“Iron Man 2″ and “Thor” actor KEITH MIDDLEBROOK denied reports that he and JUSTIN THEROUX discussed the latter’s hard core druggie past…well, sort of.

Amid the uproar following Middlebrook‘s earlier statement that Jennifer Aniston‘s new beau abused “powerful painkillers like Dilaudid, as well as mushrooms, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, LSD and crack,” Middlebrook has started backtracking in a suspiciously roundabout way…

Middlebrook told Hollywood celebrity websites he was misquoted when he gave an interview, particularly with the following statement about Justin:

“He told me about using powerful painkillers like Dilaudid, as well as mushrooms, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, LSD and crack. We talked about writing, women, and drugs.”

Middlebrook, who’s had small roles in TV’s “Entourage,” “CSI,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and “The Sopranos”, says he never specifically said that. However, he curiously adds:

“If I am wrong and there was past drug use, he is living testimony that a person can get it together and succeed, because Justin shows absolutely no signs of any drug use at all.”

Hmmm…is Keith Middlebrook covering his tracks to avoid making a powerful enemy of Jen Aniston, A-list celeb? That is to say, the guy has to find work in Hollywood, doesn’t he? Even if it’s just bit parts in big movies…
