told New York Daily News.

The 44-year-old continued to say he felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders after they were finally able to reveal the truth.

"I noticed it almost immediately," he said. "It's like your blood pressure goes down to PSI. It's not like life is completely different. It's a beautiful thing."

It is not the first time Justin has spoken out about his new life as a married man. Speaking to People magazine three weeks after his big day, Justin said: "I'm very happy. It's nice to be able to look down and see a new piece of jewellery on my finger."
