Julia Roberts is chopping off her trademark long locks to play a real-life ‘cougar’ on the prowl for love.
The Oscar winner has bought the rights to Liz Gilbert’s book Eat, Prey, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia and plans to play the author in a movie adaptation.
The writer spent a year looking for love on a trek around the world, following a messy divorce and a failed romance, and chronicled her exploits.
Gilbert tasted the cultural delights in Italy, stayed in an ashram in India and completed her trip in Bali.
The book has become a must-read for middle-aged women keen to embark on more rewarding lives – and Roberts can’t wait to get started, even if her friends are begging her to rethink the haircut.
She tells Wenn, “I will be the lead character Liz Gilbert. I’ll cut my hair, even though everyone says that it’s the kiss of death for me, apparently.”
