Justin Theroux taped an appearance on the latest Ellen DeGeneres show, in a bid to drum up publicity for his latest film, “Wanderlust,” in which he stars opposite Paul Rudd and real-life girlfriend Jennifer Aniston. Below is a video.

As fans must already know, Aniston and Theroux have been dating for almost a year, give or take a few months, depending on who they choose to believe.

Until just recently, the two barely spoke about their romance, even though the tabloids were having a field day with speculation about their life as a couple.

On Ellen the other day, Justin revealed that, if anything, one of Jennifer's favorite things about him is his ability to break dance.

Since she learned that he can only bust a move in a certain pair of shoes, she makes sure she has them with her wherever they go – just so she can ask him to do a little number for her.

“I have a very particular pair of shoes which I break dance in. Actually when my girlfriend [Jennifer Aniston], I don’t know if any of you guys know her...,” Theroux says.

“She just recently celebrated a birthday and ever since she saw 'Zoolander' she’s been obsessed with making me break dance. Literally obsessed with it. I break danced at a friend's wedding,” he explains.

“So she’s been saying when are you going to break dance? That’s when I sort of invented this thing. Well, I have shoes my 'breaking shoes' and if I don’t have my 'breaking shoes' then I don’t break dance, sort of full stop. We got home that night . It was late and she literally came out with a pair shoes. My actual 'breaking shoes',” Justin recalls.

Of course, Ellen pulls a fast one on him and takes out a bag with a note from Jennifer stuck on it, reading “I thought Justin might need this.”

Inside the brown paper bag is, you guessed it, the pair of breaking shoes he can't do without.

Now that he can't get out of a request from the talk show host by saying he doesn't have the right shoes on, Theroux break dances for Ellen and her audience – and it's quite an impressive number he puts on.

Check out the clip. “Wanderlust” will be out in theaters soon.
