Theroux has now shared more of his musical favourites while taking on BBC Radio 6 Music’s 6 Questions interview.
Talking about his current musical obsessions, he said: “If I’m left to my own devices, I’ll find myself listening to Frank Ocean a lot. I’ve got this weird soft spot for Post Malone for some reason.
“I don’t feel bad about it. I like Post Malone. It is what it is.”

Speaking about the best gigs he’s ever been to, he referenced a White Stripes gig at London’s Alexandra Palace, saying “that was superb. I think that was the first time I kind of clicked with The White Stripes, so it was memorable for that.
