Justin Theroux says working as an actor is a little bit like being a real-life spy.

The 46-year-old star plays the role of a secret agent in his new movie 'The Spy Who Dumped Me' and Justin has admitted he can see similarities between the two professions.

Asked whether there's any overlap between the jobs, Justin replied: "Yes, maybe, in that you are pretending to be someone else. One difference is ... and it makes me laugh when more serious actors think that they're really doing the thing that they're not doing at all, is that there is no jeopardy in an actor's life, really.”
