The complex character of Julia Roberts is already legendary. And the famous actress gets it not only from her film colleagues, but also from her family. Could such a dazzling smile of “Pretty Woman” be fraught with something sinister? As people around the actress say, this is true. The character of Julia Roberts alienated many people from her , who realized in time that it was better to stay away from the beauty. So what does the star hide behind her perfect smile?
Julia Roberts’ character is far from angelic
For many, Julia Roberts is a role model . She has built a stunning career, looks dazzling, and has also found a balance between work and personal life. In addition, Julia is a conscious person who is not indifferent to the global problems of the planet. The actress cares about the environment and also participates in various useful UNICEF initiatives. Do not praise too much! However, it is difficult for people who are close to Julia to squeeze out at least a couple of affectionate words about the celebrity. It’s all about her complex character.
It can be very difficult with Julia. And both her loved ones and people at work understood this long ago. Any problems turn into a global catastrophe when you deal with Julia. It is not clear how the actress manages to hide her nature . This is another talent of the star.
Isn’t family above all else?
Julia Roberts doesn’t like to remember her childhood. And she has many reasons for this. The girl’s parents separated when Julia was only four. The mother did not grieve alone for a long time and quickly found herself a new chosen one. But, probably, there was no need to rush so much. After all, life with Michael Motes, whom she so hastily married, was far from ideal. Everyone suffered : the mother Betty Lou Bredemas herself, and her three children, including Julia. Most likely, Michael was not very happy in his marriage either. Why else would he treat his wife and her children this way?
Michael almost immediately after his marriage to Betty Lou began to show his dark side. The man drank a lot, and then gave himself the freedom to insult his wife and even mock her children . Julia’s mother endured it for a long time. She had a glimmer of hope that Michael would become softer when they had a child together. But when baby Nancy was born, nothing changed. All hopes for a happy family life collapsed, and Betty Lou decided to divorce.
Julia Roberts doesn’t even mention her stepfather in interviews. She probably never let go of old grievances. Rumor has it that as a child the future actress was very afraid of Michael. And that’s why she still hates him . Interestingly, Julia did not find a common language with her own brother Eric. For a decade they simply practically did not communicate. The fact is that when Eric was divorcing his wife and resolving custody issues, Julia supported not her brother, but his ex-wife. It is also worth noting that it was her brother who once helped Julia start her career as an actress. She repaid him with such a coin.
However, ten years later, when Julia herself had already become a mother, she said that she did not quarrel with her brother at all. The actress emphasized that both she and Eric have strong characters, so it can be difficult for them to communicate . Well, it seems that instead of overcoming these difficulties, Julia simply decided not to waste her energy and not communicate with her blood relative.
Things turned out even worse with my maternal sister
It must be difficult to love the daughter of someone you hate. We are talking about Nancy, who was born to her mother Julia in a marriage with Michael Motes. Julia’s relationship with Nancy has always been bad . Honestly, the story is similar to the situation with my brother, only here, unfortunately, the end is much more tragic.
For Nancy, Julia has always been an example. Therefore, the girl, like her older sister, aspired to become a successful actress. Of course, she more than once asked Julia to help her in some way . Maybe put in a good word somewhere. Julia’s help ended with her helping her sister get a job as a waitress and then as an assistant on the set. This was not at all what Nancy was expecting. However, Julia should not be blamed here either. After all, in order to become a successful actress, first of all you need to have talent and develop it. But Julia could not invest her acting talent in her sister, no matter how hard she tried.
As a result, their previously imperfect relationship became increasingly worse. In addition, Nancy underwent surgery, after which it was difficult for her to stay in shape. There was a time when the girl weighed more than 100 kg. They say that Julia did not support her sister in any way, and even, on the contrary, criticized her for not being able to pull herself together. This attitude hurt Nancy’s self-esteem. She ended up committing suicide. And in a long letter of 12 pages, she described how family problems affected her. Nancy blamed her sister Julia for all her troubles. She wrote that she made her insecure and ruined her life.
Julia took the tragedy with her sister with restraint. She later stated that Nancy’s action was her personal choice , which required remarkable willpower. Insiders share that Nancy probably specifically wrote about Julia in the letter in order to take revenge on her and tarnish the reputation of a successful actress.
Julia Roberts’s relationship with colleagues
A separate article could be written about Julia Roberts’ antics on the set. But still, we suggest you remember a couple of points. Roberts woke up famous after the film Pretty Woman, where she played alongside Richard Gere . Such success clearly turned Julia’s head, and she literally became a star . Soon, when the actress was invited to star in Steven Spielberg’s film Captain Hook, she made it clear to everyone who the main star was. Stephen, by the way, later regretted inviting Julia to the shoot.
In the film, Julia played the fairy Tinker Bell, but she was eventually nicknamed Tinker Hell (Tinker from Hell). The actress tormented the entire crew with her desires. It got to the point that she demanded to hire a person who would wash her feet after a working day . The fact is that Julia played most of the scenes barefoot.
Later, in another film, the actress quarreled with her scene partner Nick Nolte. She didn’t like him, that’s all. And Julia didn’t hide it. In one interview, she called Nick disgusting. It was difficult for the filmmakers, who found themselves between two fires, to get out. We even had to hire actors similar to Julia and Nick to replace them in certain scenes.
What about Roberts’ personal life?
The beautiful Julia always had enough fans. But in these matters, the actress was no less demanding than on the set. In the 90s, Julia broke the heart of actor Kiefer Sutherland . They were dating and were one step away from marriage. The date of the celebration had already been set, but at the last moment, namely three days before the wedding, Julia decided that she and Kiefer were not on the same path.
They say that Julia started an affair with Kiefer’s friend. And instead of a wedding and honeymoon with the actor, she went with her new chosen one to Ireland. True, Julia did not manage to have much privacy with him. Because paparazzi followed them everywhere in droves . In 1993, the actress finally married singer Lyle Lovett. True, their marriage did not last even two years.
It turned out that all this time the husband and wife practically did not see each other. Even when Lyle had an accident and was in the hospital, Julia did not visit him , citing a busy schedule as an excuse.
Stole someone else’s husband
Julia still met her love. And this time I even fought for her. Or maybe we should say “ gnawed it out with my teeth ”? The fact is that cameraman Danny Moder, who won Julia’s heart, was married. His wife was the famous makeup artist Vera Steimberg. At first, Roberts tried to solve everything with money. She offered Vera good sums so that she would “let go” of Danny. But the woman did not agree to this. Then Julia moved on to more aggressive actions. Immediately she tried to play the role of the victim. Like, Danny swore and swore to her that it was all over with his wife. This move didn’t work. And Roberts started wearing a T-shirt with the words “Mean Faith.” Danny’s wife didn’t want such terrible publicity for herself, so she gave in anyway.
But then other problems began. Danny’s family was crazy about Vera, and after all the tricks, they categorically refused to accept Julia into the family . It seems that the beauty was not particularly bothered by this. And she still made it to the altar with her lover. And when Julia gave birth to twins from Danny, his relatives softened their attitude towards the actress.
True, over the years the idyll in the family was disrupted. Rumor has it that Danny and Julia are not having the best period right now . The actress nags her husband for being the main breadwinner in the family. In addition, Roberts loves to stage scenes of jealousy with or without reason. The actress noticed that her husband often sits on the phone, communicating with fans. It seems that Julia is afraid that everything may come back to her like a boomerang, and she herself will repeat the story of Vera, Danny’s ex.
Interestingly, Julia converted to Hinduism a few years ago. Is he really trying to clear karma?
