“Pretty Woman” and others still attract many viewers. This includes Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts’ niece.
Emma Roberts (33) says that the cult classics of her famous aunt Julia Roberts (56) are her “comfort films”. She likes to watch films like “My Best Friend’s Wedding” when she is alone. She also stressed that she could well imagine watching a film together.
These are her favorite Julia Roberts films
In an interview with Variety published on July 5, the actress revealed: “I watch her films when I’m alone on set. I have films of hers downloaded onto my computer that I watch for comfort.” Her favorite films are “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and “America’s Sweethearts.”
And who knows, maybe we’ll see the female duo together in a film one day. “I would like to find the perfect project for me and my aunt, and I know something will come out of it.” But so far, the right thing hasn’t come along. “She’s the best and I want to do something with her. We send each other books and talk about things, but it was never the right thing.”
The 33-year-old is the daughter of Julia Roberts’ brother Eric (68). She spoke openly about her relationship with the well-known actress in previous interviews – and always stressed that she felt no pressure to emulate her success. She never “strived” to be like her, Emma told Tatler magazine in March 2022. “I love her so much, I love her work, but I just do my own thing.”
She doesn’t care about criticism
In her latest film, “Space Cadet,” which was released on Prime Video on July 4, Emma Roberts plays a party girl from Florida who becomes the only hope for a NASA space program. She is not afraid of criticism: “It’s serious,” she emphasized to “Variety” about the romantic comedy. “And people will probably make fun of it, but it’s like, you know what, whatever.” She was “so in love” with the script. “I felt like it really reminded me of all the movies I loved as a kid and teenager, and it felt super fresh, but also very nostalgic at the same time. Everything I had read was so dark and depressing and felt kind of small, and I just wanted to do something that was inspiring, fun and light, and that was it for me.”
