Howard Stern has revealed further details about the secret wedding of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux.
The shock jock was a guest at the surprise nuptials in Los Angeles earlier this month, which the couple disguised as Justin’s birthday bash, but claimed he knew it was going to be their big day because he was asked to give a speech.
Howard said on his radio show he gave an emotional talk at the wedding.
“I’m very friendly with Justin. I like him very much. I like him, I really admire him. I even said in my speech to them that if one of my daughters brought home a guy like Justin, I’d be very pleased,” he recalled.
“I talked about some personal stuff, too. I complimented Justin’s mother on raising such a wonderful son. I love him.
“I told Jennifer that she deserved a guy like this, because after all, she’s been very sweet and generous with us. But Justin and his body. His abs, his a**. Look at him. I’m giddy over him!”
But Howard couldn’t resist making a joke at the expense of the Wanderlust and Tropic Thunder star, saying: “Except for the s****y tattoos. Cause he’s got some f***ing weird ones.
“And except for the fact that I gave him a journal to draw in and he draws pictures of dead zombie babies with blood dripping out their head on every almost page. I said, those two things might disturb me. But aside from that.”
Howard also revealed Jimmy Kimmel “did a beautiful job” officiating the ceremony, and Sia gave a live performance for the first dance.
“Jimmy was the preacher. I didn’t think he’d get through it. Jimmy’s still depressed about that lion getting killed over in Africa,” he quipped.
The 61-year-old outspoken DJ also said the ceremony was highly secretive, and complained about how guests had to hand in their mobile phones so photos of the couple wouldn’t be leaked.
“Why can’t I have my cell phone? I don’t want to take a picture of you two! I really don’t,” he said.
“I want my cell phone so after I make this speech I can call my car and get the f*** outta here! People were laughing at my misery.”
Other guests at the wedding included Ellen DeGeneres, Whitney Cummings and Orlando Bloom.
It’s the second marriage for former Friends star Jennifer, 46, who got divorced from Brad Pitt in 2005, and the first for 44-year-old Justin.
