Vince Vaughn is convinced the press is disappointed by his 'soap-opera' relationship with Jennifer Aniston, because it doesn't deem him a worthy leading man.
The comedy star has watched the tabloid frenzy surrounding the couple, who have yet to admit they are dating despite being linked since shooting The Break-up together last year.
He says: "You know they (tabloid reporters) are just doing their job.
“They're trying to sell magazines, so you kind of try to take it with a grain of salt.
"I kind of feel like the tabloids sometimes write stuff that is true and a lot of the time they make stuff up. They're kind of like soap-opera writers where you're like the story they think will sell. I feel they are very disappointed with the casting of me.
"They're like: ‘I don't know. How do we write this guy off the show?’"
