America’s sweetheart! Julia Roberts‘ movie profession has spanned many years and genres, even incomes her an Academy Award for her hard-hitting function in Erin Brockovich and charming audiences along with her Golden Globe-winning half in Pretty Woman.
“What I’ve learned is that you always want to do what you’re not doing,” the Runaway Bride star instructed The New York Times in April 2022 of her appearing profession. “Whenever I’m in a comedy, I think I just want to be at a table with a cup of tea sobbing over something. Then you’re doing that, and you think, ‘Oh to be wearing a pretty dress and laughing.’ People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one.”
She added: “If I had read something that I thought was that Notting Hill level of writing or My Best Friend’s Wedding level of madcap fun, I would do it. … I’m living my acting dreams.”
The Georgia native — who acquired her begin appearing in Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias — finally went on to star in a string of profitable romantic comedies, together with Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride and Notting Hill.
Her starring flip as lawyer Erin Brockovich within the 2001 drama of the identical title went on to win Roberts her first Oscar. “[I keep my trophy] in the parlor,” the Ocean’s 11 actress revealed throughout a December 2019 look on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “It’s in a room that has a piano in it that my daughter [Hazel] plays, so we call it the piano room and I thought it might sound pretentious, so I said ‘parlor’ [instead].”
While Roberts — who shares twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and youthful son Henry with husband Danny Moder — loves performing, it’s the function of “mom” and “wife” which might be her favourite positions.
“When I’m not working, [being a homemaker] is my full-time job,” the Gaslit star throughout an October 2022 interview for CBS Sunday Morning. “It isn’t rainbows and kittens every day, but it does bring me a lot of joy.”
She continued on the time: “It’s just never consumed me, being an actor. It is my dream come true, but it is not my only dream come true. The life that I have built with my husband [and] the life that we’ve built with our children, that’s the best stuff. To come home at the end of the day, triumphantly, to them.”
