Onetime rom-com queen Julia Roberts explains why she's stayed away from the genre for 20 years: 'Here’s the thing: If I’d thought something was good enough, I would have done it.'
Julia Roberts reveals that this year's Ticket to Paradise is her first romantic comedy in 20 years because before then, none of the rom-com scripts that crossed her desk were interesting enough for her to star in. One of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, Roberts is known for her roles in comedies like Notting Hill, Pretty Woman, and My Best Friend’s Wedding, as well as her more recent dramatic projects like Ben is Back and August: Osage County.
“Here’s the thing: If I’d thought something was good enough, I would have done it. But I also had three kids in the last 18 years. That raises the bar even more because then it’s not only Is this material good? It’s also the math equation of my husband’s work schedule and the kids’ school schedule and summer vacation. It’s not just, Oh, I think I want to do this. I have a sense of great pride in being home with my family and considering myself a homemaker.
